Trivia: A sinister aspect of an otherwise lightheated comedy, but the fact is that Hogan and his men are war criminals.

Saraba Urutoraman - S1-E40

Trivia: The unused script of the final fight between Ultraman and Zetton was entirely different, as it shows Zetton ripping apart Ultraman's colour timer. In the end, Zoffy will save Ultraman and defeat Zetton. However, the writing team decided not to use it because it was deemed too violent, and it portrayed Ultraman, the main hero, being cut. This alternate ending can also be seen in the game Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 during the Ultraman vs Zetton mission.

My Mother the Car picture My Mother the Car trivia picture

Trivia: In this incredibly stupid NBC television sitcom that lasted only one season (from Sept. 1965 to April 1966), Jerry Van Dyke's late mother is reincarnated as a hideous vintage ragtop jalopy called a "1928 Porter"; but, in fact, no such vehicle was ever produced in automotive history. The 1928 Porter was a fantasy car assembled strictly for this short-lived TV show, using bits and pieces of a Model-T Ford, a Maxwell, a Hudson, and a Chevrolet.
