    Just when you thought the Hoff doesnt know a thing about fashion, he shows up to the wild wild west dressed to kill. An interesting story, but a stretch to get the car involved.

    Kitt the matador

    Michael and K. I. T. T. are send to protect a group of ranchers who's water supply is being cut off by a wealthy landowner. Michael meets his match in a hotheaded young widow who leads the fight for their rights and is instructed to make sure she doesn't do anything too impulsive.

    A simple good vs bad with the emphasis on water supply. Average episode bolstered by wide open countryside, dams and KITT becoming matodor and putting a bull through his faces. The fun is in it's simplicity, though it's not too outstanding.

    Worth it just to see KITT and the bull

    Not a particularly great ep, unfortunately because I don't think the guest cast was very good surprisingly because of Carey Jr who was great in so many westerns.

    But even still, seeing KITT be a bull fighter is one of the best gags of the series.

    Not a Drop to Drink

    Veteran character actor Harry Carey jr plays a rancher who with his hot headed daughter in law reluctantly accepts Michael's help to take on a despicable landowner who wants to take their land by sabotaging the water supply.

    In order to aid the ranchers, KITT drives the car sideways, rounds up a rampaging bull, pretends to be a being from outer space to make a dim henchman talk (I guess the Cylon front grille helped.) Unfortunately a dog mistakes KITT for a lamppost in order to relieve itself.

    Sondra Currie is very appealing as Francesca the widow with a cute boy who has an attraction for Michael.

    We also see KITT fire some rockets to stop a dam from bursting which uses footage from Superman: The Movie.

    No Oscar winners here

    I guess it was that time period/era but acting was so bad and wooden from the actors in each episodes. Cringe worthy to watch

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The scene where KITT fires rockets to cause a mountain to collapse into the path of water from a breached dam, the footage used is the same footage seen in Superman (1978) where an earthquake causes a dam to break and Superman collapses a mountain in to the water's path. The show's producers found it was cheaper to purchase the footage from the Superman film rather than trying to re-create their own scene.
    • Goofs
      The stretch of film showing the breaking dam wall, the river in flood and the collapsing mountain, was taken from Superman (1978), a wide screen motion picture, edited in just like that, and therefore appears in a (distorted) wrong aspect ratio.
    • Quotes

      Devon Miles: We may have left these people with an even more serious problem than they had to begin with.

      Susan Wade: Do you have any ideas?

      Devon Miles: Only one: Michael Knight.
