<p>H and I were just talking about the Batman TV show from when we were young. Remember all the old villains, Catwoman and The Joker and the Penguin, etc. ?</p>
<p>Does any one know if copies of those old episodes are available any where? I would love to get my hands on them to watch with the family on a cold, snowy night!</p>
<p>I remember them a little; I wasn’t allowed to watch much TV, so I had to see it at friends’ houses or watch TV when my mom was out. Boy was I happy when she got a job and wasn’t home when I got home from school!</p>
<p>I googled them, and it doesn’t appear they are available on DVD. There seem to be some on youtube, which I try to avoid.</p>
<p>Netflix has Batman: The Movie (1966) which stars Adam West and Burt Ward, and Lee Meriwether as Catwoman. Also Cesar Romero, Frank Gorshin. Some of the same flavor as the TV show. I’ve always liked the part where one of the villains dehydrates the UN Security Council members.</p>
<p>I remember Julie Newmar. Mee-YOW! There will never be another Catwoman, as far as my heart is concerned.</p>
<p>There were some Batman episodes on HULU…but I have not seen them lately. Try Youtube as well. I loved the old BATMAN. It was just dripping with sly humor and irony.
And I loved it when Adam West would do the Batman dance.</p>
<p>I can still remember when my friend’s mother told us there was going to be a Batman show on TV in the new season. We were looking forward to that and even though they ended up very cheesy we still watched them anyway. </p>
<p>I randomly saw a batmobile sitting on the side of the street a couple of years ago and stopped to go check it out (there are actually a number of replica batmobiles around).</p>

<p>This was a personal favorite show of mine when I was a kid which of course led me to die laughing when Robert Smigel created and SNL ran The Ambiguously Gay Duo cartoon (who by the way are played by Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell).</p>
<p>ucsd<em>ucla</em>dad - I work in Newport Beach and a tenant in our building has a client that owns one of the BatMobile’s…I took several photos of myself with it. It’s black with red outlines and is H-O-T stuff. </p>
<p>I may just need to buy the DVDs for myself.</p>

Never knew that!! Learn new things every day!!!</p>
<p>Batman ! How funny !! My best friend when I was little was the boy next door. His father was afraid he would be a sissy for hanging out with a girl. We always had to play the games he chose ( probably why I never was into Barbies and baby dolls ) We used to play Batman and the batcar was a big red chair in his family living room. We would flip the cushion up…guess who always got to drive and be Batman 
His father was relieved that he wasn’t a sissy-boy just for hanging out with me</p>
<p>How many of the villains can we remember? There was The Joker, The Riddler, Catwoman, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze…</p>
<p>I always thought the Joker was the scariest and I had a hard time with Catwoman, as I’d never thought a female character would be a villain.</p>
<p>Wasn’t Catwoman played by the late, great Eartha Kitt? Or am I thinking of another villain? My friends and I loved her. So much more entertaining than most of the women on TV in the 60’s (except for my idol, Emma Peel).</p>
<p>I’ve got a number of episodes on VHS that I taped during a special back when my kids were little. They loved those shows. They especially loved to read the words on the screen “POW” “ZAP” “BAM” etc. The first BATMAN movie came out about the same time. Son (3yrs old) wore his batman shirt and cape everywhere ! H hated the thing and didn’t understand how little kids that age loved costumes and watching shows over and over. We actually had arguments about letting him wear it.</p>
<p>It was on twice a week when I was in high school - it was all we talked about during lunch the next day. Julie Newmar also played Catwoman, Frank Gorshin was The Riddler, Cesar Romero was The Joker, and Burgess Merideth was The Penguin. I am amazed at some of the guest stars per imdb: ["Batman"</a>; (1966) - Full cast and crew](<a href=“Batman (TV Series 1966–1968) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb”>Batman (TV Series 1966–1968) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb). Sure don’t remember them all! Ethel Merman, Art Carney, Bruce Lee, Tallulah Bankhead - wow!</p>
<p>It was running on one of the cable channels a few years ago and I yelled for DS to come in - he couldn’t stop laughing at the cartoon “sound effects” and still enjoys seeing them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>According to IMDb, Julie Newmar played Catwoman in thirteen episodes and Eartha Kitt in four.</p>
<p>I know that youtube links are a no no on CC. So I encourage all you Bat-fans to go to youtube and search “batman dancing”. Same bat-time, same bat-channel. (remember the sign off?)</p>
<p>Marilyn–yes, the twice a week was what made it so cool–they’d be caught in the impssible to get away from impending death at the end of one, and get out of it at the beginning of the next. Which is why you needed to tune in “same bat time, same bat channel” to find out how they got out!</p>
<p>Didn’t catwoman fall into the nuclear reactor or whatever powered the Bat Cave? I remember that as being really scary.</p>
<p>Holy uranium, garland!!</p>
<p>Batman the series has not been released. If anyone offers it, it is pirated copies, and would be a great risk on the reliability/legality of the company offering them for sale, and the reliability of the dvd’s themself.</p>

<p>Lee Merriweather (‘The Time Tunnel’) also played Catwoman on the show. Many fans of the Batman comics hated the show because of the campyness. They wanted the 1930-40s brooding “Dark Knight,” which the character has reverted to with the revamp of the movie franchise. For me the show was mas o menos. I enjoyed it like most kids of the day. My favorite character was Burgess Meredith as the Penguin. For the record, actor Adam West for years was bitter and blamed the show for typecasting him. People forgot that he was a dramatic actor (‘The Young Philadelphians’ and the TV series ‘The Detectives’). He finally realized he could make a living (like Clayton Moore, the Lone Ranger) off his TV show rep.</p>
