“You can’t believe how many deaf children love Knight Rider,” David Hasselhoff told the San Bernardino Sun TV Week in 1983. “It’s partly because it’s so visual, and they love to see all the action with the car. It was no surprise to me that many of them didn’t know that the car talked, but I would be thrilled if the series would be closed-captioned for them.”

David Hasselhoff went on to campaign to NBC that Knight Rider should carry closed captions, and it’s thanks to him that the show became accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing.
