I remember back in '74 when Kung Fu was at the height of popularity we used to practise drop kicks on each other at school. Thanks Dave, great times.

This is indeed sad news. Kung Fu was awesome.

Looks like someone figured out how to take the pebble. Sorry.

We shall bow at you, man. I did not see Kung Fu, but what I saw what Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, which was something good, to me. I'm going to see it tomorrow, not that Im in home with Tv.

That was what I was implying Vlad.

It's ironic given the manner of his death that he was found in a city with that name.

"Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?"
"Old man, how is it that you hear these things?"
"Young man, how is it that you do not?"

A great show that had lasting impact on this one.

RIP.

Hehehe, one of my "must watch" programs as a kid, every other activity came to a halt in my neighborhood when Kung Fu came on. We used to try to simulate blocking arrows *from a play bow* and thrown spears *broom sticks* just like our hero...somehow nobody got seriuosly hurt. They still show the reruns once in a while.

Dave had been hosting "Wild West Tech" recently too, but he'll always be Caine to me. RIP Grasshopper.
