A personal note:
Long before Kill Bill, when my parents attended high society dinners, or whatever investment bankers and their wives do on Friday and Saturday nights, basic cable would function as my babysitter. Nanny programing like X-Files, Renegade, Tales From the Crypt, and Kung Fu The Legend Continues. They of course were cheaper than a real person and didn't invite their boyfriends over to steal my parent's beer.

Even though most of the old Kung Fu episode's have since been purged from my memory to make room for more important things. I'll never forget the time David Carradine's character eluded some bad guys by climbing a perfectly flat wall using his bare hands. It was an impressive feat, even for a Kung Fu master. Every other episode it seemed like he just pummeled henchmen with a walking stick.
