In a World of...Improvised Movie Homages

Jun 21, 2022

Bugged by Crime (In the Style of an 80’s “Sentient Car” TV Show Like “Knight Rider”)

In a World of…criminals who operate above the law, one man, Simon, along with his sentient Volkswagen Minibus, is a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the Department of Unending Charity, Humanity, and Excellence. Stumbling on a plot where a small community is about to be devastated by an evil man who seeks to further his own ends, Simon must get involved and protect the innocent, the helpless and the powerless. This episode features the improv games Best of Times, Worst of Times, Last Letter, First Letter, 2-Word Typewriter, Pardon, and Cutting Room. About This Episode In this episode, we pay homage to Knight Rider (and other “vehicle based TV shows from the 80s…”). In the 80s, there was a string of TV shows featuring a man with a very cool vehicle, and each week he would arrive in a small town and stumble upon a criminal enterprise, usually where a rich powerful man was taking advantage of a good-hearted, community minded, small business owner. There was a LOT of shows like this, but only one with a sentient, talking car, so that’s the way we went!
