Re: TO THE BATPOLES #150: “The Astrologer”: The Proto-“Zodiac” Script
From the Bat-Inbox: To clarify what I meant about the contrast between Hizzoner The Penguin and The Contaminated Cowl is this: The world is in mourning because they believe that Batman and Robin are dead, but only a few weeks ago (presumably), three people showed up to watch Batman give a campaign ...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #149: Alan Napier: "Not Just Batman's Butler"
I think part of the annoyance with the book stems from the fact that the title obviously cites his role on Batman, but then offers a pedestrian summary of that 2+ year period. To be brutally honest, any interest in an Alan Napier bio would be next to nil if someone else had played Alfred.

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #137: Yvonne Craig: We get a kick out of this memoir
so she struck up a conversation with one of Elvis' "henchmen" (did they wear black turtlenecks with the titles of Elvis songs in white lettering on their chests?) Henchman: 'Elvis, we put Batman and Robin in the deathtrap.' Elvis: 'Thank you. Thank you very much.' "Elvis has left the...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #137: Yvonne Craig: We get a kick out of this memoir
Thanks guys for the lively discussion, thanks Scott for the link, thanks Dr. Shimel for all the vintage stories and thanks Mr. Glee for the last one. I had read before the story of her nixing the proposed 'Pat Craig' moniker. I can picture her putting her hands on her hips when they asked her to ch...

Re: Thoughts/Ideas particularly about the third season and what could have been.
I've mentioned before that Dough-zier started ramping up his apathy once the 1966 Christmas season passed, knowing that was the last gravy train before syndication had left the station. From there, his only goal was to get to the magic 100 episodes to make that happen, which required taking a meat c...

Stanley Ralph Ross decided to turn the show into one big joke.

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #133: Scott Sebring is here! Holy Bat-cyclopedia!
in The Joker Goes to School, Joker notes how the botched electrocution of the Duo is similar to the East Coast blackout that had taken place roughly a month earlier. Penguin's seduction technique was also in evidence in the final episode of the Zodiac teamup with Joker. He fools Venus (not a difficu...

Re: Inger Stevens signed to appear on show?
The S2 episode of Egghead had something of a farm-based plot--in the second half anyway, so perhaps that began as a vehicle for Stevens and was then re-worked for Vincent Price. Of course, that ep included the egg shampoo Burt Ward got--reportedly for being a jerk.

Re: Board Appreciation
Hopefully, this all-too-real current situation has somewhere remotely the same sort of conclusion as the Duo's battle against the Lygerian fruit fly.

Re: Frank Gorshin on Buzzr
The gap of no show on the 24th was due to Thanksgiving, when CBS was showing the Lions getting pounded by the 49ers, 41-14.chrisbcritter wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 3:33 am Four of Frank's episodes are on YouTube; his opponent was Angie Dickinson. Dates were November 21, 22, 23, and 25, 1966.
