production. Howard Duff later appeared with then-wife Ida Lupino in Season-3

Bruce, Dick and Alfred watch an episode of The Green Hornet (ABC,
1966-67)---prior to it being interrupted by The Joker's televised
ultimatum!---little suspecting that a future 2-part segment ("A Piece of the
Action/Batman's Satisfaction" [#9751, Mar. 1-2, 1967]) will pit Batman and Robin
against The Green Hornet and Kato!   
   
NOVEMBER 17, 1966

System once again in Episode #9733-Pt. 3, "The Penguin Declines."   
   
The Alfcycle appears again in Episode #9729-Pt. 1, "Come Back Shame", and in
Episode #9715-Pt. 2, "The Catwoman Goeth (a.k.a.) A Stitch in Time".   
   
NOVEMBER 16, 1967 
   
"Surf's Up! Joker Under!" (prod. #1714) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as
the 104th episode of Batman. 
   
The surfing footage used in this segmant was borrowed from the 1966 Cinema V
film The Endless Summer.

The Jokemobile appears for the second and last time on Batman in this episode. 
 
   
During the surfing challenge, Batman is threatened by a shark. To counter it, he
makes use of Shark Repellent Batspray--something which was first employed in the
1966 movie. 

Skip Ward (Riptide), one of The Joker's henchmen in this episode also portrayed
a character named Gil in Easy Come, Easy Go (1967) starring Elvis Presley. Gil
was a character who helped try to steal Elvis' prospected sunken treasure.

Been away awhile!
NOVEMBER 9, 1966 
 
"Green Ice" (prod. #9725-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on ABC as the 53rd
episode of Batman. 
 
The controversial Otto Preminger (the series' second Mr. Freeze) had a problem
to solve before appearing on this show: he owed $11,000 in back dues to the
Screen Actor's Guild, since he hadn't acted in years!

Preminger's attitude made him the most despised man on the set; he treated women
lewdly and kept irritating the other cast members. Eli Wallach replaced
Preminger after the producers decided not to bring him back! However, Joel
Eisner's recently updated Official Batman Batbook states otherwise.
 
Speaking of irritating, how many times could Preminger say "Wild!" in a single
episode?! Quite a few, apparently...

Notice that Mr. Freeze is now wearing a freeze collar instead of a helmet. Also
notice also that now Mr. Freeze only has a freeze gun. In the first season his
gun could also fire heat/flame beams which would have been rather useful against
The Dynamic Duo here.   
 
Director George Waggner (many Batman shows credit him as "george waGGner")
directed Lon Chaney Jr. as Larry Talbot, The Wolf Man in The Wolf Man
(Universal, 1941). Dee Hartford (Miss Iceland) is the sister of Eden Hartford
who at the time was the wife of Groucho Marx.   
 
We learn here that Mayor Lindseed's wife is named Linda, but in a third-season
segment he apparently divorced her and remarried, because he then had a wife
named Millie!   
 
Here is yet another Bat-episode to feature a character other than Bruce Wayne to
dress as Batman. Others to feature pseudo-Batmen are Episode #8707-Pt. 1,
"Instant Freeze," #8711-Pt. 2, "When the Rat's Away the Mice Will Play,"
#9705-Pt. 2, "Walk the Straight and Narrow," and #9747-Pt. 2, "The Joker's
Epitaph."   
 
NOVEMBER 10, 1966 
 
"Deep Freeze" (prod. #9725-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on ABC as the
54th episode of Batman.   
 
Charles O'Donnell (TV Newsman) later went on to find his niche as the announcer
for a great many game shows, including Wheel Of Fortune.   
 
NOVEMBER 9, 1967 
 
"How To Hatch A Dinosaur" (prod. #1705-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on
ABC as the 103rd episode of Batman. 
 
The Neosaurus costume was hand-me-down wardrobe from the January 11, 1967 "The
Questing Beast" episode of Lost In Space (CBS, 1965-68), which aired on CBS
Wednesday nights opposite Batman from January 1966 to August 1967. Since
Twentieth Century-Fox TV was involved with both productions, many of the sound
effects heard on Batman are the same as Irwin Allen's science fiction adventure.

I will be attending the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Aberdeen, Maryland
Aug. 27-29. Bob Hastings and Lee Meriwether (Catwoman) will be there and both
were among the cast of BATMAN. (James Best will also be there but he was only in
GREEN HORNET.) There are vendors there who offer the complete BATMAN TV series
from 16mm Kodak film chain transfers. I bought a set last year and the picture
quality is gorgeous and they are truly uncut with previews for next week's
episodes and "place commercial here" on the screen when appropriate. Those sets
come recommended. The vendor who created the set even sells the 16mm reels at
the event. He brings a dozen reels every year and they always sell. He has been
liquidating them slowly since he's been done transferring them to DVD.

For sale on dvd,Batman 60's tv series all 3 season 120 episodes uncut from
studio masters.Comes on 10 disc set uncut has origignal ABc opening,each episode
runs 25 min each,has next week villian at the end,menu selection,quality is
9+,great sound.Comes with 4 bonus dvds:
Bonus #1:ABC Fall preview special 1966 hosted by BatMan&Robin,Batman TV&Movie
promo's&Green Hornet Pilot.
Bonus#2:Batman 1966 Movie
Bonus #3:Batman Cast Reuion 1988
Bonus #4:Return To The Batcave Movie.
14-dvds total=$29.95+shipping

The Adventures Of Batman&Robin 1967 Cartoon 3-dvd set=$13.00 9+ in quality.

Payment by Paypal.Email for info.Thanks.

I just wanted to take a minute and say hello to the group, I loved this show as
a kid and as an adult I still find it to be just as entertaining. If only the
powers that be would get together and get this released on DVD.

I know that John Astin and Frank Gorshin both played the Riddler...but wasn't
there a third actor also?

I just came across a number of letters to and from Bill Dozier which I purchased
off ioffer. The are originals. From Tallulah Bankhead, Eli Wallach, Edward G.
Robinson, Greer Garson and others. Anyone know of the best place I can post them
on the internet so the most people can browse and read them? I am scanning them
all this afternoon.

Two cast members of BATMAN will be attending the same convention. Bob Hastings
played a police officer in one episode and Lee Meriwether played Catwoman in the
big-screen movie. For Hastings, best known as Lt. Carpenter on McHale's Navy,
this is supposed to be his first autograph signing on the East Coast. The event
is the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Aberdeen, Maryland, Aug. 27-29,
2009. (http://www.MidAtlanticNostalgiaConvention.com). They even arranged with
the film studios to screen the big screen movie at their drive-in theater
outside in the hotel parking lot on Friday night at Sunset. For Batman fans,
this looks like fun!

Sorry I lagged behind again...here's nearly a month's worth of Almanacs I owe
ya:

Batman TV Almanac (4/12-18/09)

APRIL 13, 1966

"The Curse Of Tut" (prod. #8729-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as
the 27th episode of Batman.

Victor Buono made his debut as King Tut on Batman in these episodes, which were
the first of the series to feature an original major antagonist for Batman, one
not previously found in the comic books!

Olan Soule (the Newscaster) later provided the voice of the animated Batman in
Filmation's The Batman-Superman Hour and The Adventures Of Batman from 1968 to
1970, and the many incarnations of Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends between 1973
and 1984; Soule also played Aristotle "Tut" Jones in the Captain Midnight
television series.

Emmanuel Thomas (Reporter) returned to play another Gotham news journalist in
the 1966 Batman movie: Mr. Stanley of The Gotham Globe.  

APRIL 14, 1966

"The Pharoah's In A Rut" (prod. #8729-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on
ABC as the 28th episode of Batman.

The "Batman" cover issue of TV Guide announced that Robert Morely was slated to
portray King Tut, which turned out to be completely unfounded.  

The ambulance was later used as The Ghostbusters' car 18 years later.  

APRIL 12, 1967

"The Purr-Fect Crime," Episode #19 of Batman (prod. #8721-Pt. 1, aired on ABC
March 16 and May 11, 1966), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC.

APRIL 13, 1967

"Better Luck Next Time," Episode #20 of Batman (prod. #8721-Pt. 2, aired on ABC
March 17 and May 12, 1966), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC. 

Batman Film & TV Almanac (4/19-25/09)

APRIL 20, 1966

"The Bookworm Turns" (prod. #8717-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as
the 29th episode of Batman.

Jerry Lewis was the first cameo Gothamite in this episode during a Batclimb
("Holy Human Flies!").

Ironically, these episodes appeared during National Library Week.

Before bringing Lydia Limpet to The Batcave, The Caped Crusader, for the first
time, makes use of a can of Batgas. The can of Batawake won't be used until
Episode #8731-Pt. 2, "The Riddler's False Notion."

The outside shot of The Wayne Memorial Clock Tower is actually Big Ben (London)
at night.

APRIL 21, 1966

"While Gotham City Burns" (prod. #8717-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on
ABC as the 30th episode of Batman.

The late Roddy McDowall (The Bookworm) would become known for his role of Dr.
Cornelius in Planet Of The Apes (20th Century-Fox, 1968). He later provided the
voice of Jervis Tetch, The Mad Hatter, in several episodes of Batman: The
Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures.

It was often stated that Joan Crawford played The Printer's Devil in these
episodes; however, this occured due to a goof by one book which misspelled actor
John Crawford's name, and many TV trivia and info books have since used this
particular volume for reference without even questioning its error!

For the scene of Robin strapped to the clapper of Big Benjamin, the giant bell
in The Wayne Memorial Clock Tower, art director Serge Krizman recalled building
a belfry well set that was 40-feet high. "I couldn't find a bronze bell that was
eight-feet high so it had to be made all out of plastics," said Krizman.
Cinematographer Howie Schwartz had to resort to a 9.5mm wide-angle lens to get
it all in.

APRIL 20, 1967

"The Yegg Foes In Gotham" Episode #48 of Batman (prod. #9717-Pt. 1, from Oct.
20, 1966), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC.

APRIL 25, 1966

The motion picture version of Batman begins production at Fox Studios. It is
slated for a July 30th premiere in Austin, TX.
 
 
Last Week's Batman Film & TV Almanac (4/26-5/2/09)
 
 
APRIL 27, 1966

"Death In Slow Motion" (prod. #8731-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. EDT on ABC as
the 31st episode of Batman.

Based on "The Joker's Comedy Capers!" from Detective Comics #341 (July 1965) by
John Broome.

Francis Xavier Bushman (Mr. Van Jones) was a for-real silent film star who was
voted most popular leading man in American films from 1914-1917. A heart attack
resulting from a fall took him on August 23, 1966, scant months after his
next-to-final onscreen appearance in these episodes of Batman, at age 83.
(Coincidentally, Neil Hamilton [Commissioner Gordon] was also a silent film star
as well!)

The late Theo Marcuse (VonBloheim) portrayed Dr. Gamma in the B/W version of the
series premiere of Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea (ABC, 1964-68), "Eleven Days
to Zero" (#6008, Sep. 14, 1964).

APRIL 28, 1966

"The Riddler's False Notion" (prod. #8731-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. EDT on
ABC as the 32nd episode of Batman.

This was the final TV appearance of Frank Gorshin as The Riddler until Season 3.

Batman makes reference to The Batcopter in this episode. The Batcopter will
appear for the first time in the 1966 Batman movie.

Watch for Commissioner Gordon in The Batcave once more in Season-3 Episode
#1708, "The Wail of the Siren."

The Riddler debuted in Detective Comics #140 (October 1948), and became
perpetually forgotten in the Batman comicbook realm until Frank Gorshin's
over-the-top, Emmy-nominated portrayal of The Prince Of Puzzlers virtually made
him a star overnight on the Batman TV series, as he made the most appearances of
any Batvillain in its first season: 8.

The ledge used here as part of The Chessman Building will be resued as part of
Police Headquarters in Season-2 episode #9709-Pt. 2, "Tut's Case is Shut." This
is the second time this season Aunt Harriet Cooper celebrates her birthday (how
time flies!); the first was in Episode #8719-Pt. 2, "Batman Stands Pat."

APRIL 26, 1967

"The Thirteenth Hat," Episode #13 (!!) of Batman (prod. #8719-Pt. 1, from
February 24 and June 8, 1966), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. EDT on ABC.

APRIL 27, 1967

"Batman Stands Pat," Episode #14 of Batman (prod. #8719-Pt. 2, from February 25
and June 9, 1966), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. EDT on ABC.

APRIL 5, 1967

"Hi Diddle Riddle," the premiere episode of Batman (prod. #6028-Pt. 1, first
aired January 12 and August 24, 1966), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC.

APRIL 6, 1967

"Smack In The Middle," Episode #2 of Batman (prod. #6028-Pt. 2, first aired
 January 13 and August 25, 1966), was repeated @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC.

APRIL 6, 1966

"The Joker Trumps An Ace"  (prod. #8727-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on
ABC as the 25th episode of Batman.

Byron Keith makes his debut on the Batman TV series in his recurring role of
Mayor Lindseed. The character of Mayor Lindseed is obviously a takeoff on former
United States Congressman and New York City mayor John Lindsay.  

APRIL 7, 1966

"Batman Sets The Pace" (prod. #8727-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC

#53.

MARCH 30, 1966

"The Ring Of Wax" (prod. #8725-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as
the 23rd episode of Batman.

Based on "A Hairpin, A Hoe, A Hacksaw, A Hole in the Ground!" from Batman #53
(July 1949) by Bill Finger.  

Linda Gaye Scott (Moth) is the heiress to the Scott paper company.  

MARCH 31, 1966

"Give 'Em The Axe" (prod. #8725-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as
the 24th episode of Batman.

These segments apparently took place before Mayor Lindseed's election, as a
different mayor is in office in these episodes.  

Joey Tata, who played Tallow, went on to become best known for playing the
character, Nat, the owner of The Peach Pit on Beverly Hills 90210 (Fox,
1990-2000), where he was billed as Joe E. Tata.  

MARCH 29, 1967

"Ice Spy" (prod. #9759-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as the 93rd
episode of Batman.

Elisha Cook Jr. (Prof. Isaac Isaacson) portrayed Wilmer Cook, The Gunsel in the
1941 Warner Bros. film The Maltese Falcon.

MARCH 30, 1967

"The Duo Defy" (prod. #9759-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as the
94th episode of Batman.

This episode wrapped up a rather hectic and lengthy (60 episodes!!!!!!) second
season for Batman. It also retained the third and final appearance of Mr. Freeze
in the series (played this time by Eli Wallach).

The series' final Batclimb featured Carpet King, a cameo earned supposedly for
selling producer Bill Dozier some Persian rugs.  

The episode edits footage from the 1966 Batman movie of The Dynamic Duo flying
in The Batcopter.

Commisioner Gordon once more gives mention of his daughter, Barbara, in this
episode. Although she debuted in the comics a few months before ("The Million
Dollar Debut Of Batgirl" in Detective Comics #359, January 1967), she had yet to
debut on the TV series.

MARCH 23, 1966  

"The Penguin Goes Straight" (prod. #8723-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on
ABC as the 21st episode of Batman.  

This is the first Bat-episode directed by Leslie H. Martinson. He previously
directed Adam West in the "The Devil's Godson" episode of Colt .45 (ABC,
1957-60), and would later helm the 1966 Batman movie.

The idea of The Penguin's "going straight" has been part of the character's
history in the Bat-comics. It was previously used on numerous occasions, and
among them: Batman #41, 70, 76; and Detective Comics #171.  

For once this season, The Dynamic Duo don't stop @ Police HQ at all; instead,
they are notified by Batphone as they travel through beautiful downtown Gotham.
 

MARCH 24, 1966  

"Not Yet, He Ain't" (prod. #8723-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as
the 22nd episode of Batman.  

This marks the debut appearance of The Batcycle, as an early prototype,
constructed from a 1959 Harley Davidson with side car, rented from a Hollywood
firm in the business of supplying vehicles for movie and TV productions. It was
also the first appearance on the series of a Batvehicle other than the
omnipresent Batmobile. A more flashier Batcycle will be seen in the 1966 Batman
feature film and used throughout the rest of the TV series' run.    

The Emergency Remote-Control Ejector Button, first used in this episode, is
activated again in episode #8717-Pt. 1, "The Bookworm Turns."

MARCH 22, 1967  

"Pop Goes The Joker" (prod. #9757-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC as
the 91st episode of Batman.  

Here The Joker changes from an archcriminal with a superior intelligence to a
spoiled brat with an infantile mind!  

Actor Fritz Feld (seen here as Oliver Muzzy) played Mr. Zumdish on Lost In Space
(CBS, 1965-68); he is also the husband of Virginia "Mrs. Olson" Christine.

MARCH 23, 1967  

"Flop Goes The Joker" (prod. #9757-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC
as the 92nd episode of Batman.  

Dialog coach Milton Stark played several small roles in the series including the
second browser in these episodes, as well as the second zoologist in episode
#9733-Pt. 2, "The Joker's Hard Times", Mr. Tamber in episode #9741-Pt. 1,
"Penguin Is a Girl's Best Friend", and Irving Bracken in episode #9753-Pt. 1,
"Black Widow Strikes Again".

MARCH 16, 1966    

"The Purr-Fect Crime" (prod. #8721-Pt. 1) first aired at 7:30 p.m. (EST) on ABC
as the 19th episode of Batman.

These episodes marked the debut of Julie Newmar as The Catwoman.

Suzanne Pleshette was considered for the role of The Catwoman.

The address used for The Gato And Chat Fur Company was actually the former
Brooklyn home address of Batman staff writer Stanley Ralph Ross.  

In the comics, The Catwoman's right name was Selina Kyle--which was never used
on the TV series.

There was actually only one live tiger used on the show; the others in the pit
were of stock footage.  

This is the only time the famed Atomic Pile was seen in use.

This episode was the second one chosen by GAF ViewMaster to make into one of
their disk sets.  

MARCH 17, 1966    

"Better Luck Next Time" (prod. #8721-Pt. 2) first aired at 7:30 p.m. (EST) on
ABC as the 20th episode of Batman.

Holy Disservice!! ABC News interrupted the original broadcast of the first
episode with Julie Newmar as the sexy Catwoman with coverage of The Gemini 8
spacecraft with astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott aboard having problems
with the controls not functioning correctly. Thousands of obviously uninterested
Batfans called to complain about the interruption!

The 20,000-decibel super-amplified sound effect of Batman's Batcommunicator is
reused in Episode #8717-Pt. 1, "The Bookworm Turns". It is also the same sound
effect which emits from The Green Hornet's Hornet Sting on The Green Hornet
(ABC, 1966-67).  

MARCH 15, 1967    

"Black Widow Strikes Again" (prod. #9753-Pt. 1) first aired at 7:30 p.m. (EST)
on ABC as the 89th episode of Batman.  

This marked the swan song performance of Tallulah Bankhead (credited as Miss
Talllulah Bankhead in the submain titles); she died of pneumonia in her beloved
New York City on December 12, 1968.

MARCH 16, 1967    

"Caught In The Spider's Den" (prod. #9753-Pt. 2) first aired at 7:30 p.m. (EST)
on ABC as the 90th episode of Batman.

Take note of Batman's singing talent (?) in this segment. In real life, Adam
West cut a single, "Miranda," for 20th Century-Fox Records.

Additionally, in 1966, The Marketts' version of the series' theme charted at #17
in Billboard's top 60, while an arrangement by Neal Hefti and his Orchestra made
it to #35.
