In fairness, I think it’s supposed to be unrealistic and corny, like most 80s movies.

They've kept it quiet, but I can't imagine they'd end Season 2 like they did and not bring her back.

But season 1 wasn't.

Season 2 was what I expected when I started watching season 1. But S1 was genuinely good.

Which is to say they should probably pull the plug on this thing after season 3.

I don’t think that good and unrealistic and corny are mutually exclusive. I thought season 1 had a ton of corniness to it and that is ok! It’s also extremely unrealistic, just like the source material, and that’s ok too. Maybe they turned it up a notch, but season 1 was far from some gritty, realistic slice of life.

Edit: just for clarity, I’m not going to try and argue that season 2 was as good as season 1, it wasn’t, but I don’t think it was as awful as you are making it out to be. I think season 1 just came out of left field and its uniqueness probably elevates more than may be justified.

Hi thought overall season 2 was good. Other than the school fight that jumped the shark and turning Kreese into a cartoon villain.

I'm glad LaRussos daughter isn't actually like 16 cuz she is gorgeous. Turns out shes 24.

S1 was great. especially S1E1. S2 was good. The farther the story delves into teenage karate fighters, the worse it gets. would any teenager take karate nowadays? I think they would gravitate towards J.J. MT or Krav Maga. I will probably watch S3 even though my karate itch was totally scratched by S1

Yeah, she is thiiiiick.

Damn, the season 2 ending really jumped the shark and had the worst choreography in the whole show. I was telling my wife that the show felt very visceral and well done with the fight scenes like 30 seconds before the brawl went down. I felt pretty stupid right after that.

Ralph Macchio (Daniel) was the same way. He was 23 playing a 16/17 year old. William Zabka (Johnny) was about 19 at that time. Macchio is 58 and Zabka will be 55 next month. They both look like they're in their mid-forties.

Zabka is like a less nerdy Owen Wilson. He and Macchio carry this show, and I would expect Zabka to show up in other places.

IMO Daniel's wife (Courtney Henggeler) is far hotter than the daughter.

She also played Sheldon's sister on Big Bang Theory.

Yummy.
[Reply]

Yeah she is really hot and has perfect comedic timing.
[Reply]

The daughter's incredibly average looking. I suspect (hope) that was the plan. Because even with professional makeup, etc... I don't really see anything attractive about her.

Mom, OTOH - yeah, that works really nicely.

I think this series is epic. That Johnny (Zabka) character and I are 2 peas in a pod as far as attitude. At work the young guys were always shocked at my not so politically correct comments and 1980`s persona. I look forward to season 3.

The daughter's cute, but not really pretty.
