Hooked on Kung Fu


I was off work for a couple of weeks to help get the house in order and to help my wife take care of the little one. Since she would be awake early every morning (night to most people) to comfort our child and try, unsuccessfully, to get him to sleep, I tried to get up earlier than usual to let her get some sleep, after all that was why I was home. That didn’t work some days but on the days that I did get up I couldn’t really do much but watch TV while holding little Alan. So I flipped through the channels endlessly trying to find something even halfway decent to watch. Finally, one morning I stumbled on Kung Fu: The Legend Continues and was instantly hooked on it.

For those who don’t know the show is about a son and his dad, a Shaolin priest, fighting crime and instilling moral virtues in viewers. A little gunplay and some martial arts always make for good viewing, even if it is Canadian made.

Anyhow, back to the story. That first morning I didn’t note down the time the show was on so every day after that I searched tirelessly trying to find it. A day or two later I finally found the show again, weekday mornings at 8 am on Showcase and again at 3:00 in the afternoon. I am back at work now and will not be able to watch the show anymore but lucky for me the first three seasons are on DVD. Coincidently my birthday is approaching and that other gift giving holiday is not too far away either (I dare not name it in the middle of summer). Some may think Kung Fu: the Legend Continues is a lame show but for some unexplained reason I just can’t get enough of it.

Hahahahaha... I loved that show! The acting, the words of wisdom and his super hot son with the sexy mullet who sometimes forgot his fu when fighting the bad guys. Kaine was so cool he could do air fu and send the evil doers flying through walls!

Sighh... another remnant from my teenaged years when I wanted to marry Chris Potter.
