Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu

Will someone please add a reference to the 'Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu' - how could you have an article about Hong Kong Phooey and not mention it?!

He is also pretty funny.

Think of the Wikipedia NPOV!

Why? It's a fact, not an opinion.

Foo.

comic?

"This and a limited comic book series highlighting an aged Hong Kong Phooey on a last mission, apparently to clear his name from a crime he didn't commit." - the above quote needs to be expanded - what publisher? what year?

DVD

Hadn't thought of Hong Kong Phooey in years, but today Netflix lists it among this week's new releases. Everything is "released" on Tuesdays for some reason. Should I change the article to say "was released on August 15" and hope nobody reads it before Tuesday? ;) —Tamfang 18:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you like the Band Sublime, then check out their studio session in which they do a cover of the theme song on Youtube. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.176.159 (talk) 03:10, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stupid Trivia Item

I'm removing In the episode #3 of The Perils of Penelope Pitstop series, "The Boardwalk Entrapment" there's a reference to Rosemary the Telephone Operator, when Pockets says "Ya don't say, ya don't say!", similar to what Rosemary says when she answers the phone.

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop premiered in 1969; Hong Kong Phooey premiered in 1974.

Unless this "reference" was intended for psychic/time-travelling viewers, it would be impossible to make a joke about Hong Kong Phooey, which was shown 5 years later.

Besides, Hanna-Barbera were always using the same jokes/catchphrases in their productions, that doesn't mean they were intentional references to other shows. Psychonaut3000 04:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Green Hornet reference deleted without asking

Possible VANDALISM (content removed with discussint it first)

Some nazi dictator is deleting the content listed below, without disussing it first in the talk page. Might need semi-protecting this page from anonymous edits. Need assistance in this matter.

The Green Hornet

Several references in Hong Kong Phooey are a direct pun of The Green Hornet TV show:

Phooey's "Gong mobile" is always colored green.
The Cat always saved the day, as Kato always saved the Green Hornet from an impending doom.
Phoeey *knows* martial arts. In real life, Bruce Lee, who played Kato in the Green Hornet, was a bona fide martial arts expert.
Brit Reid (Green Hornet's real name) works with the knowledge of the chief of police and the D.A; Phooey works as the janitor right in the Police Department.

NPOV doesn't apply to the Green Hornet link FACTS

Facts are facts, anonymous Nazi de-contributor (To the anonimous censor coward at 172.209.158.232)

If you don't like others people contributions, join the Gestapo and start censoring from there. Any dissent (word that you obviously dislike) should be discussed in the Talk page, not by removing content using an anonymous login. If you have any evidence that any single fact (is 2+2=4 an "original research"?) that makes a link between the Green Hornet and Hong Kong Phooey is untrue, then prove it. I dare you.

1. The GREEN Hortnet is GREEN. Hong Hong Phoeey always rode in some sort vehicle, always GREEN colored. 2. The Green Hornet was always saved by his servant named KATO; Phooey was always saved by his CAT. 3. The Green Hornet WORKED with the knowledge of the Chief of Police; Phooey WORKED as the janitor right in the Police Department.

To begin with, why are you complaining about an anonymous editor, but you don't even sign your own posts? Secondly, your list of "links" is absurd. I could make a list exactly like that of links between my Toyota and the Pacific Ocean, and it would be just as relevent as your ridiculous list.Primium mobile 23:08, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, The Green Hornet's car was black. It's name was the Black Beauty. Points 2 and 3 are similarly weak. Dr Capitalism (talk) 03:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Airdates

I'm confused by an apparent contradiction in the article. The lead says the show aired until September 4, 1976, but the episodes section below states it aired till December 21, 1974. I think it's an error in the lead. --Brandon Dilbeck 08:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could be that it went into re-runs for two years without making any new episodes. -Toptomcat (talk) 08:21, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Number of Episodes

The opening paragraph makes the statement that there were sixteen episodes consisting of 31 shorts. Yet at the bottom of the article, in the episode list, I count 32 shorts. Primium mobile 23:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Storm Warning=The Incredible Mr. Shrink?

I think the error was that. 82.181.149.11 (talk) 11:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name of the theme song?

In the article, it lists the name of the theme song as "Underdog", sung by Butthole Surfers on Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits album. However, on this list of songs for the album, it says that Underdog is from, well, Underdog (makes sense) and the theme to HKP was Hong Kong Phooey. Khelek (talk) 04:44, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Laugh Track

Boomerang Uk does not have a laugh track on the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.47.140.30 (talk) 14:37, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bloopers

There is a huge section at the bottom about bloopers and culutral references...this entire section seems unenecessary and is uncited. Do we really need to know that there are referneces in the show proving it takes place in the US? HOw is that noteworthy of a show that was produced by Americans? The bloopers don't seem notable, and take up far too much of the article. In fact, the 'bloopers' about the book are just interpretation...who's to say they weren't different books?162.136.193.1 (talk) 20:00, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
