    This was one of the best campiest shows of the 1960’s. It was a phenomenon at the time. The list of actors and actresses that were guest criminals is astounding. Everyone wanted to be part of Batman. The show was only on 3 years with 120 episodes yet everyone knows this show and the theme song over 60 years later. How many shows in tv history can say that. Not many!! Not many at all.

    • @markfryer9880
      @markfryer9880 Před měsícem +1

      I think that it being filmed in colour had a lot to do with it's first success. Take for example the difference between the pilot of Get Smart, filmed in black and white, and the rest of the series filmed in colour. The pilot looks so aged and that was the same for other shows filmed in black and white. They may have had initial success but they weren't going to succeed as well in syndication once shows filmed in colour reached the syndication stage.
      It is thus constant repeating of shows in syndication which has built up a vast audience with familiarity with these shows.
