# If it's impossible, you can bet it will be done by the end of the show
For all the shows at that time, it was pretty much the same. There was an episode of Knight Rider where the car said jumping over the ramp on the back of a moving truck in a stunt show was not possible, but it was done with apparent ease. And then there was that episode of Airwolf where they managed to loop the loop.

I did come up with an idea for a parody of a Knight Rider-like show many years ago. It was a making of documentary, and there would have been a bit where the producer gathered everyone together that would have gone like this:

Producer: Many of you know <actor's name> who was staring in our sister show involving a high-tech motorcycle, Street Eagle. Unfortunately, he died earlier on today as a result of a high speed crash
Crew member: What happened?
Producer: Well, we managed to build a motorcycle capable of travelling through rush-hour traffic at 300mph. During a practice run, someone opened their car door.

# Then again, it was the 80's.
If it was even a little bit out of logical thinking, it could be done, and done perfectly. For example, the A-Team's infamous cabbage gun.
We need ingenuity like that in the special forces.

And as for the parody, I think even today that would be fitting; maybe not as much as back then, but then again all the old shows are coming back, along with trademark absurdity. Go for it. ^^
