Network guy: "What's the premise?"

Writer: "Well, the show is about deconstructing modern america's myths about itself, by turning the established
Western format upside down and showing 1880s America through the eyes of a half-American, half-Chinese Ch'an
Buddhist monk, who often communes with the spirit of his beloved dead teacher."

I hear rumors that the original creator (Howard Spielmann) is trying to get a "reboot" series back on the air.
