Great show, guys. Tim, you were right about the high number of characters dying on 1960s TV series; think of Star Trek --far beyond the old joke about all of the "redshirts" dying, a large number of guest characters met their end in the Final Frontier. On Batman --specifically "Better...

I've tried to find the answer to this through the search function of the forum, can't find it mentioned? Or maybe I have not tried hard enough?! :lol: I have found this by doing a simple search on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Green-Hornet-Complete-Spanish-Release/dp/B0776C138S/ref=sr_1_3?crid=M2...

My Japanese "Mediacom Toy Corporation" Kato & the Green Hornet turned out to be 9" tall each, a little taller than expected (and advertised on eBay). Cannibalising a retro Mego-style Captain Pike (from "Star Trek"), I was able to make Kato more in scale with FTC's 8&quo...

Interesting show, Scott (and the brothers still trying to get over living through season three)! Although the '66 series is on blu ray, there is one last, major part of the series left for fans to discuss....you guessed it--the TV soundtrack. I've heard there are rights issues involved with the musi...

Jim, great point about Lisa as portrayed by Diane McBain; she was completely confident, sly and just as much into being on the wrong side of the law as the Mad Hatter. She--like Blaze and Limpet go some way in breaking the "poor, deluded girl" narrative of season one's female characters/mo...

To anyone who has watched both shows, which one handled the half-hour format better? cheers The Green Hornet is far better in that regard, as the show worked within its half-hour format, and did not leave plot points loose or strung out with the expectation of a cliffhanger / resolution second epis...

Yeah, all the signs of a flash-in-the-pan series. That is an incredible drop. Dozier's (or Semple's) initial instincts may have been correct, but aggressively sinking the show in the deep waters of more parody and celebrity guests he assumed everyone found appealing was just setting the expected bur...

These representations of women drivers are comedy, true, and sometimes they flip the stereotypical hierarchy (viz. BRADY V. BRADY). My point is that such representations, even played for “pure” comedy, depend on a very recognizable trope of the “Bad Lady Driver” that saturated US mass culture (part...

Interesting episode, and thanks to guest Nancy Northcott. Nancy said (of Burt) "luckily, we all outgrow crushes." Welllll, she would have been safe with Burt, after all, he was not the adult who kissed a minor guest star like a certain series lead did with Donna "Suzie" Loren, wh...

So, I followed an ad on Facebook because I wasn't aware of this and it looked nice. It *does* actually look like a good likeness (rare with Batman '66 merchandise), On that point, it would be interesting for someone with time and resources to rate all of the past decade or so of '66 character-based...

What would you like to see, a movie based on the radio show or the tv show? Also, would you want it to be a period piece, or have it placed in modern day? I think either way, modern day or period, I would like to see it done in a sufficiently serious yet stylised fashion that creates a suitable con...

Reading period reports really does lend support to the long-lived idea that the public fascination with the '66 series faded quickly--even before the movie's underwhelming performance. It did not help that Dozier relied on gimmicks such as "celebrity" guests instead of working to make the ...

The highest ranked second season episode I have date for is Batman's Anniversary. 20.7 and 34.9 share. Perhaps it was a curiosity factor to see the new Riddler. If true, then a 50-year bit of perception (meaning no one liked Astin as the Riddler / it was a "disaster") sold as fact has bee...

Good point, Ben. Its sort of a perfect bookend to The Green Hornet as a film property, because the film--whether it works or not--could be the last live-action GH production for some time, if ever again. Unlike the 30s/40s, or even the 60s, when audiences or superhero fans were more open to this kin...

Absolutely true and i wish I had been able to attend the event, too.
