I was in pre school when this show aired. For the longest time i only was able to see the Batman green hornet cross over and had vague memmorise of the green hornet show. Now thanks to utube i can watch the episode s.
William Dozier told ABC that he would not agree to continue the Green Hornet for a second season unless it was expanded to a full hour. ABC said no due to the costs and the fact the ratings weren't that great in the first year. Van Williams also said that he wanted a full hour because it would help develop the episodes more thoroughly and could expand the relationship between Britt Reid and Miss Case.
The encounter with the Fake Green Hornet did not end in hand to hand combat. I was very disappointed!!! In the episode where the bad guy ambushed Kato and tossed him into a garbage can Kato was able to fight and defeat him at the end. This time the Fake Green Hornet ambushed Brit and kicked him in the face to win that fight. At the end it was Kato's driving skills vs the Fake Green Hornet's driving skills. Kato has many years of experience driving Black Beauty and has mastered "handling" her. Kato made a very smooth left turn and Black Beauty remained totally stable. When the Fake Green Hornet attempted to perform the same maneuver he failed. He turned too sharp and too fast as a result his Black Beauty became totally unstable and flipped over!!!! So really it was Kato who won this fight extremely decisively!!! What else is new!!!! Another day at the office for Kato!!!! Lol!!!
It makes it an inspiring show ,the great music score ..it's a little cheesy ,but nothing like idiotic 60 's "Batman " ,with Adam West..also amazing is the fact my mother's ashes are scattered in that exact section of Malibu !!👼😇❤⌚
🤣 .. Y’all, please find me a very good & well-experience psychiatrist, lol. .. seriously though. I fell in love with all 3 guys… Van, Britt & TGH when the show aired in the 60s. - Now thanks to the wonderful person who has provides all of these great episodes to watch here, I am a nut again over Van. I told my best friend if there had been a law against a man who looked as gorgeous as Van did, he would had gotten 5 life sentences… she cracked UP laughing 😆. - I told her I have seriously lost my mind because who not only renews a mad 55-year crush on a man who not only never even knew that I exist, but was married before I was born AND has passed away over 5 years ago as an elderly man…. SMH!!! 😂… Prayers please, haaa ha haaa!! LBVS.. 😊🙏🏽
But then again, we got 26 episodes of Bruce Lee. After he died, for us who were born long after Bruce died, I can't tell you how much of an unbelievable jackpot it was to discover this series.
Me too, I used come in metro Detroit on channel 20 in the 1970s after batman but never watch it, linda gaye Scott the gold outfit lady invaders from outer space, she played Riddler sidekick on batman episode, she was gorgeous with truckload of makeup and purple outfits on
I really wish Adam West had made an appearance as Bruce Wayne/Batman on this show. I think the writers could have played Batman straight, something that was done during a couple of episodes during that show's first season.
That's what is magnificent looking back ..I wasn't even 9 or 10 ,but although a little campy ,this show was kind of sinister and edgy ..there are almost as many deaths as " Hawaii Five O " ,back then version..I think the music score drove the more adult (thank God!) Action
But... If Simon had had a duplicate Black Beauty made just for the masquerade party, it wouldn't have had real weapons. So Sabrina was lying... but then she wouldn't have had any reason to want him killed. Only his niece... and why was Dan...? Oh well.
don't look into so much? its just a t.v show from the 60's. Actually, if you want to get technical, in some episodes they show the black beauty parked up-side down hidden in the secret garage, if this were true the car would never start because all the fluids like gas and other stuff would come pouring out all over the car!!!! but, like I said its just a show from the 60's.
For those who may have missed it in episode 18 part one, you get an early Robert Crane just before Neal is shot - no speaking, just an appearance. I love these trips down memory lane with these classics. Thanks for these great uploads.
If Mike doesn't see what Britt sees in that restaurant, he's gotta be gay.... I have really grown to like this series. I remember it playing in reruns on a small UHF station in the late 80s. Fun to see them again and better appreciate the stories.
I was wondering that myself. I don't think there's been mention of Mike's family or relationships before this episode so I think at this point it was left open whether he was gay or just disinterested in the company of others all this time.
@@blazerocker1734 never a thought that he was really gay. It wasn't hinted at, or left ambiguous. It wasn't a thing in those days on TV. Mike was presented as a dedicated reporter whose first, last, and only interest was reporting. He wasn't fleshed out more than that.
The series really has hit it's stride with this 2nd two part episode! Remember, NBC also tried to cancel Star Trek the same year, also after the first season.
@@marinodomino1376 Yes, it was. The Green Hornet and Kato appeared in an episode of Batman in a cross-over, and also in another episode as a window gag.
jerkfudgewater147 - My guess would be that he'd have started his own chain of clubs called The Vampire Lounge and then his parents would be rolling in their graves.
Look,dispite a name change in PI and Asia,the focus of the show has ALWAYS been the Green Hornet.Even in the 1940s serial,it was the Green Hornet.Look,we all like Kato,but like Robin in Batman,the focus was always Batman.Without the Hornet,Kato is a never to be.
green hornet is hero of city fight with some guard are like cop of office buildings of city 11'00 pm at night time right time and got them at 6;59 to 7;12.
I still don't understand the ending. It appears that Britt Reid telephoned Melissa Neal while he was having lunch with Sabrina Bradley, but what could he have told her that would have made Dan Scully play the fake Green Hornet again? And why have Sabrina hold Melissa at gunpoint to prevent her from meeting Reid when he called at her home? None of this was explained.
Okay, people. I asked this question as a 6 year old kid watching the show first run and not even my parents answered it. So 50+ years later I ask again: What would happen if the Green Hornet actually LOST??? What would happen if the bad guy actually WON??? I’m still waiting for my answer.
It'd be business as usual. This is a city without the street crime but held by syndicates and gangs. The Green Hornet 'collects' protection money from his quarter of the city: of course he doesn't actually charge them or take their money. The question really should be: If the Green Hornet went bad, how long before he owned everything.
Cringe-worthy writing. Britt Reid ogling girls in weird outfits--especially girls dressed as ponies--ewwww. Kato (Bruce Lee) is the real star of this series and is light-years more enjoyable to watch then anyone else on this show.
I was in pre school when this show aired. For the longest time i only was able to see the Batman green hornet cross over and had vague memmorise of the green hornet show. Now thanks to utube i can watch the episode s.
The hour long episodes were the best. More time for story development.

Also on this same day.....January 27, 1967: Astronauts Grissom, White and Chaffee killed in Apollo 1 fire.
God I remember that.
Grissom hung a lemon 🍋 on the capsule,, he new it was no good. Paid a high price for not going along with the rest of the masons in NASA
Bless them in Heaven. Heroes
I was 14 and I can’t remember it but I just turned 70 !
I love Billy May's music for this show, it's so cool.
Thanks for uploading. Watching from European Union.

Goooooo KATO
Scully would've stood NO CHANCE in a one on one with the GH ... ESPECIALLY KATO.
The music by Billy May is outstanding. The music is conducted by Lionel Newman.
There's just something about this era of soundtrack music that simply cannot be surpassed or repeated.

I was only 7 years old when this Series premiere
This is a fun enjoyable series and we should have gotten more then one season .
But then again, we got 26 episodes of Bruce Lee.
After he died, for us who were born long after Bruce died, I can't tell you how much of an unbelievable jackpot it was to discover this series.
Ya it would great if they continued them successfully
This is a great show! I've just recently become a big fan of it.
Me too, I used come in metro Detroit on channel 20 in the 1970s after batman but never watch it, linda gaye Scott the gold outfit lady invaders from outer space, she played Riddler sidekick on batman episode, she was gorgeous with truckload of makeup and purple outfits on
Green hornet used come after batman 1966 rerun in the 1970s channel 20
I really wish Adam West had made an appearance as Bruce Wayne/Batman on this show. I think the writers could have played Batman straight, something that was done during a couple of episodes during that show's first season.

I don't believe so.Adam west got to cocky along with burt ward.
Guest apperarence by adam west ; linda gaye scott made an guest apperance on both tv show
This show should have been titled, "The Green Hornet vs. The Green Hornet."
Or Hornet vs Hornet.
I watched this TV show when i was a kid great tv show
When Enter the Dragon came out years later, did you recognize that it was Kato?
Always, after watching a Green Hornet TV episode, I want to play Freedom Force.
How can they not tell the voice of Britt Reid and the Green Hornet are the same person?
A lot of recognition is context.
But... If Simon had had a duplicate Black Beauty made just for the masquerade party, it wouldn't have had real weapons. So Sabrina was lying... but then she wouldn't have had any reason to want him killed. Only his niece... and why was Dan...? Oh well.

Green Hornet: Episode 18.
Season 1. Episode 18. "Corpse of the Year" (Part 2).
Tuesday, February 14 - 2023.
I prefer batman 1966 because it's sometimes hard to take the special effects serious and because it has more action but this is an amazing show
If Mike doesn't see what Britt sees in that restaurant, he's gotta be gay....

Great green honet episodes
This was an ABC show ..wasn't it ? I remember watching before 1966 fall ..maybe it was a preview during the Batman reruns ?
@@marinodomino1376 Yes, it was. The Green Hornet and Kato appeared in an episode of Batman in a cross-over, and also in another episode as a window gag.
I love this show but the ratings were terrible. However if a cable show had the number of viewers this show had it would be a huge hit.
This show was berter than batman 1966 ; it alot more real life stuff
Inside the car it's night out side the car it's day
I think the studio heads were hoping that nobody had a TV of good enough quality to allow them to notice that.
THESE GUYS LOOK LIKE BROTHERS.
Watching Bruce Lee work!!
Dueling rolling arsinal black beauty's!!!!
Theres talk that the Green Hornet is going to be revived as an animated show. I hope it happens.
WHAT IF batman was less super and loved stripers 🤣
god i enjoy this show
You knocked it out of the park.
jerkfudgewater147 - My guess would be that he'd have started his own chain of clubs called The Vampire Lounge and then his parents would be rolling in their graves.
fun shows that make politically correct grinches squirm
That ending. 😆
Lloyd Gough stole the scene as Mike Axeford.
How this show didn't get another season, or at least a TV movie, is just baffling.
One TREASURE.
13:26 Uh... Ghostbusters?
So, with a smirk on his face, Dan Scully made a sharp turn, causing his duplicate Black Beauty to burst into flames?
Amen! I've been driving nearly 50 years and have never seen a car burst into flames from a sudden turn. But then I'm not The Green Hornet.
Heh heh…..those dial phones
Wow, we had to wait till pt 2 to see Kato in action
+Jerry Carney it called The Green Hornet,not the Kato Show
Not in the Phillipines and parts of Asia.
Look,dispite a name change in PI and Asia,the focus of the show has ALWAYS been the Green Hornet.Even in the 1940s serial,it was the Green Hornet.Look,we all like Kato,but like Robin in Batman,the focus was always Batman.Without the Hornet,Kato is a never to be.
Michael Easterwood I'm just saying what fans in these places were saying at the time.
Jerry Carney LOL.
green hornet is hero of city fight with some guard are like cop of office buildings of city 11'00 pm at night time right time and got them at 6;59 to 7;12.
I have the same look on my face as in the picture at 0:12!
I still don't understand the ending. It appears that Britt Reid telephoned Melissa Neal while he was having lunch with Sabrina Bradley, but what could he have told her that would have made Dan Scully play the fake Green Hornet again? And why have Sabrina hold Melissa at gunpoint to prevent her from meeting Reid when he called at her home? None of this was explained.
where can u find bringing the telephone on the table?
As shown at 13:50 , that was once a very common practice at finer restaurants and involved rather long telephone cords.
Is it me or is Mike self envolved
💜
👊 < 🔫
Master's maxim ... ...
In some seance you can't tell which black beauty is the real one.
You know Axford, for a reporter you have a very lousy sense of Observation!
Like some reporters of today.

U can't find part 2 on most BS

Fake Bruce Lee in this picture 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 From Demetric 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
@ 21:40 , . . . Mike absolutely has to be gay! If the food is bad, only one other reason there is to come.
Yeah really, lol!!!! check out Reed, he's eye-ballin' them babes and even Lenore is enjoying the scene; makes you think about that, huh? ;-)
Cringe-worthy writing. Britt Reid ogling girls in weird outfits--especially girls dressed as ponies--ewwww. Kato (Bruce Lee) is the real star of this series and is light-years more enjoyable to watch then anyone else on this show.
