I bet this series would have run for as long as Bonanza if not Gunsmoke had David Carridine not up and quit after the third season. I loved this series and still enjoy watching the reruns whenever they come on cable TV. I think David Carridine was perfect for the role even though he didn't know Kung Fu.
I come here a lot because it's a well lighted place.
I think david carradine was afraid to be typecasted, which is stupid because even if you have no further good roles at least you have that to fall back on. I also heard carradinbe kinda wigged out and shaved his head...thats why you see him doing that towards the end of the third season.
I also felt the ending of the series was kinda rushed. It felt like they were trying to tiee up the loose ends in just a few episodes or so. I wish he had made more....
carradine has admited him self that quiting this series was the biggest mistake of his life... he had no idea that it was such a hit and such a good series until he matured...
a big shame that this series was not given 1 or 2 more years
This is the first time I am watching a few episodes of kung fu first series and they are GREAT!!
Cain is very child like and the stories are superb, it’s very well made and easy to watch. This programme is over 30 years old yet it still looks fresh*
The strange thing is I have just started to watch a new TV series based on ‘terminator’ films and that series s ABSAOLOUTE drivel/ nonsense!!!!
It just shows that a good story and writing lasts forever
