October 14, 1972 –
The TV-series Kung Fu, starring David Carridine, debuted on ABC-TV on this date.
According to Bruce Lee’s widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, Lee originated the concept, and was intended to star in the series, but David Carradine was cast because the network felt the American audience was not ready for an Asian actor as the lead, and Lee received no credit for his concept (this was dramatized in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story). However, according to the producers, although Lee was consulted and was considered for the role, they created the concept and Carradine was always their first choice.
