![]() Now that you know how highly I regard "Kung Fu," I would still like to make a few comments about it. ![]() Here is the best way for me to sum up how much I love "Kung Fu": of all the decorations in my home, only one is a photo of a celebrity - an autographed picture of David Carradine as Kwai-Chang Caine. For my money, the first-season episode titled "An Eye for an Eye" remains the finest thing that American episodic TV has ever created. Not only were "Kung Fu's" writing and acting all superlative, but its highly unusual, Zen-like take on the all-American genre of the Western - in case you don't know, the show is about a Buddhist monk roaming the Wild West - still resonates. What good things can I say about the television series "Kung Fu" (1972-75) that haven't already been said? More than 30 years after the original TV show left the airwaves, it remains my favorite American network series.
