I saw a list for movies, what are some of your favorite TV shows featuring Martial Arts.

The ones I remember:

Sidekicks
The Master
Green Hornet
Kung Fu
Kung Fu: The Next Generation
Street Justice
Renegade
Cobra
 
I really used to like Martial Law with Sammo Hung, such a shame they had to stop.

But heres my list: Martial Law, Buffy, Xena Warrior Princess, Monkey Magic, Mortal Kombat, and Alias.
 
There aren't really that many on tv anymore but my favorite are:

Green Hornet
Walker Texas Ranger
Martial Law


I think thats about it sadly.
 
Kung Fu
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues (or whatever they called it)
Walker, Texas Ranger
Martial Law
 
I used to love to watch Martial Law.

But really only for Kelly Hu.

:)

I actually thought Sidekicks was a movie starring Chuck Norris.

BTW great movie!
 
Kung Fu the original series.

I would even stretch the original Star Trek into this - stretching the definition to "boldy go where no...." okay you get it. I loved the defendu hand to hand crap

The only reason I don't like Kung-Fu is because David Carradine stars in it.
 
I like the totally unrealistic anime shows as part of a martial arts lineup. *blush*
 
Kung Fu was one of the helpers that got me into MA (along with Bruce Lee Movies and Billy Jack).
Didnt' like the next generation...
I'm old enough to remember Green Hornet
Walker is good (it's still being made I believe)
That's my list. :idunno:

Kung Fu (original series)
Black Sash (only lasted one season, but was not bad)
Black Sash was ok, the drama the scripts but the martial arts was terrible.

I loved Martial Law, too bad they don't re run it anymore like they do with Walker Texas Ranger.
 
BILLY JACK. woo hoo! A cowboy who knows Hapkido,....yes!

How was black sash? it was cancelled, but.....I was working when it was on so I never got to see it.
 
"Sidekicks" was an 80's TV show starring Gil Gerard (Buck Rodgers) and Ernie Reyes Jr. Reyes played a young karate whiz whose grandfather "Sabusan" was unable to care for him. Consequently, Gerard's character, a cop, adopted him. The show followed the exploits of the two as Reyes usually had to bail his adopted father out of trouble.
THAT show was based on a one-time made for TV movie called "The Last Electric Knight". I didn't have to look that info up BTW. Can you tell I watched WAAAAYYYY too much TV as a kid? Even then, I loved martial arts oriented TV shows. Still do, I'm just much more critical.
 
All the ones mentioned are good, but how about a couple for the girls? Charlie's Angels...I think they did some martial arts stuff in the tv show, but I know for sure they did some in the movie version. Then there's also Zena Warrior Princess! Finally, there's Sandy from Spongebob :) the martial arts squirrel. She's the strongest creature in Bikini Bottom! :cool:
 
I can't believe I forgot Walker and Martial Law, I liked both of those also, I also seem to remember one called Raven or something, I think it was about a Ninja and only lasted like 1 season.

I also remember that short lived Sci-Fi show called Time Traxx that featured some martial arts.

Also Mutant X has some good fight scenes.
