While I don't hold to Eastern Mysticism, I liked this show very much. The characters were engaging and had you coming back week after week. I'd even go so far as to say I'd buy the entire series if the Carradine family ever released it on DVD. The last I heard, David had purchased all the rights to this franchise and his family had no interest in releasing them as of yet. I tried watching the original series when it was on as repeats, but I couldn't get into it. I saw enough to recognize scene's they'd borrowed as flashbacks for KF:TLC. At first I wasn't happy with the season three changes, but I really came to love Kermit Griffith. He was by far my favorite character, aside from Peter Caine, of course. I wish the show had run longer than 4 seasons. Thank goodness, fan fiction keeps canceled shows alive, even for the not so die-hard fan like me.
