A way to show offer Yvonne's ample dancing skills.

The problem is they're showing two eps at 6 a.m. on Saturday.

Gleason was the original Chester Riley on The Life of Riley, but the show was cancelled after one season-supposedly over season length/sponsorship issues. A few years later, William Bendix reprised the role and it lasted five years, becoming the person associated with the role. One potential product...

The entire first season is being shown:

Wow! Will have to put that film on our to-do list, right under "Skidoo"! Thanks A few years ago, I had the opportunity to see Skidoo and was very disappointed. Obviously, I had the idea that this was a "so bad it's good" film, but this was just dreck of the highest order. It has...

FWIW, this was the same time period that Muhammad Ali was fighting his re-classification.

There's always the Julie didn't appear in S3 because of McKenna's Gold myth...

The "Batman is fat" was actually used as an early Joker insult: "Fatman and Boy Blunder"

"Batman, I'm a doctor..."

Sherry Jackson (AKA Pauline) once noted that any time she was playing a bad girl on screen, she was seen smoking. Obviously that edict didn't transfer to Batman, but she was menacing enough in that role without the stink of nicotine.

Actually, METV just replayed the episode a few weeks ago

It appears that "It's Getting Harder" was a popular song lyric in 1967. Earlier that year, one of the last scenes in "To Sir With Love" had this song from Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders:
