Quick, can you remember where these names come from?

CROCKETT
KITT
ROPER
ROSCO
TATU
TRIPPER

The funny thing is these 80s tv character name references are pulled from the latest line of Jordache men’s jeans. Yes the designer jeans company that graced the ass of many babes in the eighties with their free spirited horse head embroidery is back. Of course they also have women’s jeans with names like Alexis, Morgan and Heather which will ring a bell for eighties prime time soap fans. They’ve even brought back some classic 80s t-shirt designs.

Highlight here for answers! ==>Miami Vice, Knight Rider, Three’s Company, Dukes of Hazard, Fantasy Island, Three’s Company<==

I remember seeing preview ads for Knight Rider when I was a kid in the 1982 and couldn’t wait for this show to air. The series featured a computerized car with artificial intelligence, an arsenal of gadgetry and a dry wit plus some likeable human characters such as Michael Knight played by David Hasselhoff. The premier episode and those that followed featured a mix of humor and action, lots of car stunts, explosions, sexy eighties ladies with big hair and lots of makeup and bad guys getting what they deserve.

Watch or Download Knight Rider Episode 1

Knight Rider inspired several other “crimefighter plus high-tech vehicle” series, such as Airwolf, Viper, Street Hawk, Blue Thunder and The Highwayman. There were also a few animated cartoon series partially inspired by the series; one was Turbo Teen, which featured a teenager who could morph into a talking car. Glen A. Larson also produced a short-lived show called Automan that featured a hero with a virtual computer sidekick called “Cursor” that could become whatever was needed at the moment.

There were also Knight Rider video games released in 1988 and 2003, try to guess which screen shot is which…

A new Knight Rider Movie is planned for 2008, check out the cool car in this poster!
