Wonderful stuff… I used to love watching this great show, from the classic opening titles to the hilariously surreal action sequences it was an unmissable weekly TV treat!
Agreed, with all that superhero stuff going on (specially the cartoons) when we were little kids. The fight sequences was what I was always waiting for. I didn't understand the rest of it too well. When you watch it as an adult, you enjoy the campiness
Yeah, it was pretty obvious to me when I was 5. Actually, I then started reading Batman comics. The mood whiplash was pretty extreme. (This was the early post-Crisis continuity, and the new Robin had an appointment in -Samarra- Ethiopia.)

Friends, this was a most special times, never to come again. I remember coming home from elementary school just dying to watch Batman, and Superman right after. I would sitter watching, transfixed in an otherworldly state of sweet, euphoric wonder, that you can only truly enjoy when you are a kid. In 1975 I was 10, the perfect age to appreciate all of those classics such as the above two, plus Star Trek, Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island - these were the after school go-to shows. What a wonderful time of life that was, everything was so in the moment, time felt so slow, there was beauty and wonder to be found literally everywhere and in everything. Every precious moment was savoured. Naturally, this was life as seen through the eyes of a young boy. Everything in life was new, fresh, magical, interesting, souname it, and the 70s decade was perfect for all of that learning, discovery and enjoyment. Man do I miss that time. I honestly feel stuck in that decade, to the point where it is probably becoming an unhealthy obsession. I can't stop thinking about my grandparent's, some aunts, uncles who are now gone, but were an integral part of my childhood. In particular, my maternal grandparent's were such an important part of my childhood, especially my grandfather. One of his passions in life was watching tv. He only watched QUALITY television programs - the best movies, shows, documentaries, news, you name it. By the time I was 12, I had seen all of the classics of every genre. I definitely learned all about good movies and shows from him.. I remember sitting in the dim lit living room with him and my dad, during a cold blizzard winter night, all warm and cozy, watching 'the Guns of Navarone' for example. Needless to say, I was in Fantasy Wonderland as a boy of 10 in 1975. In the world of today, I simply cannot find the satisfaction, purpose, meaning, enjoyment in anything anymore and I am 56 with a wife and daughter. Unfortunately I have always suffered from depression, but this is different. I have lost my way, and it is scary as hell. My life has not been easy since day 1, as I had a mom with serious mental issues which really affected me. On top of that I had a father who was stressed out from his very dysfunctional marriage, and often took out his frustration on my sister and I by being verbally demeaning. And so between both of them, we were royally screwed, pardon the expression. All of that really affected me negatively in so many ways. As it turns out, I turned out to be a great dad, but a lousy husband. So guilt, shame, lack of confidence are what define me now. I am a very intelligent man, well read, educated, but I just can't seem to put any kind of plan together. Not a day goes by that I don't feel like a complete failure. Sorry for saying all of this, but sometimes desperation makes one do crazy things. Sometimes I feel like I need to re-invent myself, and start a new chapter someplace else, throw caution to the wind, and just see what happens. Many have done just that and it worked for them. I'm so confused, and it doesn't let up, ever. Any helpful thoughts would be great appreciated.
George, may I recommend, "Feeling Good,: The New Mood Therapy" by Dr. David Burns. Also, you may want to see a therapist, if you aren't already. Don't believe everything your mind tells you. You are not your thoughts. But they do affect the way we feel. Or as Seneca put it: We suffer more in imagination than in reality. All the best.
Those were the days. Worked for the big 3. Got bushwhacked by a lady that saw sucurity in me, 100% medical coverage and a life time pension. Retired now in upper lower mi
You can say that again. The Riddler was just incredible. I am not sure they casted the actors to the characters...maybe the actors were so good they molded the characters..kind of like the original Star Trek episodes. Robin was unreal! I love it when he says "Gosh Batman, you're right!"
That was a big thing when the show was on, for any actor to play that week's villain. A feather in their cap, so to speak. (Art Carney Archer reference) 🙃
@@davehallett3128 That maybe true, but "Batman" was a midseason replacement during the 1965-66 television season, premiering on January 12, 1966, thus giving the show three seasons. And, of course, because the show aired twice a week during its first two seasons, there were enough episodes to make the show eligible for syndication.
I enjoyed Earth Kitt very much with her take on the Catwoman role in season 3 but it's too bad Julie Newmar had a movie commitment and could not participate in the third season. Certain villains just shouldn't be replaced (Frank Gorshin as Riddler is the prime example for me). But what can you do; Mr. Freeze was played by _three_ actors. I still can't believe the show actually came to home video after such a long wait for the fans. The blu ray box has a prominent place on my media shelves. Once in a while I watch the series, and it's always a delicious hoot: colorful, wacky entertainment.
I remember how before Batman premiered in January 1966, it was shown before a test audience and was one of the lowest-rated new shows ever presented. Yet once it premiered, the ratings were amazing-it got something like a "52% share," which meant the majority of the population that had a TV at that time was watching it.
The Riddler was my favorite villain. That laugh, and the mischeivous, gleeful way he hopped around was hilarious. I use to try to imitate him sometimes as a kid when playing good guys vs bad guys with my friends.
This show was really in a class all by itself. It had countless stars. I couldn't possibly name them all, and her's just a few. Ethel Merman, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, Tallulah Bankhead, Frank Gorshin, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Joan Collins, Victor Buono, John Astin and so many other wonderful actors and actresses.
They had planned for a fourth season. Batgirl was supposed to replace Robin completely. Back in Comicbookland, Denny O'Neil wanted Robin gone because of the gay rumors. Eventually, he would be rescued by Marv Wolfman, who had him lead a story, a story to end all stories. But as time went on, the batoffices (who were suffering a lot from the association with this show at a time when comics were supposed to be pure angst and meanwhile Batman's facing off against a bunch of delusional Cold War rejects called the Force of July) started begging for their little Robin to return, they'd gone through a second, and, yeah, **plays "Hearts and Flowers"**, and eventually Editorial started ordering Teen Titans taken to the extreme with this trend, and so their old bird returned home, in a miniseries written by...Denny O'Neill.😥
These were like live cartoons with their over the top animated Technicolor costumes and sets. Friends use to meet up at my house during the summer while I tuned in our motorized antenna to catch a clear feed coming in from Buffalo.
What about the movie that started all of this? Those henchmen that were rehydrated by heavy water from the reactor were atomized and that poor porpoise or dolphin that sacrificed itself to saved the dynamic duo
Look how vibrant the colors were in Batman, Star Trek and even Brady Bunch and Gilligan''s Island..not to mention SPEED RACER! Color in shows was awesome in the 60s.. People thought in color back them.
I grew up with this Batman and later discovered he was actually more serious I nature. Now I am older and revel at all the well known actors were featured on the show.
Penguin, Riddler, Joker and Cat Woman were definitely the 'First Division' of Bat 'Arch Criminals.' With Tut, False Face, Egghead, Bookworm and Mr Freeze close behind. The rest like the Archer, Siren, Louis the Lilac etc always disappointed, in my 9 year old humble opinion.

I originally enjoyed these because the Family Channel in the late 80's edited these out for time purposes, so when I saw them on other channels I was like 'wow'! So I've come to enjoy these little 'minisodes' of sorts...

Barbara: How did you know it was me ? Gordon: I would rather not say. Batman: May I offer a suggestion ? Gordon: Stay out of this, Mr. Wayne. Robin: Holy lost secret identities !
80s version: Deathstroke: You'd be surprised, Grayson. I deduced your identities even without Tara's help. Nightwing: How? Deathstroke: It's simple: Logan's green, the alien's orange and she's a model and Troy's her photographer, the witch is the only person I've ever met who wears both a bindi and a hijab, and Stone is a machine. Nightwing: And me? Deathstroke: You signed Tara's check. Nightwing: D'oh!
I was in I think about second grade when batman aired, pow, bam, I loved it, the bad guys, then da,nah, nah, nah, batman. Put a towel around my neck running through the house, probably the best time of my young life along with spending weekends at the beach, I was a fish, spent the whole day, from 9am to 4 pm in the waves, as a baby, my mom told me people would walk by and say, oh, look the baby's getting tossed around in the waves and I'd break through the foam and be laughing my diaper off. Mom would say, oh, he's fine, he's a fish, literally. Nantasket beach, Hull, Mass. Between Boston and cape cod. I miss that.
He was incredibly fun and manic in this role. I like John Astin but you cannot replace Frank Gorshin; he was superb. That giggle alone was outstanding.
13:19 - Boy, Yvonne Craig filled out that Batgirl costume VERY nicely....and 9:40 did Cesar Romero insist that the Joker get some boy-toy henchmen for this season....?
@@menacelurkingyet8345 Robin was still a minor in the comics. It's kinda gross because DC has a habit of forgetting this and throwing retcons at it years later and seeing what sticks. Also, they did drug her and drive her to the Batcave once.
The King Tut episodes in S3 were some of the best of the entire series. The intelligence of Tut connecting the dots about Bruce Wayne created a truly dangerous situation for Batman…in a much more intellectual way than the usual issues he deals with.
As a little kid back in the 70's, I enjoyed watching the repeats of Batman on WPIX-TV Channel 11. Hell, I even enjoyed it as a teenager when it was also repeated on WNEW-TV Metromedia Channel 5 back in the 80's. Not only that, I too enjoyed the motion picture from when it aired on ABC-TV Channel 7from the early 70's to 1986.
The gags and funny lines come so fast that you need to watch the show in slow motion to take it all in! Note how Batman and Robin wear their underwear externally but Batgirl does not wear her knickers externally. What about Catwoman's car! They must have had so much fun putting the show together!
Because it's a mental institution. Still shitty. One of their doctors fell in love with the Joker. And there's this guy going on about infinite Earths and some dude called the "anti-monitor", what's his deal?
Well, I hope the upcoming Batman film includes one of the classic villains, such as Louis the Lilac, Shame, Egghead, King Tut, Nora Clavicle, Doctor Cassandra, Siren, Minerva or Lord Fogg
Egghead was my favorite Batman villain, played my favorite horror film actor, Vincent Price. I now have the DVDS of the complete Batman TV series so I can watch it again anytime I want to, for as long as I like.
Wonderful stuff… I used to love watching this great show, from the classic opening titles to the hilariously surreal action sequences it was an unmissable weekly TV treat!

Gordon;) you don’t say, you don’t say, you don’t say (Batman, what did he say. Gordon, he didn’t say😊 classic, I love it.
Yvonne Craig.......a true beauty. Even with short hair. She was captivating on Star Trek TOS as the green skinned Orion slave girl.
She also played Neil Hamilton's stepdaughter in a fairly early episode of "Perry Mason"!

Barbara Gordon’s apartment seems to be many floors up .... yet she goes out the back alley like its the first floor
I'm thinking a sliding fire escape attachment for Batgirl's place hmm...

I originally enjoyed these because the Family Channel in the late 80's edited these out for time purposes, so when I saw them on other channels I was like 'wow'! So I've come to enjoy these little 'minisodes' of sorts...
*I was a kid growing up watching this . As a Adult man you really have to appreciate how good looking the WOMEN were on this show !!!*

"Highway safety is every citizens prime responsibility." I'm cracking up! ..in other words, "Do not drive like a bat out of hell."
just fun pleasant episodes. they may not be like the tell tale games that are present however this is in a leauge of its own

carrie rodriguez just a wonderful show
Batman 1966 is as easy and colourful and lovely as a Beatles' song.....i may say like Yellow Submarine
You don t say
Beatles music is not that exciting as 60's Batman music score
Gordon on the phone with his wife:
Got some bad news, Barbara is here in my office and she is dress like a masked vigilante and even worse she is with two others.
Barbara: How did you know it was me ?
Gordon: I would rather not say.
Batman: May I offer a suggestion ?
Gordon: Stay out of this, Mr. Wayne.
Robin: Holy lost secret identities !
80s version:
Deathstroke: You'd be surprised, Grayson. I deduced your identities even without Tara's help.
Nightwing: How?
Deathstroke: It's simple: Logan's green, the alien's orange and she's a model and Troy's her photographer, the witch is the only person I've ever met who wears both a bindi and a hijab, and Stone is a machine.
Nightwing: And me?
Deathstroke: You signed Tara's check.
Nightwing: D'oh!
I was in I think about second grade when batman aired, pow, bam, I loved it, the bad guys, then da,nah, nah, nah, batman. Put a towel around my neck running through the house, probably the best time of my young life along with spending weekends at the beach, I was a fish, spent the whole day, from 9am to 4 pm in the waves, as a baby, my mom told me people would walk by and say, oh, look the baby's getting tossed around in the waves and I'd break through the foam and be laughing my diaper off. Mom would say, oh, he's fine, he's a fish, literally. Nantasket beach, Hull, Mass. Between Boston and cape cod. I miss that.
How can you not love this show, and the women, the beautiful women, one of my favorite things.
this was terrific ! thanks so much for sharing it !!
Adam West was a genius. No other Batman was ever any good.
0:40 Frank Gorshin returns as The Riddler, after being missed for one whole sesaon
He was incredibly fun and manic in this role. I like John Astin but you cannot replace Frank Gorshin; he was superb. That giggle alone was outstanding.

El mejor batman de todos😊👍
Wish we would of got more episodes of this 💎 gem.
The good old days!
4:36-4:39
Killer Moth: Am I a joke to you?... (No wait, don't answer that....)
The alliteration in this show was in a league of it's own.
13:19 - Boy, Yvonne Craig filled out that Batgirl costume VERY nicely....and 9:40 did Cesar Romero insist that the Joker get some boy-toy henchmen for this season....?
Peter Friend Yvonne has an incredible figure...every pound in the right place!
@@ryanhunter130 Even when she was green: th-cam.com/video/1H2QvmWLT4s/w-d-xo.html
Personally I prefer Yvonne Craig as Maud Waverly on The Man From U.N.C.L.E. films over Batgirl
Just because Batman and Robin acted like gentlemen around Batgirl doesn't mean that they were....
@@menacelurkingyet8345 Robin was still a minor in the comics. It's kinda gross because DC has a habit of forgetting this and throwing retcons at it years later and seeing what sticks.
Also, they did drug her and drive her to the Batcave once.
Maybe the warden should worry more about keeping the prisoners in jail than the balanced diet
They seem to get out every couple of weeks
14:02 Even the local TV stations in Gotham film things with that Batman tilt to the cameras.

Awesome show and yes Riddler is an amazing criminal
And yet his father still says he's stupid.
That's his whole motive: To impress his abusive father.

It’s a classic. I spin the discs every so often.

this is great... and you dont say?
The King Tut episodes in S3 were some of the best of the entire series. The intelligence of Tut connecting the dots about Bruce Wayne created a truly dangerous situation for Batman…in a much more intellectual way than the usual issues he deals with.
Season 3’s King Tut and Season 2’s Egg Head were very well written in terms of narrowing down or figuring out who Batman probably was.
I was way too young to realize how corny this was.
Batman was cool for a five year old.
Highway safety is every citizen responsibility.

As i get older (now age 66) i find this series increasingly funny. Do i need i worry?
Damn Joker's henchman "Riptide" and "Wipeout".
Funny that because Caesar Romero was in an episode of riptide.

As a little kid back in the 70's, I enjoyed watching the repeats of Batman on WPIX-TV Channel 11. Hell, I even enjoyed it as a teenager when it was also repeated on WNEW-TV Metromedia Channel 5 back in the 80's. Not only that, I too enjoyed the motion picture from when it aired on ABC-TV Channel 7from the early 70's to 1986.
Love Eartha Kitt as Catwoman!! She embodied that role! She was the best!! RIP❤🙏
The gags and funny lines come so fast that you need to watch the show in slow motion to take it all in! Note how Batman and Robin wear their underwear externally but Batgirl does not wear her knickers externally. What about Catwoman's car! They must have had so much fun putting the show together!
This is the real Batman ❤️❤️✌️✌️
Does anybody have the answer to the Riddler's question? "How is the Jet Stream like a daffodil?"
Gotham City had the shittiest prisons ever, the same villains got out every 4 or 5 weeks
They believed in prison reform back then so they didn't have to be hard on the criminals wish I WAS in that prison
Because it's a mental institution.
Still shitty. One of their doctors fell in love with the Joker. And there's this guy going on about infinite Earths and some dude called the "anti-monitor", what's his deal?
Well, I hope the upcoming Batman film includes one of the classic villains, such as Louis the Lilac, Shame, Egghead, King Tut, Nora Clavicle, Doctor Cassandra, Siren, Minerva or Lord Fogg
Egghead was my favorite Batman villain, played my favorite horror film actor, Vincent Price. I now have the DVDS of the complete Batman TV series so I can watch it again anytime I want to, for as long as I like.
The best to bad the kids have no shows like this everyone actor was fine!!!!!!!
I bet the villains did it almost for free. It must have been a fun time
@@davehallett3128 It was the show to be on. You're even encouraged to ham it up.
It Seems in season 3 for every villain they defeat one more moves into place
Love it keep it coming
Just wonderful.
Riddler’s riddle was never answered then I looked it up on Google
a Jet stream is like a daffodil when they can both be yellow
