Premiered December 23, 1966. The same boxes from episode 12, just showed at different side. That's what I call good props usage! Wikipedia page about series en.wikipedia.o...)
@@BOBNAR96 Van Williams became very good friends with Bruce Lee from their time on the Green Hornet. Mr. Williams came to realize very early on that most people tuned in to see Bruce Lee and as such tried to pressure the writers to include Mr. Lee in more of the storylines.
Van Williams was an incredibly humble and nice man. In an interview he did prior to his passing he said he deeply valued his friendship with the late Bruce Lee and that he wanted to be remembered not for anything he did on stage/books he wrote etc but for being a good father, grandfather, and husband
Sadly, there is NO DVD's of any quality. It hasn't been officially released and all that is available are bootleg CRAP. Don't waste your money on those.
@@Hambone571 True, I also looked into it, nothing worth buying. I don't understand why the studio is sitting on this. They could make a lot of money, selling proper blu ray discs.
"Flight of The Bumblebee" is a Great Tune! I've said it before and I will say it again....I wish that The Green Hornet series had lasted a few more years! That "Green Hornet Movie simply SUCKED!!! Why Hollywood created all of those Batman movies and left out The Green Hornet is just INSANE!!! This is a DC Crime Fighting Duo that SHOULD HAVE BEEN better represented on The Big Screen!!! I saw the "New" Batman movie and I was so unimpressed, I was asleep by the end of the first 24 minutes! And was that thing supposed to be a Batmobile?!!? More like a "RatMobile" to me!!!
Just too bad The Green Hornet lasted just one run of 26 episodes that became a cult classic, while Batman under the same producers and production company lasted 3 corny comedic and campy seasons...
green hornet's show was ,the most underated show of it time,Van William was good actor,but Bruce Lee was in a act class by him self.,and the black beauty was dinomite!
Van Williams was incredible i actually like him more then bruce lee in this series... but Williams was def overshadowed by Lee's kung fu and mysterious nature... western world had never seen anything quite like bruce lee's kung fu at the time.
Van Williams and Bruce Lee rest in peace we've lost 2 good actors over the years of The sixties and the seventies were great when kid Simply around the sixties and seventies great pull factors we have lost them both and that was the great story that was never completed We wish one day that The Green Hornet would return and bring back what we've lost over the years and hold fully then it will be completed TCB 3rd son of Elvis Presley Elvis I am That's the way it is man
Van and Wende were a "super" couple waiting to happen, Bruce was a hunk also, ABC pulled the plug on this show way too soon, forever apart of my 60s childhood..
@@dariowiter3078 "Mediocre ratings" I get that but as a kid back then didn't understand that and wished the show had lasted just alittle while longer..
everyone thought that the Green Hornet would be played like Batman--campy etc not the serious drama it was. Van Williams has said that he was glad that the Green Hornet only lasted one year and the pressure/timelines and work involved in making it was overwhelming for him and Bruce Lee. He said that his friendship with Bruce Lee was forged by their experiences in making the Green Hornet and what they went through together
I bet if they had the power to look at demos back then, they would never have cancelled it. NBC wish they had the demos on Star Trek. They never would have cancelled it either.@@cathleanjohnson675
A timeless classic I wish my Dad was alive to see these. He use to watch the Batman series on tv. Such an under rated series. Thank you for posting all these episodes. Tv today sucks.
I had the pleasure of meeting Van Williams at Comicon in Los Angeles! We talked for over an hour! He was a very wonderful kind and gentle man! Very funny! Dr.Tim Rasico M.D. Ph.D.
Lieutenant Miller people would have been bored with Batman. Batman wasn’t really campy it just had a great sense of humour for the adults that the kids didn’t get until they were adults.
interesting how all the episodes are always made to look like it was done in the dark...never in daylight 😄 I guess all business was done at night and everbody worked the late shift.🤣. Kato most have had mad drivin skills to be able to see in the dark drivin only by the green lights...even the street lights were dark.. got to love it...🙋♂
Britt really is lucky so many of these criminals wanted to double cross the Green Hornet. If someone said 'Yeah sure, partners, cool, i'm all for that!" his plans would really flounder! XD
the action is too fast at 23:04, but i think the sliding bars are opened as with a hinge after britt fries the lock. i had to look back to see where the desk warren placed the bomb was as compared to the one he jumped under as it came time for the explosion. at first i thought he’d gone where the explosive was, but then recalled that that desk was inside the vault! a near escape for frank, which turned into a disaster for his opponent. frank’s realization of the essential quality of this election at 17:24 is classic!
It was a great show, I wish born this time,Van Williams and Bruce Lee were in their hey days! The Green 💚 Hornet!💚😎😂🏰🏰☯️🦚🎉🥳🥳⛓️🤕🔵🌎🌎🌎🍏🔵☮️🌍☯️☯️☯️💖💕💕🍼🎒☀️🎒😊🎉🍏🔵🔵
This discussion has come up on the Green Hornet fan pages on Facebook. The different parties which own this franchise cannot come to agreements about a DVD/Blu-ray release. With the 50th anniversary past and last surviving cast member Van Williams now deceased, hope has all but faded out. I bit the bullet and got a bootleg DVD that was sold on eBay. It is the episodes posted here, apparently recorded from TV. IMHO it is best to have a hard copy as RU-vid might for some reason take these episodes down at any time. They are a bit better if you have a Blu-ray player that plays DVD with enhancements. At least we can have a few scenes of GH and Kato on Blu-ray in the Batman crossover.
Ronald Anders A website called monstersinmotion.com offers the entire series on dvd with the best quality anyone's going to see short of a bluray release.
This is probably the same version that Amazon had for awhile. It might be a bit better than what I got but I'm not going to spend money again. Thanks for the link though. I may find some other good things there.
It would have been so cool to see Kato taking on in hand to hand combat all of Batman's enemies!!! Especially the Joker who always enjoyed choking Robin and making him cry "Help Batman!!!".!!!
Hornet wants them to think that. First he finds out who the criminal mastermind is but doesn't have proof. Then he busts in on his "suspect" as another criminal to partner up, usually demanding something outrageous. The criminal mastermind agrees at the time because he has no choice, but later betrays the Green Hornet. The expected betrayal triggers the war Green Hornet actually wants and always wins.
01:31 Always safety first kids. I don't even remember seatbelts being used in the 70s. 09:36 is that how the US saw New Zealand? The Falklands Island gets better representation on that map.
