Crap TV Flashbacks: Batman
Comments(1)
Yes, I know all you Dark Knight weirdos are in full Batman worship mode, but this Batman television show has been sucking for generations. I remember when the first big budget Batman movie came out probably over a decade ago with Michael Keaton as Batman. This show started to show up all over the place once again. I can only assume it will show up now with all the fanaticism over TDK.
This show is odd. It sometimes has the old folks trying to tell you that “we just don’t see performances like that anymore”, and “this old ass Joker was the best ever”. You quiclky laugh and mock this old man for his thoughts, but you have to deal with it like your tubby self has to deal with finding the best diet pills to lose that unsightly bubble butt (some women may keep these if it is a true bubble butt. Thanks.).
Batman is a 1960s American television series, based on the DC comic book character of the same name. It aired on the ABC network for two and a half seasons from January 12, 1966 to March 14, 1968. Shocking it only lasted 2 seasons. Show is more popular now I think as a throwback. IT is one of those “It’s so bad you have to like it shows”.
Despite its short run, the series had two weekly installments for most of its tenure, giving the show a total of 120 episodes (the equivalent of roughly five regular seasons). It currently airs on the AmericanLife TV Network and on BBC Four in the UK. This show is literally considered a TV classic, and you may be interested in checking out some of the big name stars that made appearances and some of the show’s history.
Anyways the intro to the Batman TV show is probably plenty to get an idea what this show is about. Of course watching the show is never a substitute. This show isn’t necessarily as bad as I make it out. Your kids would probably love it as it is for kids for the most part it is so silly. BAM POW SOCK ZOK!!!!

Also, this video was going around quite a bit during the election season from the show. It was said to be a perfect example of a debate between Obama and McCain. I somewhat agree.

I used to idolize Batman. I was a great fan of Batman especially the cartoon Batman. But the movies were awesome also. I feel that noone else could have played the part of Adam West better than he himself.
