The Tone of the Show

TGH was played seriously & did not copy the Batman TV series camp style at all in that regard.That is one of the reasons why fans such as myself continue to love TGH to this day.There are many positive aspects to TGH. The show was well cast & I liked all of them.Bruce Lee,as Kato,is stunning to watch in action with his martial arts moves as you would expect.Nobody like him was on any television show at that time.There were marvelous devices such as the Hornet Sting ultrasonic weapon & Hornet Gun that spewed a knockout gas.The Black Beauty sedan that TGH & Kato drove in on their cases was equipped with all sorts of weaponry such as rockets,Hornet Scanner,gas nozzle,to name a few.I wouldn't say that it was a perfect show although it'll always remain a favorite of mine. The half-hour format was limiting to both plot & character development.The villains were guys in suits,hardly colorful or intriguing as antagonists.I certainly did not wish to see TGH&K battle campy foes as was being done on Batman. However,intriguing adversaries along the lines of a Dr.No or Goldfinger featured in the James Bond films could have been created for TGH.Bruce Lee's Kato should have had much more screen time to fully display what this amazing man could do during action scenes.Give it a try & see what you think.
