Re: Burgess Meredith in a 1943 WW II Training Film: How to Behave in Britain

Besides the Londinium episodes, the beginning made me think of Penguin's movie scam caper.

Re: My Ranking of the '66 Molls

1975 (Kojak's second season) marked the first year of the Emmy for best guest appearance and they lumped comedy and drama together. Cloris Leachman and Zohra Lampert tied for the award that year, with Lampert's appearance coming in a Kojak episode where she played a Gypsy involved in a bank robbery....

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.
