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.
