"The Green Hornet"1966-1967 Television Series
[huh] The reason why "The Green Hornet"was canceled was not due to poor writing,it had great writing.The Executive Producer,William Dozier,wanted the show to be an hour long,and proved it could work by making three 2-part episodes,in an effort to recuperate production costs[the show was costing more to make per weekly episode than the 1966-68 live-action "Batman"],plus an hour fleshed out the charactors more,and gave better opportunities for more story time.The ABC broadcast network said they wanted it to stay at half-an-hour long,and the show was doing well in the prime time ratings each week[Friday nights 7:30p.m.-8:00p.m.],but Dozier pulled the plug on the network,after only 26 half-hour color T.V.Episodes had been filmed,[the commitment to ABC called for a full 30 Episodes].The show originally aired from September 9,1966,to July 14,1967,for one season,one year,if only Dozier had said yes to the half-hour format ABC wanted the series to stay at,it would have lasted at least a few more seasons,years,very unfortunate,very sad,it was a very high-quality product all-around.
