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.

[1] Just like in the movie, the TV series follows the exploits of Hunt Stevenson (here, played by Scott Bakula as opposed to Michael Keaton in the movie), a laid-back American employee liaison of a Japanese car company (Assan Motors) 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 (Gedde Watanabe, reprising his role from the movie) while looking for ways to bridge the culture gap between one another.

Besides Watanabe, many of the other Japanese actors from the movie also reprised their roles for the series.
