They used to do old Sunday afternoon reruns of those movies when I was a kid, but I loved the botched so-called "Confusiusisms" from Charlie. As a little kid they were sayings that made me think.

A&E, I believe had a marathon of all the old Chans about 5 years ago, and I taped them all. I actually still enjoyed them after all this time, now that I'm a grown kid. ;-). I just didn't see the sterotypes when I was a kid, but some of the dialog would be offensive today...agree. Kids aren't really prejudiced...they have to be taught to be that way. But, Charlie Chan movies didn't make me view Asian-Americans in that way. It was the exact opposite, for me.
