Well, Toho had an idea to make a live monster-themed television series. So, they hired the company Mo Buru to produce it and Tohru Narita to design the characters. Tohru presented Toho with some concepts, Toho liked them, and they had their suit guy to make the concepts a reality. Then, they filmed 13 episodes on a sound stage in front of a live studio audience and aired the episodes on Nippon Television. After a few re-runs of the episodes, Nippon decided to delete the footage for whatever reason. In 2010, there were rumors that the tapes were found and that they would be released to DVD, but no information on that has surfaced since then. There's your little history lesson for today.
