i saw this when it first air . it be dump on tv over the summer after the movie come out and i guess after the power that be decide not to make the series . i distinctly remember think that they have finally cast remo correctly . thin and big wrist and bad sense of humor and and a very good martial artist . ( i love fred ward and but he be never remo to me . ) joel grey be a very good chiun a well and though at the time i think that they would never have him on the regular series and since it wasn not broadway . silly me . the humor be there and the characterization . the writer be much more in tune with the book than the movie be . i do not remember the detail well and a it be a long time ago . i sure wish they have go ahead with the series .
