I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but channel 153 (I believe it's called AMERICAN LIFE) on Time Warner digital cable here in New York City, appears to be broadcasting an episode of THE GREEN HORNET every Friday night. Tonight's episode airs at 9:30 pm, with a repeat of the same show later in the evening. As I've only seen the Green Hornet, and more importantly, Kato (Bruce Lee), during their guest appearance on a couple of episodes of the 60's BATMAN series (which airs on the same channel at 9:00 pm), this should be quite a treat.
That is most likely American Life, which has been running the two series back to back on Friday nights.
Great station, runs a lot of my favorites, including the color, hourlong HONEYMOONERS from the mid-1960s, F TROOP, WELCOME BACK, KOTTER, etc.

AmericanLife Network is no longer running the Warner Brothers shows...I believe the license has expired...including THE FBI, I SPY, THE MAN FROM UNCLE, MAVERICK, KOTTER, 77 SUNSET STRIP, HARRY O, KUNG FU and many others. They picked up a bunch of 20th Century Fox shows, including BATMAN, GREEN HORNET, MARY TYLER MOORE, BOB NEWHART, NEWHART, WKRP, the four Irwin Allen series, THE RAT PATROL, 12 O'CLOCK HIGH, LOU GRANT, TRAPPER JOHN, M.D.... They also added MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE from the CBS/Paramount library (that and COMBAT! are the only Paramount show they licensed), which ALN runs several times per week.
ALN does a pretty good job of presenting cool old shows. I believe they may be uncut or close to it, but time-compressed. I know THE FBI, without commercials, was running about 44 minutes, but I didn't notice any obviously missing scenes. ALN does run the closing credits of all their shows without squeezing them or running a voiceover over them, which is very cool. I have been getting into LOU GRANT (great show) and TRAPPER JOHN (okay show) recently, and I'm curious about 12 0'CLOCK HIGH, which I've never had the opportunity to watch before.
ALN is basically doing what TV Land used to do and should still be doing, though not as hip or clever. It's TV for codgers--the constant commercials for life insurance, vitamins, scooters and hearing aids being the best clue--but it far outpaces other cable networks in terms of providing a home for classic television.
