Episode Title: Fallen Angel Original Airdate: November 3rd, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song by: Steve Corning, http://thinkfishtank.com Airwolf Years Log...

Hawke must prove Dom’s innocence when he is arrested for the murder of his ex-wife. Side note: Dominic should never be this sad. EVER.

Episode Title: Sins Of The Past Original Airdate: October 27th, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song by: Steve Corning, h...

So, for this episode, Dave’s oldest friend in the world joined the show to talk about Holly. What is it about Holly that she needs an entire episode devoted to her? Apparently, there’s a LOT about her. Listen in as we discuss rock baths, high school memories, giant salads and so much more! Episode Title: The Truth About Holly Original Airdate: October 13th, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song by:...

What to say about this episode? Dom was a delight as always, so we welcome that. Otherwise, this episode had little to no plot, and what plot there was, was pretty damn incomprehensible and made no sense. BUT, we had Courtney back for this episode, so that helped ease the pain of the episode! Episode Title: Moffett’s Ghost Original Airdate: October 6th, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song by: Stev...

Dominic must help an old friend and prove he’s not crazy, even though his friend is seeing lights in the sky! Lights with missiles no less!

Let’s dig through our 80’s Season Premiere checklist and see if it meets the criteria for a classic episode, shall we? 1) Scumbag Sheriff: Check 2) Idiot Deputy: Check 3) Attractive Female Costar: Check 4) Illegal hunting ranch in the middle of the state of Texas with no explanation: Uh, Check? 5) Rundown Dive Bar: Check 6) Simpleton convinced that Airwolf is a UFO: Um, ok? 7) Dom and String havin...

This week, we battled some truly terrible technological issues to welcome one of our listeners to the show! Chris joins us this week to discuss the wonder of the first season of Airwolf, and we couldn’t be happier that someone that he wanted to join us! Listen in as we recap all 12 episodes of Season 1 and talk about our favorite moments from the show! Bring on Season 2! ----- Airwolf Years Theme...

Hawke and Dom are filming a series of Air Force training, while also trying to stop a madman from stealing Airwolf! Listen in as we discuss biplanes, film crews, pit toilets, old men with cameras and much more! Episode Title: To Snare A Wolf Original Airdate: April 14th, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song by: Steve Corning, http://thinkfishtank.com Airwolf Years Logo Design by: Luke Larsson, http...

WOW is all we can say after watching this! This episode does away with the hundreds of thousands of miles travelled in favor of a mostly low key episode. This episode also sees Hawke at his most human, which quite frankly, is amazing to see! That’s not to say we don’t poke some fun with some of the stuff in this episode, because hey, it’s us! Stay tuned after the episode to hear Greg channel his i...

Airwolf goes to Africa and does all sorts of wonderful things: It goes sightseeing, it goes on safaris, it watches the beautiful sunset, it destroys missile silos, it has an affair with the president's wife, and it dive bombs soldiers. You know, what you usually do when you visit a foreign continent. But seriously, this episode was dark and broody, much like our dear Stringfellow. Listen in as we...

How could an episode that largely featured a man we love so dearly leave us wanting so much more? Was it us? Were we still coming down off the high of last week’s episode and guest? Were the Cubans at fault? Was it Archangel and the FIRM? It’s hard to say…… Listen is as we discuss dark MacGyver, drunk dom, eating food off the floor and much more! Episode Title: Mad Over Miami Original Airdate: Mar...

For today’s episode, we welcomed our first guest to the show! Courtney Coulson, co-host of 60 Seconds to Comply and host of Covenant Minute joins us from the other side of the world to discuss, and we had a blast! Listen in as we discuss fleshy bits, black boxes, nazi hunters, and much more! Episode Title: Fight Like A Dove Original Airdate: March 10th, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song by: Stev...

Hawke blows up, Dominic and Archangel are dead, and St. John is back! WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?!?!?!?! Lots of twists and turns in this episode that sees Hawke trying to piece together what the hell happened! As per usual, though, things got weird about halfway through the episode. Episode Title: Echoes From The Past Original Airdate: March 3rd, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song by: Steve Corning,...

Hawke and Dom’s friendship is put to the test when Hawke calls Dom an old fart. But seriously, this episode really pushed the relationship between the two of them and it was glorious! We also get to the bottom of the Sinjin/St. John debacle! Episode Title: One Way Express Original Airdate: February 18th, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song by: Steve Corning, http://thinkfishtank.com Airwolf Years...

Hawke and Dominic must retrieve an American operative from Russia who’s been undercover for 22 years. Things get complicated when he wants to bring his family home with him. This episode is another example of very little story, stretched out to 49 minutes. That’s cool, though, because helicopters are the best! Episode Title: Proof Through The Night Original Airdate: February 11th, 1984 ----- Airwo...

Dom has his mid air lunch interrupted not only by a stowaway, but also by the fact that his chopper has blown up and been disabled, forcing it to crash land. Will Dom protect himself and the stowaway from doom? Will he go hungry? Will Hawke use his telepathic mind powers to protect his friend? All this and more will be discussed (but probably not) in today’s episode! Episode Title: Bite Of The Jac...

Hawke and Dom must rescue a young Vietnamese American boy from the clutches of low rent Burt Reynolds, all the while Hawke is fawning over a love that once was and will probably never be again. Listen as we discuss mouthwash, snowstorm, Hawke’s inability to smile, and jolly old Dominic’s wonderful personality! Episode Title: Daddy’s Gone a Hunt’n Original Airdate: January 28th, 1984 ----- Airwolf...

It’s a brand new day, and we are more ready than ever to tackle a new show! And boy, did we have a lot to talk about here! From serenading bald eagles with a cello, to spastic aerobic erotic dancing, this episode had us clamoring for more! Bring on the ‘wolf, baby! We’re ready! Episode Title: Shadow of The Hawke, Parts 1 & 2 Original Episode Airdate: January 22, 1984 ----- Airwolf Years Theme Song...

Let's take KITT out for one last ride, shall we? In today's episode, we discuss our top highlights from the series, battle internet problems, and are driven to tears by quite possibly the nicest thing anyone has ever said to us. -- Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ciampaklein/ Instagram: @knightrideryears Twitter: @KnightRiderPod Email us: letusblowyourmind@gmail.com Call our hotlin...

As if this is new information, we were filled with sadness and rage while slogging through the 1991 TV Movie Knight Rider 2000. To be fair, there were faint glimmers of what made Knight Rider special, but sadly they were too few and far between. This movie also commits an unforgivable sin, one that you'll have to tune to the episode to hear us discuss! -- Follow us on Facebook: https://www.faceboo...

KITT, you've been a trusted friend, a wonderful comrade and a blisteringly sarcastic pain in the ass. But all good things must come to an end and we have arrived at your swan song. Join us one last time as we discuss the true series finale of a show that will live on in our hearts forever. -- Theme Song: "White Bird" by It's A Beautiful Day Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ciampakle...

Why in heaven's name would anyone think this would suffice as a SERIES FINALE? Thank goodness we decided that we weren't ending our show with this episode, which sees Michael take on a Voodoo priestess with mind control earrings...….*sigh* -- Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ciampaklein/ Instagram: @knightrideryears Twitter: @KnightRiderPod Email us: letusblowyourmind@gmail.com Call...
