Hmmm ... well, it was called Kung Fu, I think. It was on for ages, mostly repeats that I remember. And that's where the grasshopper thing came from, as far as I know. You are from the States, right? Maybe we watched different channels. Kupo, Sweetie, yes, it was on before you were born. And before Babe and 123 were born, too. But it's still fun to call students of life "grasshopper."
Ahhhh, I remember that show. My Dad watched it every Saturday Night. I was like, ummm, 7, when it was on. LOL LOL
I misspoke. I thought it was reruns, but the actual show was going on when I was, like 7 too ... here's the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068093/ Mr. Carradine was supposed to be a Shaolin monk, but he's not even Asian ... yet another example of American television at its best LOL. A lot of people loved the show. They even did some TV movies in the early 90's.
