Looking for.....

I am looking for anyone who worked on the production of The Green Hornet TV series in 1966 and 1967. Would like information and memories of the daily activities or anything you can recall.

Thank you,

Karl,

Has anyone responded to this request? Not looking for details, just curious.

I have fond memories of listening to GH on the radio before my parents broke down and bought a TV. And I was overjoyed when the TV series came on in 1966. I was also disappointed when it did not return for a second season.

Anyway, I'm interested in anything you may have learned.

Nope! Not a word. I know they are out there but I doubt they read the posts.
Still its worth a try!

Greetings, Karl!

Actually, I'm the daughter of Van Williams (one of 5 actually) and remember Bruce Lee showing us card tricks while visiting the set once! I can forward my dad your e-mail address and let him decide if he'd like to contact you. Will that work? You can e-mail me directly at [email protected].

Glad to see so many people still remember THE GREEN HORNET - and am equally glad that they're making a movie!!

Lisa,

Hopefully you'll check this board again someday. I've never posted on IMDB before but your message prompted me to do so.

I've always been a big fan of the Hornet radio shows and the TV series is one of my favorites, seeing it for the first time on FX years ago. My TiVo has about 10 episodes on it from Starz Action channel!

Please relay to your father a big "Thank you!" from one Hornet fan here in New Jersey. Watching the show lately, I really noticed that Van brought a real tough-guy, dangerous quality to the Hornet. You really see a dual-personality between his portrayl of Britt Reid and the Hornet and how even his body language changes when he's in the mask and fedora, too! Really well played!

I've always thought the show was 10 years ahead of it's time and, if it wasn't caught up in the wake of the 60's "Batmania", it should've been on for a few years longer. Luckily, we still have Season One and Kevin Smith's new Hornet movie in the near future. All I know is, if Kevin's true to his word about this being a "generational story", Van better be getting a casting call from Kevin! It would be great to see him back!

Thanks again!

Mike

Lisa, do you have any idea if your father is going to have at least a Cameo in the upcoming "Green Hornet" movie? Likewise how about a cameo for Shannon Lee as a tip of the hat for her own late father, Bruce Lee?
