“The Green Hornet” marathon is going on on SyFy right now. Again, the best two, in my opinion: “The Preying Mantis” at 2:30 PM, featuring a climactic “gung fu” (as they say it) battle between Kato (Bruce Lee) and a Tong overlord (Mako); “Bad Bet on a 459-Silent” at 8 PM in which the Hornet (Van Williams) is shot by a cop and, consequently, basically screwed because the bullet needs to come out and all the hospitals are on the lookout for him. Episodes run until 11 PM EST, although you should feel free to skip the two part “Invasion from Space” at 10 PM. So painfully campy that it’s as if they got an order from the network saying, “Make it more like ‘Batman’ and this was their attempt to do so.
