Does the original presentation reel exist anywhere?
As Knight Rider aficionados know, the show began life not as a Pilot, but as a presentation reel that was about 30 or so minutes long. Some of the footage in the Pilot was taken from that presentation reel. This presentation reel was filmed in the Spring of 1982; the Pilot was filmed in July, with additional filming in August, when it was discovered the first cut wasn't long enough for a Sunday night movie.
