This is super unstructured, watch whatever episode yer at drop some toots (CW if it's spoiler-ish) and just connect with other folks enjoying some weird funny, kung fu adventure.

Is this anything to do with the Buddhist Monkey stories that were turned into a TV show?

It is indeed! Another series riffing off of the Journey to the West Chinese classic. Very silly this one though. Not sure what the one from the 70's was like.

A remake of the Monkey king's journey sounds cool! I'm looking for clips on YouTube.

The 70s/80s version of Monkey is quite silly too. Complicated by being a Japanese made show set in China and dubbed into English. It gets rerun occasionally on UK television.

Haha everything about that sounds awesome! Cross cultural mash up!

If anybody has links to the weird 70's/80's version on internet archive or youtube or whatever, drop 'em here, I would definitely watch that.
