3. Knight Rider, KITT
For four seasons, modern-day knight errant David Knight tooled around in his talking 1982 black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. And while David Hasselhoff was cool, the car was way cooler. KITT (which stands for Knight Industries Three Thousand) had a soothing voice accompanied by red, pulsing grill lights and an artificially intelligent robot brain crammed under the hood.
