I was watching repeats in the 70's on WPIX.

Same (Channel 11, NY). My favorite was a 2 parter when Liberace's evil twin had Dynamic Duo in a player piano roll machine, about to punch holes into the Caped Crusaders.

At the last moment, Batman instructs Robin to sing some variation of the notes that Batman sings. When they come out alive, it turns out that Batman was able to get the machine to punch a perfect outline of their bodies. I don't think even Chuck Norris could do that!

I liked the series quite a lot as a kid. But when I’ve seen it in more recent years, I’ve found the reflexive, self-consciousness of it all to a bit grating and tiresome. That element was appealing and somewhat rare in its day, but as the whole culture has become so fully and horridly awash in that kind of thing, it’s made the old show a bit less palatable for me. I’d still probably be willing to pick up a 1st-season dvd-set, though, just for the heck of it.

Honestly, though, I’m probably more inclined to enjoy the two 1940s “Batman” movie series.

Same Bat Time. Same Bat Channel

Hokey, but as a child I never missed an episode.

23 posts.

Not one single: “Holy _____, Batman!”

My favorite was: “Holy dental hygiene, Batman!”

featured guest stars including Milton Berle, Vincent Price, Liberace and Zsa Zsa Gabor, as well as Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman.

Those are the stars that they chose to name? What about Cesar Romero as the Joker, Burgess Meredith as the Penguin, and Frank Gorshin as the Riddler? They were the most frequent guest villians.

I’m old enough to have seen this when it first came on TV.

Never missed it.

I remember when I made a visit to Sun Valley, where Adam lived at the time, someone told me to look him up in the local phone book..

And I can testify that this is exactly what was in the phone book:

What do you call Batman and Robin after they were run over by a truck?

Flatman and Ribbon, of course.

Wow, they really screwed up the "Catwoman" reference in this article.

While Lee Merriweather did appear in the Batman TV series, she never played Catwoman - on TV. She did play Catwoman in the Batman MOVIE - which featured just about all the same characters/actors as the TV show.

Only Kitt and Newmar played Catwoman in the TV series.
