December 14, 2018 04:05 - 51 minutes - 70.1 MBMichael Knight is back! This time he helps some kid who has bank robbers chasing him because he stole a watch from them that they stole from a banker. Got it? It seems nobody really likes the kid, even his family, because they sell him out to the robbers multiple times. And occasionally someone says it’s Christmas so you don’t forget this is a Christmas episode. (I still say it is not — Mike F.) But still, any show that has KITT jumping stuff and trying to figure out the meaning of...

And, as often is the case, some bad gu...
