They featured many old-school KF stars, like Leung Kar-Yan, Meng Fei, Hsia Kuang-Li, Phillip Ko Fei, Chin Siu-Ho, Hwang Jang Lee, Jack Long, Chiang Sheng, Chu Ko, Li Yi-Min, Wong Tao, etc. I wasn't obsessed with watching them, but would catch them from time to time when I wasn't doing other things.
Sometimes I would see TVB serials, on my visa trips to Hong Kong, or in Taiwanese restaurants playing TVB videos on their TVs. I saw one in HK that had Gordon Liu, and another one with Bruce Leung in it. The action choreography of the HK shows was almost as good as their movies at the time, and much better than the Taiwanese serials.
