The Green Hornet TV show - Episode 1 - The Silent Gun (1966)

Watched it when I was a little kid.
Similar aesthetics to the Batman TV show of the same era.

Recently re-watched. Yeah it's corny.

One detail I did not remember.
The crime boss villain's name is "Trump".

You would have thought Andy and Barney could have caught him, since the Black Beauty drove right by the Mayberry courthouse during the opening credits of every episode.

In a way the whole concept reeks of corruption.

Kato (the sidekick) was Bruce Lee's first role as a Kung Fu fighter.
That's another detail I didn't remember, because who was Bruce Lee at the time?
