- Here's the complete broadcast (except for part of the last break that got snipped) of a first-run episode from a short-lived series called The Master, "The Good, the Bad, and the Priceless" (S01E08), as broadcast over WMAQ Channel 5.
This program - inspired by a host of movies including "Revenge of the Ninja" - starred Lee Van Cleef (the "King of Spaghetti Westerns") as John Peter McAllister, an aging American ninja master in search of his daughter, Timothy Van Patten as his apprentice Max Keller, and Tara Buckman as Cat Sinclair. (Though Sho Kosugi, who played Okasa, was a regular, he was only shown here in the opening titles.) In this installment (whose title was a play on "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" [1968] in which Mr. Van Cleef had co-starred), John, Max and Cat go to New York to find the former's daughter, only to come across an imposter (a pre-Northern Exposure Janine Turner). Also featuring (in alphabetical order) Colby Chester, Oliver Clark, Johnny Seven, and special guest star George Maharis (formerly of Route 66).
(Typesetting Note: Show title and credits are set in Studio Bold, a font previously used on shows such as Petticoat Junction and I Dream of Jeannie.)

I remember this broadcast! I was 9 years old and turned in with my family.
I remember this show!! Very short lived!!
Thanks for getting the proper air date.
A bit of television trivia. NBC tred to save production cost by filming this show and the The A-Team in the same locations. This is why the van they're in looks just like the van from the A-Team.
When the crew from The A-Team was done shooting, they redress the set and filmed The Master.
How would this work? The two shows were produced by two completely different companies.
@@andyrose5616 I'm curious about that also. Did NBC want the production companies to work together to save money? I don't know how all that works, unfortunately.
Thanks MST3K!😂
Thisis on Tubi for anyone who loves this show

MASTER NINJA THEME SONG!
Master Ninja III
@@Foxonian MST3K actually considered running another volume of Master Ninja. This program would have been the second half of Master Ninja IV.
'The tranquility of post-war Japan?" :)
My lone memory of this show is Lee Van Cleef using the word "juggernaut" in one episode.
Nice!
I wouldn't be surprised if the complete series of this got re-released on DVD and Blu-Ray (that's right, it is previously released by Kino Lorber Studio Classics) by Paramount, and due to their habit of replacing original themes with something else, used the "Master Ninja Theme Song" by MST3K!
❤❤❤
"Hi. I'm Max Skeller..."

Janine was so beautiful. She knows The Earth is Flat and Globalism is Done.Hyperborea may exist at Magnetic North directly under Polaris as well as other lands and suns beyond the ice wall. Much to Explore.
15:38 - Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance (1983) brought me here.
All right now, who's the athlete in that Diet Coke commercial? The other six were laid out clear in the description . . .
I think it's football player and Super Bowl MVP Marcus Allen (number 32 for the Los Angeles Raiders.)
@@phantom6226 - Anybody else missed? I, for one, wonder about the Miss America on this . . . notice the description says one or the other . . .
@@wmbrown6 The basketball player is Julius Irving. Miss America at the time of this broadcast was Vanessa Williams. The woman interviewing the baseball player is Jayne Kennedy.
@@phantom6226 - Seems that leaves the guy in the leather jacket then (from "Grease 2," I presume?).
@@wmbrown6 Would that be Adrian Zmed? Zmed was also on T.J Hooker, produced by Columbia Pictures Television, which at the time was "A Unit of the Coca-Cola Company".
GAWD, that horrible dawn of sugar-free soda. Disgusting.
Looking at the screencap, I wish NBC did not do away with that logo. They should have kept it.
Why did I feel like the show belonged on ABC instead? It had a feel for that network instead.
