That's no way to describe the greatest 80's TV show of all time...

It's not that this CNN article about David Hasselhoff filing for divorce is all that interesting, I just think that the one sentence description of the TV show "Knight Rider" sounded rather ridiculous and even insulting. In describing Hasselhoff's career, it states:

"He also starred in the 1980s TV series 'Knight Rider', in which his character, Michael Knight, teamed with a talking Pontiac Trans Am sports car to fight crime."

Teamed with a talking car to fight crime? Sure, it's true, but they make it sound like it was nothing but a third-rate kids show! As any red-blooded, Gen X-ish TV connoisseur knows, "Knight Rider" was not a ridiculous show at all. And certainly not a kids show. So I don't know what kind of non-good-TV-recognizing loser wrote that article (probably somebody's loser grandma), but here's how the show should've been described (in one sentence just to be fair):

"He also starred in the kick-ass TV series 'Knight Rider', in which his smooth-talking, leather-clad, non-balding character, Michael Knight, supplemented his superior crime fighting skills with a sleek, jet-black, customized, supercharged, fully-automated, independent, voice-a-matronic, wise-cracking, Darth Vader's bathroom-looking Trans-Am (capable of reaching speeds of 300 mph and leaping 50 feet into the air) named KITT, which stands for "Knight Industries Two Thousand" or "Killing is the Ticket" depending on how you interpret the subtext of the scripts or how you hear the words in the opening theme song when played backwards at 1/3 normal speed."

I should probably be an Associated Press reporter.
