The first season of Knight Rider, an American television series, debuted on September 26, 1982, and ended on May 6, 1983. It aired on NBC.[1] The region 1 DVD was released on August 3, 2004.[2]
Knight Rider had a two-hour premiere on NBC, airing at 8PM on Sunday night. The show was put up against Dallas, and would eventually move NBC out of third place in the network race. No other show had ever survived that time slot.[citation needed] The show eventually aired on Friday nights, and in December 1982 became the second-highest-rated show of its day; M*A*S*H was number 1.
The show was renewed for a second season during the filming of "Short Notice".
