Kung Fu looks awful. Maybe I'll start watching the old series again.

Newt,

Interesting that Katey Sagal's character on The Conners is currently infected with Covid. Methinks the impact on her and how often she is seen again on the show, if ever, is 100% dependent on how well Rebel does as a series. Wouldn't surprise me if Katey's Conners character survives but the relationship between her and Dan is going to be put on hold to allow for sporadic guest appearances. If Rebel fails as a series, she'll be brought back again as a more regular part of the cast.

I was only aware of the 1970's Kung Fu tv series so thanks for the tip on the 1990's version.

It’s the right blend of serious and cheesy. Good 90’s fun.
