Came across the other night-When Green Hornet was first introduced he was thought maybe to be a bad guy. Captured a screen shot of Batman and Green Hornet and Robin and Kato going at it. Edward G. Robinson was in this also. My god was it bad to watch but back then I bet it was the Bees knees.
Well, I really don't think it was intended for Prime Time TV for the great masses, but if you were 5 years old in the late 60s or early 70s, this was second only to the Superman and Lone Ranger re-runs of the 50s. Of course, this was long before Pokebutt and Transformgenders... Way, way back when it was
still acceptable to present traditional moral standards and positive behavior.
