Gung Ho (TV series)


Gung Ho is an American sitcom based on the 1986 film of the same name. The series aired for one season on ABC from December 5, 1986, to February 9, 1987.

Synopsis

Just like in the movie, the TV series follows the exploits of Hunt Stevenson, a laid-back American employee liaison of a Japanese car company in the fictional city of Hadleyville, Pennsylvania. Much of the humor arises from the abounding clashes between Hunt and the new Japanese plant manager, Kaz Kazuhiro while looking for ways to bridge the culture gap between one another.

Cast

Besides Watanabe, many of the other Japanese actors from the movie also reprised their roles for the series. Clint Howard was the only Caucasian actor from the film also to appear in the TV series.
