Now, I'm sick with complaints of people who obviously don't know much about TV. TV series present FICTION, folks; even if they show you the Statue of Liberty and say the place is Gotham city or Metropolis, so it will be. Geez.The main actors are not martial artists and so much the better. The previous attempt, which featured Brandon Lee, was not even sold, so live with it. If you want martial artists, go and see 'The Crow', or other stuff. There's hundreds of them. KFTLC is about acting and acting makes it the cult classic it is.I don' deny the series obvious flows. Some episodes are badly done, like 'The Return of the Shadow Assassin' (s. 2), for instance; or plain pointless (like 'Kundela' or 'Dragon's Daughter'). Also the show had very really low budget and even provided that it did well. Imagine what it could have done with few millions more. And remember, KFTLC was shot in the mid-90s, it can never have the visual quality of present day television, for crying out loud!! A serious negative side is the fantasy element. Time travel is fine but Warner did really bad by cutting the way of the 1st season took. They thought it was too much violence when the 1st season's stories tackled some very real and serious issues like drug addiction and human trafficking.As for the actors, some of the guest actors are really bad. BUT they matter not! The main support actors, Scott Wentworth, Kate Trotter and Kim Chan are exquisite in their performances. Actually it was a great move to include them and add to the story of Caine & Peter with more regulars. When it comes to the leads, KFTLC is all about the relationship between father and son. When an episode fails elsewhere, they are there to the rescue; flawless! They act naturally and so well that one wonders whether they're not related in real life. It is them, the lead actors, the made the show. When I give 10 stars to the show, I give them to David and Chris. David Carradine & Chris Potter are without doubt one of the greatest tandems that have ever graced the TV screen. Not many have come close to them since then...

I remember watching this show with my Mom whenever it came on to TNT. I was disappointed when it was canceled and I'm hoping sooner or later it'll come out onto DVD. Of course I don't remember everything about the show, however if it ever comes out onto DVD I will buy it.I still like to watch David Carradine and Chris Potter on other movies and television series. My other favorite with Potter was Silk Stalkings, I was also disappointed when that was canceled as well. If anyone has any info regarding the Kung Fu: The Legend Continues ever coming to DVD please contact me at my email address.Overall the show was excellent. I would give it a A++++

This is another example of why many sequels and spin-offs don't work. The main thing I didn't like about this show was that the producers couldn't make up their minds on whether to make this a cop drama or make it a supernatural thriller. David Carradine looks as if he only took this role to get a paycheck and the acting looks ordinary at best. The supporting cast is nothing to write home about except for Kermit, who constantly wore sunglasses everywhere he went. The only other thing that makes the show somewhat work is the conflict between Caine and his son Peter. You pretty much get the usual story of traditional values versus modern society. That's the only thing that saved this series from being a total loss.

One of the local channels just started airing this less than a month ago. They show it every workday night. I fully agree with the first comment here (by anonymous, 27 October 1998). At first, I thought it was lame, but after I had watched 1 or 2 episodes, I really began to like it and now I watch it every day if I have the chance. The most of all I like the character of Kwai Chang Caine. When fighting, he uses minimum violence to defeat his opponents, never kills them (at least I haven't seen it yet). He is kind and wise etc. I haven't seen the original series or the movies, but his character makes me want to see these too.This IS one of the (very few) best series since "Magnum, P.I.", in my humble opinion. The similarity between Magnum and Kung Fu: TLC is that while both deal with action and fighting bad guys, their real focus is on human relations, friendship etc. And more - in Magnum, Tom Selleck fit the role so perfectly, that it was hard to believe this was acting. I think it is also true with David Carradine.
