5.0 out of 5 stars Still A Great Show, Even After 30 Years, January 28, 2005

By	Aloe Buff (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I remember watching this show religiously when I was a kid and thinking it was the best thing on TV. The philosophy of life exemplified by the character Kwai Chang Caine (David Carradine) had a real and lasting impact on me. Watching the same episodes all over again 30 years down the road, I find that they have not lost their original power. I would recommend watching this show with your children. If everyone learned to behave more like Kwai Chang Caine, the world would be a better place indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best TV shows ever made, June 17, 2005

By	Scott Masterton (Blaine, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was the series that intruduced martial arts and Eastern philosophy to a whole generation. Although Caine (David Carradine) uses martial arts in the show, Kung-Fu was never a martial arts show. Caine, if anything, is a Christ-like figure; he's gentle and forgiving and has a deep insight into the human condition. The show is extremely character and story driven with a touch of action, which makes for great entertainment that any age viewer can enjoy and understand on different levels.

There has been much discussion concerning the fact that Bruce Lee was in fact one of the original creators of the show and that it was actually designed to be a vehicle for him. How much of that is true and how much of the story is Hollywood myth is debatable and frankly unimportant...however, what is true is that Bruce had a completely different aura about him. His Caine would have been completely different and in my humble opinion, the show would have become a martial arts series and therefore not nearly as "important" or deep. Carradine brought a real softness to the character that made the show what it was.

If you want to watch good TV that not only entertains but teaches, buy all three seasons of Kung-Fu, you won't be dissappointed.
