Episode: Episode 255--Kung Fu: The Next Generation
Description: Kung Fu originally ran for 3 seasons on ABC and made David Carradine a star. Just like any quality show, a network (in this case, CBS) wanted to reboot it.  Kung Fu: The Next Generation didn't make it out of pilot stage, but did air on CBS in the summer of 1987. It did give us a glimpse of a future legend in a key role.
