Rush Hour deserved to be a contender, especially with Lethal Weapon being successful as a TV series. If the Kardashians can be on our screens for who knows how long, then why not Rush Hour? It deserved a second season, and shame on the powers-that-be for not giving Rush Hour room to grow.
Anyway there's a lot of ethnic jokes and humorous ethnic references in Rush Hour. In episode 7 for instance you had the classic line from Carter..."Freakin' Australians!! Do you know they take all our movie roles? Russell Crowe, Chris Hemsworth." This is the first of many ethnic mis-references from James, as Russell Crowe is a New Zealander, not Australian. Also in that episode James makes Japanese references to his Chinese partner Jonathan Lee (played by Jon Foo),and Jonathan politely correctly corrects him, although Jonathan failed to recognize Russell is from New Zealand. Australians, New Zealanders...to some they all look alike I guess.
I can't believe Wendie Malick was 66 years old in this episode, "Wing Beneath my Wingman". Wendie is extraordinarily stunning.
