I remember laughing at that show. :grin:

He was like a smartphone - always running out of energy and having to run off and recharge.

Yeah. That was pretty classic Ultraman. My friends and I always loved the fact that he would battle monsters for most of the show with punches and kicks, and then he would remember to use one of his rays to destroy the monster at the last minute. :idea:

I still remember laughing the time Hayata ran out and tried to use a spoon instead of the Beta Capsule! It is at the end of the posted video during the "funny" section.
Wow, they even made a toy with it!

Totally watched that when I was a little kid. I think it was on KTVU out of San Francisco.

I had to watch it on a UHF station too, using one of those converter boxes that were finicky as hell.

The UHF station (WDRB in Louisville, KY) had just started up. They didn't start broadcasting until sometime in the afternoon, and ended after the 6:embarrassed:0PM news during the weekdays. Ultraman, Speed Racer, and Three Stooges were the staples in their lineup. They also had some guy in a clown suit doing bad magic tricks and showing ancient public-domain cartoons. I really think he was working off the public service part of a DUI or something.

Saturday night was the best, though. At 10:embarrassed:0PM the "Friendly Fearmonger" hosted a horror movie of the week. "The Tingler", "13 Ghosts", "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and many more great (and not so great) monster movies.

I hadn't thought about that stuff in years. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. And, get off my lawn!
 
I remember Speed Racer and Thunderjets, but I don't know if Ultraman played anywhere I lived as a kid.
