Suikoden (1973)
Superb series based on a Chinese legend

My first thoughts on "Crouching Tiger" were that it was very much in the vein of the Water Margin, but with superior production values. However, the Water Margin story is much superior, the cast go at it with gusto, and it made for an altogether very satisfying long running series. Hopefully it will be re-run sometime; I had hoped that getting cable would allow me to see it on any old obscure channel that cared to bring it back!
Incidentally, while it was being shown the theme song made a slight dent in the charts, albeit sung in English on one side and Japanese on the other.
