One thing to note: this is the one time that The Green Hornet never tried to muscle in on the operation. This time it was personal. So while these episodes were a step down from what we're used to, at least they had that going for them.

As a lot of people here are saying this was a sort of 'testing the water' story and if the series had continued onto its second series it would probably have been in a more fantastic and 'comic book' direction like this, more on the wavelength of the Batman series. As it is it is a curse and a blessing. Curse in that the show was cancelled and remains always in the shadow of Batman in popular culture and awareness but a blessing in that the series at least maintained its dignity and was not remembered as being too outlandish or ridiculous (like this is clearly)

This TV series,although short lived,was part of that vast and creative area of 20th Century Fox Television,back in the height of its success with ABC's "BATMAN" series, and CBS's "LOST IN SPACE" series-this was the perfect arrangement for superior productions,and "THE GREEN HORNET" never failed to disappoint,although ABC's faith was less then optomistic! the lovely young lady,who shot the electrical bolts at Kato in Pt.1 of "Invasion From Outer Space",was Linda Gaye Scott,who later that same year,guest starred,along with a pre "HILL STREET BLUES" Daniel J Travanti,as a bunch of misfit space hippies(?) in "Colision of The Planets" episode of "LOST IN SPACE",another enjoyable romp from 1960s TV!

Van Williams said that the producers were now in a panic over the show by this point because it wasn't garnering the strong ratings like its sister series Batman. So they tried this over-the-top episode to see if they could make the GH show more spectacular by having larger-than-life villains similar to the ones Batman and James Bond faced. Van wasn't pleased and stated he would have disliked this direction for the show. Larry D. Mann who plays the mad scientist Dr. Mabuse also was the voice for Yukon Corneilus in the classic stop-motion animated TV holiday classic "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer."

@mikedoran9851 Жыл бұрын

What Really Happened: ABC had already decided to cancel Green Hornet; Dozier had to fill out the string to meet the contract, and brought in Shpetner to just put anything on film. What Dozier really wanted all along was a serious, one-hour show, to air at a later time slot; that's why he scheduled so many two-part shows. Late in the season, Dozier wrote a long memo to the ABC brass, requesting exactly this procedure ( a recent book about the series reprints the memo in its entirety).

This episode was to try and catch the camp crowd that was following Batman at the same time. The Green Hornet was originally shot as straight with no camp and gangsters and hit men getting killed. Sorry it was a little to violent for kids back in 66. ABC had no faith in the legs for this show and wanted more campy crap like in Batman. Bruce Lee was all business no camp. So if camp is what your looking for in this series look somewhere else.

"The Green Hornet" was canceled for the next season at the last minute. This silly episode with space aliens probably sealed its fate. Most of the episodes were played seriously compared to "Batman". William Dozier was producer and narrator for "Batman" and "The Green Hornet". Adults and kids could enjoy "Batman" -- adults for laughs and kids for the action. "The Green Hornet" did not attract many adults, and since the show aired on Friday night, it had little chance to attract what small adult audience who might watch. Van Williams said the show would have greatly improved if it were expanded to an hour.

@AllRequired 8 жыл бұрын

+Tony Williams Word also was that Dozier felt he had gone too far in the opposite direction. He was looking to strike some sort of balance between the silly camp and the straight seriousness of his respective entries. The Dick Tracy pilot was his proposed solution. Unfortunately, he made three significant misfires: he didn't use a highly established villain (considering the huge rogues' gallery Tracy dealt with); it took far too long to introduce the main character; and the description of the coming episode, which showed only Tracy's likeness in a Dragnet-like shot, *followed* the outro (it's on Dailymotion). Still, that pilot fared far far better than his proposal for Wonder Woman (only a screen test).

@kwebster62 9 ай бұрын

Yep. From a fandom site "Green Hornet and Kato first made a cameo appearance in "The Spell of Tut", appearing in the window of a building that Batman and Robin are scaling. Batman and Green Hornet appear to know each other, and introduce their sidekicks to one another. Later in the season, they appear in the (Batman) two-parter "A Piece of the Action" and "Batman's Satisfaction" in a team-up and square-off." "In an in-joke cameo on Batman, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson watch their favorite television show, The Green Hornet, while on The Green Hornet Britt Reid and Kato watch their favorite show, Batman." I don't think Batman and Robin had a guest appearance on the Green Hornet show though.
