Frank, I used to watch those episodes live when I was a young teenager. It was very interesting that a man like Kwai Chang Caine could gain so much wisdom while remaining so calm, yet when he was forced, he was able to kick the living sh!t out of a bunch of bad cowboys with nothing but his bare feet and fists. And he was getting the intimacy of the ladies in some of the series stories!
The segments they have with the 2 teachers and the young Caine are indeed filled with much life lessons. I keep expecting the blind guy to tell the young Caine what a 180 is.
