I really wanted to get an episode out there! Glad I got it just under the wire!

I believe that Filmation created Kyro because they considered Tom Kalmaku too ethnic. In the comics, he was Hal’s Eskimo (or Inuit) mechanic, whom Hal called “Pieface”. Ironically, by giving Kyro blue skin, they had to make the Guardians pink-skinned (they were blue-skinned in the comics). Besides these three “Green Lantern” Adventures, GL also appeared in the three “Justice League of America” cartoons.

These cartoons were not made for adults but for kids between the ages of 5 and 10. Adults and teens did not read comic books let alone watch cartoons. So these morning cartoons were not sophisticated, but as a kid they were fun to watch. But seriously if you were adult back then reading a comic book or analyzing a superhero cartoon, people would have thought you had gone bonkers
