This is one of my favourites TV shows until I saw Season 3
The first 2 seasons are simply amazing. I usually do not watch movies released 10 years from the current year. So for example, as of 2009, I do not watch movies older than 1999. That is because I dislike the bad movie quality, budget, and technology. Kung Fu was one of the exceptions. I loved the lessons that were taught in each episode.
Then a couple of weeks ago I started watching Season 3. If Kung Fu was stopped in 1975, I think I know why. The third season was horrible on so many levels.
1. They decided to reuse casts for different characters. I don't think I need to explain how wrong that is. You just do not do that in Television.
2. They chose not to cast Asian actors, instead, they make up characters who are just like Caine. White guys with an excuse to not look like Chinese... but are.
3. The episodes don't teach lessons anymore. Instead they get all mystical. Illusions, voodoos, creepy dark enemies. The biggest mistake Kung Fu made was going overboard with sci-fi.
Thats just from half of season 3. I stopped watching after "Cannon at the gate" or something like that. Ridiculous. You cannot argue that S3 is not the worst of the series.
