Summary: Very enjoyable DVD, bad format
Review: This DVD (despite it's reference on the cover as a theatrical release in 1974) is actually 4 episodes from the series sandwiched together (including the two parter that actually were the last 2 episodes of the series). I would rather see all the episodes in proper order. By the way, 1 clip from another 2 parter also appears in this disc. This is the dumbest mistake as there is no reference to the particular character. One who hasn't seen the series in 1966 on ABC or the reruns on FX in 1994 would think the Green Hornet just diverted to knock another bad guy down, just for the sake of it, while en route to the real crime. Buy the DVD and it's pending sequel to preserve the series, yes, but know what you're getting first. By the way to the person who quoted the opening above, that opening was done by William Dozier NOT Gary Owens (doesn't anybody watch Batman anymore?)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: TO Black Beauty (Lawrence, NY)
Review: When I was a kid (yup, back in the 60's), I used to LOVE watching the Green Hornet series on t.v. - which didn't last very long.

In re: to your wish to see 'those' series originals on dvd, I think you may never see that day. From what I understand, the ORIGINAL GREEN HORNET tv series 'film' archives were destroyed some time ago in a fire - hence, why you don't see the title on dvd. A real shame - especially for those of us fond of nostalgia . . . Think this may be as close as it's going to get for the GH
