Britt convinces the girl to keep the secret but then tells his father about everything he's done as the Green Hornet. During their conversation, Britt's father tells him about "our great relative" who also wore a mask and took on the bad guys. The Lone Ranger's name is never mentioned, but the William Tell Overture plays in the background during the scene, and it's a great pierce of radio drama and you can't miss the connection. The series changed after that, where the Hornet was still seen by the public as a villain but to higher-ups in law enforcement he was a troubleshooter who helped them catch the bad guys they couldn't otherwise get.<br /><br />The Green Hornet is a great radio show, but I wish the gas gun made a noise.Brian Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233187184688491057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-52575095954795797232011-01-11T09:18:22.649-08:002011-01-11T09:18:22.649-08:00I'm a little hesitant about seeing the new fil...I'm a little hesitant about seeing the new film, but rereading some of the old pulp stories would be fun, I guess.<br /><br />and thanks for the help.Richard R.http://brokenbullhorn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-67464670356638603272011-01-11T08:27:40.251-08:002011-01-11T08:27:40.251-08:00I'm waiting for Roger Ebert's review of th...I'm waiting for Roger Ebert's review of the new movie version before I decide if I want to see it.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-33997050350820265682011-01-11T02:40:08.474-08:002011-01-11T02:40:08.474-08:00Not that he was an OTR scholar, but my uncle first...Not that he was an OTR scholar, but my uncle first told me, when introducing me to these shows, that the connection between the Reids was not suggested until someone simply noticed the similarity in names, and I find that to be the more plausible argument.Craig Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340904520617472135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-73246611775329160442011-01-11T01:37:20.294-08:002011-01-11T01:37:20.294-08:00Must be one of the very first heroic dinasties of ...Must be one of the very first heroic dinasties of all time.
