RE: [BaadAssGremlins] Green Hornet & Kato

["John W Rosa" <JohnRosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eddie,

Brett Reid?!?!? Dude...it was Van Johnson, and it was 
so UN-popular they killed it after just a few episodes.
I'd have liked it to continue, but I was a six-year-old
....who listens to them? ;)

Mind you, the show began and ended in 1967..years before 
these cars were built. I don't believe a 'product tie-in'
existed....it was more a 'play on words' to use the 
familiarity of the Comic Book character's name to sell a 
few cars. Had it been an actual, contractual 'tie-in',
there would have been specific reference to the TV show 
and/or it's comic book version placed right in the ad,
as is found in all tie-ins (i.e., 'see the new film, 
coming soon from...' and so on.
