Default never realised just HOW sh*t old t.v.was

just finished watching knightrider

never realised just how fookin ridiculous that programme was, couple of things that i found particularly funny was

1. a button to press to activate the turbo which created enough power to make 'kit' jump 40ft in to the air and over a moving jugganaught

2. he's chasing a bad guy and he says to kit 'gimme all ya got kit!' kit then brings up on his telly screen a live video of the bad guys helicopter which is miles away, how does that work

3. all the fight scenes have the bad guy throwing punches 2ft above michael knights head so he can punch them perfectly in the stomach making them drop their knife, good ol michael!

4. he has the ability to tack the villans cars and helicopter on his moniter without ever placing a tracking device on any of the cars????

theres more but theres a few anyone got any similar like the ateam where helicopter crashes, plane crashes machine gun attacks etc never resulted in anything more than a ruffled shirt on the bad guys
