My first favorite show. Don't know if it was that big, black Imperial, the martial arts, the cool music or Wende Wagner that put the hook in me.

Probably Wende.

All great selling points. I think the Black Beauty would easily take out the '66 Batmobile in a fair fight.

The last two episodes (a two parter) feature Wende in a prominent way. She was a serious athlete as well as a likable actress.

Last year my kids and I watched the whole series. Lighting was poor on the show, and “the city” had the most inept police force I had ever seen, ALWAYS a day late, worse than Chief O’Hara.

I wonder how Kato jiggered BOTH Imperials’ fluid to remain stable upside down. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just get a bigger garage? But it was cool.

I hardly watched the show, but that theme song played by Al Hirt remains my favorite TV theme ever.

A few years ago I ate breakfast at a restaurant in Ocean City, MD. Among the decor was old licensed lunch boxes along the upper lip near the ceiling , including a Green Hornet lunch pail. I remember (vaguely) watching TV's Hornet (my late stepdad remembered the radio version).

TV's GH was from the same company that produced Batman and GH and Kato guest starred on Batman one week (was it with Roddy McDowall as Bookworm)?

Theme song seems to be a jazzed up version of Flight of the Bumble Bee.

We must be about the same age ^_^ ...It was as campy if not more so than Batman lol , but I dug it at the time . Maybe I’ll check out one episode just for the heck of it . Most of what I watch ( here in Japan where I never watch regular TV ) is 50’s/60’s TV shows and movies via Youtube and DVD after dinner/bath and before slumber .

One of the most interesting things about the Green Hornet show was the drone that came out of the back of his car. They were predicting this technology which was decades in the future.

I have had this album since I was a kid. Digitized a fresh copy of the album that I found on eBay, and I enjoy it on my iPod today.

Anyone remember "Green Hornet bubble gum with the collector cards (that competed for space in our top-lid opening school desks with Superman bubble gum cards, Batman cards, Ugly Stickers and ... schoolwork)?

FReegards!

You notice the bad guy in the first video works for Al Trump? And then you hear the name Trump a few times.

Nah, no coincidence! :)

That looks like a good album. I’ve always been partial to trumpet music.
