Kung Fu TV Show.
Before David Carradine was cast in the main role, future martial arts star Bruce Lee had written a detailed outline under the title of "The Warrior." Hoping to play the lead and eventually turned down, Bruce Lee would return to Hong Kong to make movie history.
The best episodes I've seen so far, are from the first season and the second.
