I WANNA ROCK AND ROLL ALL KNIGHT

Super Bee meets FBI van


Hey Knight Rider fans!

This week's episode explores the dualistic nature of our world. How perception directs our understanding of right and wrong. A meditation on pairs, if you will. Mike & Sarah, Billy & Zoe, Nikki & Max, Rachel & Teresa...


Wait, who are Rachel and Teresa?


That would be us, the writers of this episode. And truth be told, our primary meditation was on sexy criminals running around in a hot car. We loved creating Nikki & Max as a reflection of our heroes Mike & Sarah. Both drive hot cars, but Nikki & Max are expressive and reckless while Mike & Sarah are measured and bottled up. They teeter on the edge but never drop off.


Billy & Zoe, on the other hand, go 'round and 'round. They gossip about Mike & Sarah, but are they really talking about themselves? When are they going to play a little "how's your father?"


The dance was enjoyable for all involved and hopefully will be for you too.


So what didn't you see in this episode? Here are a few tidbits for y'all:


  • We loved the 1970 Dodge Superbee, but the episode was originally written to feature a 1967 Black Panther Camaro, a car that turned out to be so priceless that we couldn't even fake it. There are only two left in existence! Now that would have been hot.


  • Speaking of hot, the day we shot the roadside showdown between Mike and Nikki & Max, it was 105 degrees here in Southern California. Add the reflection off the asphalt and a total lack of breeze and it was about 130 degrees. And then we had to stick Sydney in the trunk of a car. What a trooper.


  • Our director needed additional background actors for the Anderson Valve scene, so we threw on lab coats and stepped in. Can you spot us? As the camera pans to Mike and Sarah, watch for Rachel delivering a wrench in the foreground. We had fun getting a taste of what background actors do every day. Kudos to all of our Knight Rider background for their hard work!


    • Finally, we would not have an episode to blog about without the tremendous collaboration of all the writers, crew, and cast. A special shout out to our guest cast Kelly Kruger & Brandon Quinn for bringing Nikki & Max to life with such sexy badness.


    So that's all, folks. $20 bucks says you'll enjoy this episode...
