@vinylrecord68 Yea, I knew that. Don't know where I got 1969. Maybe too much hairspray that day.
Thanks.

@Laceykat66 It was actually 1966...
-
@BRUCE0591 No.
I believe it was producer William Dozier, who also narrated "Batman".

@mvp822 thanks, that buged me for quite awhile.

@BRUCE0591 No. The narrator for "The Green Hornet" was producer William Dozier, who also narrated the "Batman" TV series in the 1960s.

Does anyone know if the narrator is Dick Stockton, the guy who did the play by play for CBS when they carried the NBA in the 80's? He sure sounds like him.

@spider9137 I agree with you. The "scenes" they used were probably from the earliest episodes. Most of the time the "action" in an opening is from the first show or two. As for hairstyles, I don't blame Wende. I couldn't maintain that style for long either. Of course today she would be a little stronger. But back then all the girls were just window dressing.

Eh ... I like the theme music. " ... and their rolling arsenal, the Black Beauty" is probably one of the greatest lines ever written for the opening narration of a show. But I never liked the selection of scenes. Couldn't they have chosen a better shot of the Green Hornet? A photo of Kato attacking someone, as opposed to a melee? And you can't see the Black Beauty except for the headlights, the grill and a puff of smoke. Wende Wagner didn't keep that hairstyle for long, either.

@spider9137 Hardly "lame." This was 1969 for gosh sake. Even with only three networks production costs were keep down. The whole season of "Star Trek" probably cost less than one episode of "Battlestar Galactica." This was "hip" and "with it" for the time.
Tell me one new show today that has this memorable an opening.

The opening titles are lame ... but the show was definitely not low-budget.
