Trivia
In the script, Michael's disguise (Dr. Michael Knightwood) is described as "dressed sort of egg-headishly, and even wears rather unglamorous glasses. He definitely looks different." "Dr. Knightwood" has a PhD in Physics from the Washington University of Technology, his most recent publication was The Journal of Military Science. The subject matter was Star Wars Space Weaponry. In a cut scene that shows him preparing his cover, Michael tells K.I.T.T. that "Given the choice between a beautiful woman and a good floppy disc, I'll take the floppy disc anytime." K.I.T.T. doesn't believe a word of it.

Goofs
When K.I.T.T. turbo boosts over the 4x4, a finger is seen pressing the Turbo Boost button even though nobody is driving K.I.T.T. at the time.

Quotes
Bonnie Barstow: Actually the Foundation was thinking of adopting Sheeba as a pet.
K.I.T.T.: You have to be kidding!
Michael Knight: Hey, we have a K.I.T.T... Why not have a cat?
[Sheeba roars]
K.I.T.T.: Very funny!

Crazy credits
All six guest actors in this episode receive on-screen main guest credits after the opening theme. Nothing strange with that, but in an unusual manner, the five first, omitting the sixth, are on-screen credited a second time during the end credits.

Wow they really love Ann Turkel as a villain, and it's understandable cause she's awesome, but it would be better if she played the same villain. Storyline was interesting and a few fun moments.
