Green Hornet was on which [Homer-Dog] thought was neat. Terror Theater was on later - All in Spanish.<br /><br />Lots of noise outside."</span></blockquote></i></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Hornet"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Green Hornet</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"> is awesome ... even in Spanish. Bruce Lee - totally cool. I think that's how I learned Spanish. I watched all these old American shows in Spanish. Green Hornet. </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat!"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Combat</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">. Mission Impossible. The Three Stooges. Old horror movies. Guatemalan TV in the 70s was an eclectic mix of American, Mexican, and Japanese stuff. I remember coming home from school to catch the latest episode of </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Boy"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Astroboy</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Battleship_Yamato"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Space Battleship Yamato</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"> (Who would have thought that 30+ years later they would be cult classics - </span><a href="http://www.astroboy-themovie.com/"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Astroboy: the movie</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"> is coming out soon), or </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraman"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Ultraman</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"> (And his teammate Ultra Seven). On Sunday night I watched </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucha_libre"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Lucha Libre</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.chespirito.com/"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">Chespirito</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;">. Now they can be watched on Univision. I guess what goes around comes around again ... if you wait long enough.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/593970477444543007-8449777279482639102?l=homerstravels.com' alt='' /></div>Bruce H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00180515178920053080noreply@blogger.com0
