The King Kong televison series was created by Eankin Bass and uses many of the

same characters of _Kingukongu no Gyakushu_/_King Kong Escapes_ (Ishiro Honda,

1968), which was a Rankin-Bass/Toho co-production.  Rankin-Bass made many

live-action films in Japan, mostly with Tsuburaya productions, including _The

Last Dinosaur_, _The Ivory Ape_, _The Bermuda Depths_, _The Bushido Blade_, and

_The Secret of Dorian Gray_.  Neither _The King Kong Show_  nor _The Secret of

Dorian Gray_ are listed on the IMDb as of now.
