The Green Hornet The Green Hornet was originally a radio adventure series , broadcast from 1936 until 1952 . Designed as a follow - up to the success of " The Lone Ranger " , it originated from the same station ( Detroit ’ s WXYZ ) and shared most of the same creators , crew , and several supporting actors . Like a modern - day Lone Ranger , the hero would be a masked fighter for justice with a strict moral code , a faithful sidekick ( Kato ) , a memorable steed ( the car Black Beauty instead of the horse Silver ) , and a classical music theme ( “ Flight of the Bumblebee , ” suggestive of the Hornet ’ s swift movements ) . Instead of Western bandits , the Hornet mostly fought racketeers , corrupt politicians , and smugglers . By 1947 , a series of episodes definitively explained that Britt Reid ( the Green Hornet ) was in fact the great nephew of the Lone Ranger ( Britt ' s father Dan Reid , now elderly , had been the kid nephew of John Reid , the Lone Ranger ) . The series was later adapted for comic books , film serials , and a 1966 television series , notable particularly for the expanded role given to Kato ( played by martial arts star Bruce Lee ) . A 2011 film version offered a slightly different take on the characters . As Muppet creator Jim Henson recalled , " The Green Hornet " was one of several adventure shows he listened to as a child : " I ' d go home at four - thirty or five in the afternoon to hear shows like " The Green Hornet " and " The Shadow " and " Red Ryder " .
