Highly Overrated But Still Good

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I may be wrong, but as I recall this was another "summer replacement" series. I don't think it lasted more than a couple of episodes ...There were the straight-laced and exasperated Mr. Takahishi (Mr. T), the brainless white-girl housekeeper (Tina) and the crazy uncle (Uncle Matsu) who did things like throw cherry blossoms in the toilet while reciting Haiku, among other characters. In the tradition of "Ivan the Terrible," it was shot on what looked like a set about 12 feet in size, for about 50 bucks. LOts of racist stereotypes, bad and pretty boring. The 70s were full of such short-lived garbage -- now with Pat Morita gone (a pretty good actor when given appropriate roles), maybe it will be released in a "best of..." DVD!

This show, along with "Pink Lady and Jeff" have got to be two of the worst shows ever to have been produced. Pat Morita was on a high from being "Arnold" on "Happy Days" and was given this series. The stories were feeble and the direction amateurish. I remember it was canceled after this one ridiculous episode which played like a cartoon - having Mr. Takahashi blast off through the roof of his place in some sort of contraption. It hold a place in my heart as being the dumbest thing I can remember from my youth. A real goof, funny to watch because it was such junk, but then it wore off.
