Editing Charlie Chan (section)

=== Television adaptations ===
* In 1956–57, ''[[The New Adventures of Charlie Chan]]'', starring [[J. Carrol Naish]] in the title role, were made independently for TV syndication in 39 episodes, by [[Television Programs of America]]. The series was filmed in England.<ref>Mitchell (1999), 237.</ref> In this series, Chan is based in London rather than the United States. Ratings were poor, and the series was canceled.<ref>Mitchell (1999), 238.</ref>
* In the 1960s, [[Joey Forman]] played an obvious parody of Chan named "Harry Hoo" in two episodes of ''[[Get Smart]]''.
* In the 1970s, [[Hanna-Barbera]] produced an [[animated series]] called ''[[The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan]]''. [[Keye Luke]], who had played Chan's son Lee in many Chan films of the 1930s and late '40s, lent his voice to Charlie, employing a much-expanded vocabulary; Luke thus became the first actual Chinese person to portray Chan on screen. (The title character bears some resemblance to the Warner Oland depiction of Charlie Chan.) The series focused on Chan's children, played initially by East Asian-American child actors before being recast, due to concerns that younger viewers would not understand the accented voices.  Leslie Kumamota voiced Chan's daughter Anne, before being replaced by [[Jodie Foster]].<ref>Mitchell (1999), 240.</ref>
* ''[[The Return of Charlie Chan]]'', a television film starring [[Ross Martin]] as Chan, was made in 1971 but did not air until 1979.
