According to interviews with Chuck Norris & Bruce´s widow - Linda Lee Caldwell in 2002
Bruce Lee was screwed out of the "Kungfu TV show" because it was Bruce Lee's idea to make this show so the producers felt that the american producers wasn't ready for an asian actor. Does it occur to yeah that Bruce Lee had another TV show called the green hornet it was a american TV show. So after Bruce Lee got stiff for this project producers went out and got David Carradine he can't even fight really, he doesn't know anything about Kung Fu.
what do you think of that ?

True // They Cheated Bruce Out Of Doing The Tv Show Kung Fu
1971 - December 7 (Age 31): Hong Kong - Bruce receives telegram, notifying him that he had not been chosen for the part in the upcoming series, The Warrior. This series was later released as Kung-Fu, staring David Carradine, who doesn't know anything about martial arts. (The show aired as ABC-TVs Movie of the Week on February 21, 1972.)

actual a racist determination. A chinese language individual, or a individual of the different shade than white, could no longer be a lead in a tutor in the U.S. He replaced into Kato in "the fairway Hornet", yet in basic terms because of the fact it wasn't the lead. i think that the shortcoming of a genuine kung fu megastar allowed the fulfillment of such martial arts shams as Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme. right this moment, we are fortunate to have Jackie Chan and Jet Li to lift the prevalent of kung fu in U.S. video clips.
