The list of Ultraman shows, along with their Ultra-stars (note that I don't mention guest appearances, unless they are significant), are as follows:

  1. Ultraman (July 17, 1966 - April 9, 1967 -- 39 episodes)
  2. Ultraseven (October 1, 1967 - September 8, 1968 -- 49 episodes)

  14. Ultra Meow (date unknown) - an animated show with a feline Ultra-warrior
  15. Ultra Kids (date unknown) - an animated show with many of the Ultra-heroes as children.
There have been several other productions involving the Ultra-heroes, as well. In 1994, two Ultraseven specials were shown in Japan.

What movies were produced?

There were several movies (not including documentaries on the shows themselves and their production teams) that further developed the Ultraman story. These included "The Ultraman Story" (which included a very young Ultraman Taro as an "Ultraboy") and the Thai-produced "The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. the Monster Army" (which was also set in Thailand).

Of course, there was also the Ultraman Zearth movie, produced in 1996. A second Zearth movie was shown in 1997. In 1998, Ultraman Tiga & Ultraman Dyna was produced, as were 3 direct-to-video Ultraseven stories. 1999 sees Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna, & Ultraman Gaia, along with a cute movie, Ultraman M78 The Movie: Love And Peace, featuring super-deformed Ultra-warriors playing and having a good time with equally cute monsters. Summer of 1999 also introduces the first chapters in "Ultraseven: The Final Chapter."

What languages were the shows in?

Almost all of the Ultra-movies, shows, and specials mentioned above were produced in Japanese only. Some were dubbed in English, and a few were actually produced in English and later translated to Japanese. (As far as I know, none were subtitled.) The translations are:
