I was born in 1980, but this show was still before my rime.
I would try and catch shows whenever i could, but i didn’t control what the fam watched at 6 yo, or even knew shit cme on at the same time and day every week.
But one time i got to see an ep and was like "That dude looks just like Ricky the Dragon Steamboat…IT IS!!!
We’re gonna be seeing him at the LA sports arena!..anyway, Sidekicks.
You need to remember the atmosphere, everyone was a ninja assassin!
Kung-Fu, Karate Kid, Chuck Norris, Karate Komandos, American Ninja
Tae Kwan Do schools were McDojos, so I ended up taking Kung-Fu…those Michael Jackson black slippy sole shoes!
Blast from the past. This was during the time when ninjas were mysterious and supernatural, and we could dodge bullets with chi power.
I used to think the ultimate combo were: Shaolin kung-fu, Pro-wrestling, and Ninjutsu.
I figured I would be unstoppable if I mastered them. Martial Arts has come a long way since then.
lol. I remember that show. Forgot Buck Rogers was in it. Probably why I never watched it. Liked Buck Rogers, didn’t care about him outside of outer space adventures.
Interesting factoid. Ernie Reyes Jr. is an adult now, but still the exact same height as in that show. He’s like chinese Webster.
His friend walking with him in school in the opening scene was the brother Wayne in The Wonder Years. That’s good enough for me. Subbed to watch the pilot episode later.
Pretty sure Don Cheadle is a black street tuff in it, lol
