Anyone care to give their opinion as to why Ultraman hasn't gotten the same kind of exposure over here in the States the way Toho's Godzilla movies and others have? I remember when Tiga was brought over here and was airing on FOX Saturday mornings, but low ratings doomed the show. It just remember Ultra shows airing over here on sparse occasions. The first Ultraman, Ultra7, a cartoon Ultraman movie, Ultraman Towards the Future, then Tiga.
