Sidekicks (TV series)

Sergeant Jake Rizzo (Gil Gerard) is chosen by Sabasan as tutor of his grandson Ernie Lee (Ernie Reyes, Jr.), the last heir of an ancient clan of special martial artists and a highly trained karate fighter. Rizzo becomes Ernie's foster father. Ernie often finds himself in dangerous situations, such as when bullies at school or toughs on the streets of Los Angeles threaten him or his friends. Other times, his adoptive father needs help when criminals which he has captured try to escape or try to harm him. With Ernie's quick moves, unique powerful skills and the clever advice of his deceased grandfather, he overcomes these difficulties and triumphs. == Characters ==

• Ernie Lee (Ernie Reyes Jr.) – the Last Electric Knight and the main character of the series; an adept in martial arts • Sergeant Jake Rizzo (Gil Gerard) – Ernie's adoptive father; a police officer • Patricia Blake (Nancy Stafford) – Ernie's social worker and Rizzo's love interest • Sabasan (Keye Luke) – Ernie's deceased grandfather, who appears through the series in short flashbacks. As Ernie is faced with new dilemmas in each episode, he often meditates in order to reach the appropriate solution. In a similar fashion to Luke's role as Master Po in the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, Ernie recalls advice previously given to him by Sabasan which helps him in the present. • Capt. Blanks (Vinny Argiro) – commanding officer at Rizzo's police station • Det. R.T. Mooney (Frank Bonner) – Sgt. Rizzo's partner ==Episode list==
