Roger C. Carmel, who played Harry Mudd, played Colonel Gumm in a two
part episode in which the Green Hornet (Van Williams) and Kato (Bruce Lee)
traveled from New York City to Gotham City. Batman, Robin and the police all
thought that the Green Hornet and Kato were villians, because in N.Y. G.H.
would pretend to be a villian to help him inflitrate various criminal groups
and defeat them from the inside. G.H. fought more mundane foes on his show.
This episode took place in the second season of "Batman". In the first
season, however, a rather different episode took place. Shortly after various
famous personalities began to pop out of the windows of buildings Batman and
Robin happened to be scaling, the Green Hornet and Kato appeared. Robin was
surprised to see them so far from the Big Apple, but Batman said that they
were probably there after some villian and remarked about what good crime-
fighters G.H. and Kato were. How quickly they forget.
A humorous side note. In the episode with Colonel Gumm, the Colonel
figured out that Batman was Britt Reid, who traveled from New York to
Gotham to fight crime. While Bruce Wayne commuted from Gotham to New York
to work as the Green Hornet. With this kind of intelligence is it any wonder
that Harcourt Fenton Mudd married Stella?
