Today, January 11, 2011, it is 45 years since the Batman television series debuted on the ABC network (with the Big Screen "Batman: The Movie", featuring the mostly the same cast and comedic attitude, following shortly thereafter). The series aired for two seasons, and consisted of 120 half-hour episodes, most of which were two-part story lines.
Here are a promotional stills and posters from Back in the Day to mark the ocassion!
I loved the "Batman" series when I was a kid, and I totally did not get the humor in it until a few years later when I was a teenager. My father (who was not hip at all) would be guffawing in his armchair when I watched it, and when I asked him what was so funny, he wouldn't tell me. Later he admitted that he thought my being so enthralled with it was pretty funny too! Thanks for the memories.
