About Let's Roll, Kato: A Guide to TV's Green Hornet (BRBTV Fact Book Series 6):
It was the series that presented a beloved radio hero in living color on the small screen – and at the same time introduced a martial arts legend-in-the-making, Bruce Lee. It was “The Green Hornet,” produced by the team that brought you the 1966 “Batman” series and starring Van Williams as the emerald-clad avenger secretly posing as a criminal to bring down the most notorious gangsters, racketeers and wrongdoers.

The ABC series lasted only one TV season, 1966-67, but a wealth of information still exists on it. Now, in this guide released just as the show turns 50, BRBTV chronicles it all, from the planning of the series in the mid-‘60s, as shepherded by character co-creator George W. Trendle and executive producer William Dozier, through each and every episode, to the fandom beyond. Author and journalist Billie Rae Bates talked with series star Van Williams and other members of the cast and crew, as well as writers and other industry professionals who have been involved with the show’s lore over the decades.

In “Let’s Roll, Kato: A Guide to TV’s Green Hornet,” you’ll find lots of facts and fun surrounding this classic TV show:
- A history of the development of the series, as well as background on each of the principal stars
- Cast list and character guide
- Episode synopses, plus background on the storylines and scripts
- A look at the Black Beauty car, with input from owners of both screen-used and replica vehicles
- A listing of the many gadgets used by the Hornet, both inside the car and out
- An in-depth look at the books and comics that sprung from the series, with input from the writers and artists who helped produce them
- Detailed guide to the vast and varied merchandise celebrating the series, with plenty of photos (color in this Kindle edition!)

The sixth big book in the BRBTV fact book series, with beautiful cover art by Baltimore artist Dale Cuthbertson, “Let’s Roll, Kato” is jam-packed -- this Kindle edition clocks in at the equivalent of 435 letter-sized pages!

BRBTV has been a solid source of information on classic 1980s TV shows since 1998. You can learn more about the author and her other fun-fact reference guides, which focus on "Dallas," "Dynasty," "The Dukes of Hazzard," "Wonder Woman" and "The Secrets of Isis," at BRBTV.com.

Join me this weekend for Timegate 2016!

TimeGate is an annual Doctor Who and British media and culture convention in Atlanta, GA. Attendees come from all over the Southeast, all over the nation and even from as far away as England to take part in the festivities. Launched in 2005, the convention hits its 10 year anniversary in 2015 with special guest Katy Manning and Michelle Gomez. Past Doctor Who guests have included actors Colin Baker, Sophie Aldred, Mary Tamm, John Levene, Colin Spaull and Caitlin Blackwood, script editors Terrance Dicks and Andrew Cartmel, composer Dominic Glynn, film editor Louis Robinson, and more.

For 2016, join us as we celebrate 20 years of the 8th Doctor with special guest, Paul McGann. You can see the full guest list here.

I will have a table set up with my books, including the new Sherlock Holmes/Domino Lady trade collection, a good fit for this convention, I think. I'll also be going panels throughout the weekend.

Ready to start planning your TimeGate weekend?

Well, now you can!

The TimeGate 2016 Programming Schedule is here! This is a full list of everything we have planned for you for this year's convention. Keep in mind that there may still be an edit or two over the coming week, as we finalize panelists and make final tweaks (there are a couple of panelist conflicts we have to resolve). Once the schedule is completely finished, the app will be loaded with all the event information and released. You'll be hearing more about some exciting changes with the app very soon. For now, though, you can consider the schedule to be about 95% complete. (Like battle, no con schedule survives contact with the enemy. Ha!)

You can find the full Google Doc schedule here on on Timegate's website.

 

We are currently blessed with a huge crop of quality television shows

that have their roots in the world of comic books. Arrow kicked off a golden age of comic book TV shows that now includes The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Gotham, and on the Marvel side of things Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter (with more to come!). All of these shows have had ups and downs and each is a very different sort of experience.

Join Phantom, Bobby, and Ryan as they discuss the joys of this glut of comic booky goodness!

I joined the ESMCU crew to talk about Daredevil.

-----

In our 20th episode, John and Jennifer are joined by Bobby Nash and Jp Patrick to dissect the first half of Marvel's first Netflix series, Daredevil. What made it so successful? Does binge watching make a difference in how you tell a story? And what lengths would JP go to, to get Rosario Dawson's phone number?

Please note that we recorded this episode BEFORE Jon Bernthal was announced as the new Punisher, so our lengthy discussion about Jason Statham is all the more amusing now.
