And, to harken back to your original podcast review, no Aunt Hilda means NO LIZARD!

Re: SCRIPT: "Marsha, The Queen of Diamonds" by Tom Cannan, Jr, and Jack Cash

There is not much I can add to Scott's excellent critique. I will echo it and add this--Not only is it absurd that Batman lets himself be captured by Marsha without any failsafes or backup plans (although, to be fair, there were none in Sherman's rewrite either, other than his own will power), it is...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES special: "MOVIN' WITH NANCY"

Thanks for the early Christmas present, sirs. I really enjoyed this! It was quite fun to listen to your take on it. Certainly it is a time capsule of the 1967 zeitgeist, much like Batman. I could even picture Nancy S. as a moll. 8-)

Re: Differences between Batgirl Pilot cowls

Looking at the scene in the 'presentation reel,' I agree with Scott. It appears to me to be a shadow, not a strap. That's just my interpretation. I tend to doubt that Bill 'Dough-zier' would spring for two cowls in something that wasn't intended to be seen by the public. But again, that's just my in...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #174: Women in Season 2, pt 1: From the Childish to the Bada$$

To add to my previous comment, I would say the attitude toward the molls in the first half of season 2 is equally misogynistic as season 1, but with the unfortunate added caveat that they are less important. In one sense, perhaps, that could be construed as a good thing. They are not being treated a...

Much thanks to epaddon for finding and attaching the document. My bad for 'mis-remembering'--it actually was Horwitz' letter I had recalled.

Re: Sonny and Cher

Great job finding the document and contemporaneous 'clips,' A. Pennyworth, and thanks for the context, Ben. Minor correction, it is Werner Klemperer. I think I said this a while back--Sonny and Cher appeared around that time in a Man From UNCLE episode. http://preppiesoftheapocalypse.blogspot.com/20...

Excellent show. I look forward to Nancy's next appearance. I always enjoy her perspective and insight when she drops by. Let's face it, the elephant in the room is the one you mentioned in your 'Slide' episode of many moons ago--Charles Hoffman. As with everything else post-Semple, there is no clear...

Re: Arlene Dahl dies at 96; Was offered Marsha role

I have heard Dahl’s name bandied about, but I didn’t not realise the extent of the nail-on-head reference point of “The Diamond Queen”. This definitely smacks of where Dozier’s head was at with S2’s “made for TV” villains. Other notable cases in point being Van Johnson/The Minstrel and his prior Pi...

Arlene Dahl dies at 96; Was offered Marsha role

I'm putting this on the regular board because I have seen the document which backs up the title of my thread. Sadly, actress Arlene Dahl died on Monday at age 96. https://variety.com/2021/film/news/arlene-dahl-dead-one-life-to-live-lorenzo-lamas-1235121434/ Dahl was in films in the late 1940s and 19...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #171 "Adam West Naked": Back to "Back to the Batcave"

It's also that a lot of people who are fans of the show flat-out aren't interested in discussing the episodes themselves. I'm not knocking, I'm just saying. I mean whatever floats your boat. To each his/her own. But it's the truth. The show not being available on home video for a long time had somet...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #172: “Mr Zero”: A Dozier/Semple dead end

Getting back to the topic at hand, I agree with what Paul said--there would've been a lot of hand-wringing among the writers about the lack of alien technology actually used. That's why, I think, this smacks of something post-season 1 Batman. The phenomenon has happened, it's time to cash in, and Se...
