This year marks the 20th anniversary of "Kung Fu - The Legend Continues".
I think it would be great to share some of your memories connected to KFTLC. So if you have photos and stories of meeting some of the actors, visiting the set or attending one of the Fu Fests, I would be very happy to share them. And if you- like me- never had the chance to get this close to our heroes, maybe you want to share how you first discovered the show no matter where you are from.
Ok, so I guess it is my turn to start ;) I think it was in 1994 when the show first aired on German TV at 10 pm on a channel called PRO 7. Thanks to my grandparents my brother and I had the privilige of having our own TV set. Still remember the fights when we both wanted to watch something. We carried the TV from one room to the other each week but that did not help at all. My mom told us she would throw it out of the window or down the stairs a lot during these days. Luckily she never really did that.
But back to watching KFTLC. I am pretty sure I came across it by accident while zapping through the channels. And I am pretty sure the first episode I saw was "The Laquered Box". Still one of my faves to this day. Now comes the part which you canot really explain, the part why I kept watching. Of course it was Chris who fascinated me from the first moment on and then there was this father-son relationship, the Kung Fu philosophy and David Carradine who in my eyes always had something very special about him. So I watched a new episode each week until the show ended.
Then in 2004 when the show re-aired here in Germany, I started to meet other fans from all around the world thanks to an invention called the internet. The rest is history! ;)
Now going 20 years back again: These screenshots are from a Talk Show Chris and David attended before the pilot premiered in January 1993 on US TV:
