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: Batman Ratings
The conclusion of the Riddler wax museum caper (Give 'Em the Axe) was up against--with Frank Gorshin as guest star.

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.

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #128: Roast Godzilla
In regard to the mailbag segment, the mention of Zsa Zsa's ubiquitous presence on seemingly every talk show reminded me that she had been unofficially banned from Mike Douglas' show for a few years following this notorious on-air incident from May 1966 (from a March 1967 article): Screenshot 2020-01...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #125 Minerva: Holy self-parody!
I should note that reserve MLB outfielder Al Ferrara played Adonis. He also portrayed one of the all-time favorite henchmen of the podcast, Trap Door on Black Widow. Much like another Dodger, Jim Lefebvre, was one of the henchmen of John Astin's Riddler. That brings to mind the Temper Tonic argumen...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #125 Minerva: Holy self-parody!
Some more points: Oddly enough, despite an age difference of 16 years, Zsa Zsa was a friend, or at least an acquaintance of Joan Collins and set her up with the son of a Latin American dictator circa 1958. You guys made an interesting observation about Horwitz saying part of his philosophy was to n...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #125 Minerva: Holy self-parody!
Few 60s series suffering from a similar, rapid downslide ever recovered to reclaim early glory; one can see a similar, drastic decline with Lost in Space, The Untouchables, Bewitched and Combat , to name a few. Once a lack of creative interest and/or investment abandoned ship, there was no way to t...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #123: Dr. Cassandra makes the show disappear
Lupino's British roots stem from the fact that her father, Stanley, was an actor from there. Interestingly, her father threw a party for actress Thelma Todd, who was good friends with Ida, in December 1935 at the Trocadero in Los Angeles. The following morning, Todd was mysteriously found dead, whic...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #125 Minerva: Holy self-parody!
Also, Jones actually was the third choice for MQOD. I do not have it on me, but I have seen Dozier correspondence offering the part to Arlene Dahl. It's not hard to guess why. In 1953, Dahl played the titular character in the movie The Diamond Queen . Hoo, boy. During at least the first two seasons...

Gordon mentions his wife and so does O'hara' when talking to Alfred in his office midway through the second part of the Marsha episode. So she was still "living" at that point.

Re: So were any of the 66 villians destined to be awful?
Greetings! I am resurrecting this zombie thread from 2015 because I am rewatching episodes and “The Puzzler” guy was basically unwatchable. What was he supposed to be? Wait, don’t tell me, I don’t want to know. I just wasn’t digging watching some old man with lipstick and eye shadow. The plane at t...
