1. I loved that series.

Don't think I missed an episode. I'd like to see the series again. RIP to David Carradine.

2. 5 women on that list

It gives you an idea of how male dominated the tv industry was back in 1970s.

[Kaleva]

3. Kwai Chang Caine fighting women would be a no-no back then.

The other option is that he's defending a woman by fighting men.

[Sanity Claws]

4. Fighting women would not be a good look

But surely women could be made part of a story line other than as a damsel in distress.
Lack of imagination.

[Kaleva]

5. Probably could in a supporting role

The draw of the show was the character Kwai Chang Caine displaying his martial arts skills so unless there was a damsel in distress, a female wouldn't be part of the main story.

6. Should have watched. Any show with Slim Pickens and Barbara Hershey had to be good.

7. Slim Pickens gets schooled in this 3 minute clip

[Kaleva]

8. Here's a clip from the show with a very young Don Johnson
