    Used to watch Kung Fu as a wee tacker.

    So long Grasshopper.

    A sad loss. I have fantastic memories of watching David in Kung Fu during my impressionable years. Definately the best viewing around at that time. I would love to see the series again.

    Always enjoyed the fact he would be playing his wooden flute one minute, then smacking some guy in the face the next.

    Really?...he walked along dusty roads playing his recorder and had a bit of a kick around at the end, in between talking to 'Yes Master'..

    But I agree in part, it was good show.

    There was so much wisdom and good advice in Kung Fu. Some of it still resonates with me.

    Don;t go there. You'll ruin the fond memories.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    JD's right. Don't watch reruns, they will only make you aware that the memories are better than the reality. I think he was cool dude as Actors go and sure enjoyed Kung Fu as a teenie. But there could have been more butt kicking per episode.

    I suspect he lived a fun filled 72 years.
    ps-Grasshopper would have kicked that Chuck Dorris for a six anyday.

    Nothing worse than re-runs killing the memories.

    I watched a re-run of a Blakes 7 episode, how did I ever think that was cutting edge?

    Better to keep wearing my rose tinted glasses when I think of these old shows.

    He had about as much dialog as Clint Eastwood.

    Planet of the Apes/Starsky and Hutch/Logans Run/Space 1999/$6Mil Man/Charlies Angles.....they had thier merits but looking back, what were they thinking?
