Name This TV Series

[DJ Doena]

Back to our usual programming..........

"Programming" is an interesting choice of words for this TV show.

Since a "cursor" has drawn this helicopter.

It's Automan.

A quick search shows it's for sale but...ouch.

These are not official releases, they would be vhs or tv converts so poor quality. I got suckered in to something similar with the Beverly Hillbillies and Sgt Bilko sets 

According to Universal there are no official releases for this series yet on dvd

I was just going to pose the question about these being legit as the site says the format is DVD-R. Ah well have to wait and see.

Hint: It's a picture from the pilot and he won't look that way much longer.

I just realised. Could that be Knight Rider?

Him?



That is correct.

In the pilot episode, police officer Michael Arthur Long (played by Larry Anderson) was betrayed and nearly killed by a gunshot wound to the head by an industrial espionage expert named Tanya Walker (Phyllis Davis). A metal plate in Long's skull, the result of a head injury sustained during the Vietnam War, deflected the round, which still inflicted serious facial damage.

Given a new face via facial reconstructive surgery, Long is resurrected as Michael Knight (now played by David Hasselhoff)
