monkeygirl Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 A new MA TV show is starting soon. It was originally supposed to be called "The Bounty Hunter". It's about a martial arts instructor who teaches teens. The general gist of it is that he's been falsely accused of a crime in China (methinks), so he fled to America to take over a martial arts school from his mentor. Corny plot, but could be good. Day: Sunday, March 30th Time: 9:00 Eastern (an hour long) Channel: The WB From what I can tell, it's supposed to air every Sunday at 9 pm. This puts it in direct competition with Alias...not a good place to be in. So, everyone, try to check out this show if you're interested, and give it some support! I know I'll at least be taping it. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
KickChick Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Why oh Why the "WB" .... Another "cheesy" teen series .... http://www.blacksashonline.com/
rb Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 I'm getting ill just looking at their episode stills. Silk outfits and poor stances o-my.
monkeygirl Posted April 1, 2003 Author Posted April 1, 2003 Did anybody actually see this show??? I was out of town and missed the pilot episode. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
fungku Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Why must american television insist on continually making a mockery of Kung Fu? Visit Shaolin, Chinese Martial Arts - I don't fear the 10,000 techniques you've practised once, I fear the one technique you've practiced 10,000 times. -
OldRookie Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 KickChick, I kind'a had the same "Cheesy" feely after seeing the commercials....troubled teens (that just happen to all look like models..) building relationships & learning to trust one another as they study martial arts-{{{..yawn......}}} Dawson's Creek with a few lame fights & "training" thrown in= . Russell Wong stars as the ex-cop Sifu with the checkered past......you think that sounds bad?!--my kids were watching The Karate Kid on the tube tonight,talk about cheesy! *1st Dan Oct 2004*"Progress lies not enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.""It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them."
TKDLadyInSC Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 I saw the pilot episode. I will probably watch the next two episodes just to give it a fair chance. Sometimes TV exec's try too hard on the pilot. If it doesn't improve, it will be out of my lineup. 1st Degree Black BeltTaeKwonDo
BKJ1216 Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 I might watch it. Is it another one of those Kung Fu types? I'm so sick of them because 90% of them are inaccurate. on a nother note isn't it sad how the WB is taking in more and more teens and ruining there repuation with the cheesy programming they have, and now they're doing it to martial artist.

Pacificshore Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Call it cheesy, teenie, whatever...........but I saw the pilot and the second episode, and I guess I'm just not hard to please when it comes to anything martial arts related on the tube. I simply watch it for pure entertainment purposes, not to actually try and learn anything from it(physical martial arts movements, etc.). As for the story line, plot, what have you, it's all up to the writers. As for being lined up with Alias, well fortunately for me with this satillite TV, I can't get that channel anymore, so I gotta make due with what I got. Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia
shotochem Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I survived the last episode . My 9yr old thinks is cool. I however consider it an excellent tool for martial artists.......... of how NOT TO PREFORM YOUR TECHNIQUES!!! It is just amusing fluff that resembles MA. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
