Historyvortex.org has a fantastic article highlighting the rarely seen TV appearances by Godzilla back in the late 60's.
They call these the "Lost Episodes" because they were rarely seen by most Godzilla
fans, thus becoming seemingly forgotten.I've included several images of the "monsters" from these shows, and as one can see Toho essentially took the classic Godzilla costumes and refitted them with various trinkets/highlights to create "new" monsters.
It denotes the very cheap production Toho had for these shows, to the point that the second image is clearly Godzilla with an upside down fin!
In any case the real Godzilla did make several appearances and fought alongside the superhero Ultra Q to help save the day.
I can't state how good or bad these shows were as I've never seen any of them...but based on what the website describes they seemed kooky enough.
I highly recommend everyone to read this article as it presents a very descriptive glimpse into these rare Godzilla television appearances.
Great stuff!:
