Off the top of my head: The Sport of Penguins/A Horse of Another Color - Penguin buying a horse destined to be turned into glue to enter him in a race, Batman and Robin getting pasted to the Batmobile, lots of good stuff. Penguin is a Girl's Best Friend/Penguin Sets a Trend/Penguin's Disastrous End ...

Looking forward to checking this out. Before I do, I'll share my random thoughts on this episode, which may agree or disagree with some of your points. I put this episode in the 'One of the best' categories. I'm probably alone at this board in that I'm not a superhero guy, but I love absurdist humor...

While the book does give us some insight into what it was like to go from nothing to superfame to typecast purgatory, is indisuputabily full of inaccuracies and hyperbole -- not to mention much more (in terms of both quantity and cringe-inducing detail) about his sexual conquests and misadventures ...

Great thread topic and I will be interested to see the responses. I, too, never noticed this until I read Ward's book. As mentioned in another recent thread, I took a lot of that book's content with a huge grain of salt. However, when the DVD's came out, I can recall on multiple occasions thinking, ...

Perhaps trying to get this music released on CD is the stumbling block? Unless you are looking for some form of profit for your endeavors, which is of course understandable, rights holders may be apprehensive to work with an outsider. Many new cars and computers are not equipped with CD players. Whe...

Sorry to hear of her passing. I had the Astin Riddler episodes on just last week, and thought she was very good in them.

PENGUIN: "Good day to you sirs, I am Commodore Schmidlap!" ROBIN: "Oh brother, who does he think he's kidding! That's the Penguin!" BATMAN: "Obviously..." ROBIN: "Gosh, who's that pretty Russian journalist?" BATMAN: "I have no idea, but I think I'm in lo...

There's actually quite a few things foreshadowed in Batman from the 60's that have come to fruition today. Of course most of that is out of necessity and not directly influenced by Batman. But it's interesting to see things that may have seemed impossible in the 60's are now reality. For instance, w...

So that brings up the age old question, Ginger or Mary Ann? Mary Ann, but that's because I always go more for the 'girl next door.' I've even seen a similar type question raised about Jan Smithers and Loni Anderson from WKRP in Cincinnati. Smithers, the 'girl next door' often does well, like Mary A...

I'm not as up on these things as some here, so if anyone can share the real story, or a link, I'd be most appreciative. I couldn't imagine they would actually film something as dangerous as what was suggested. From Joel Eisner: “There are however a number of myths about this episode that were sprea...

Riddler was watching them get turned into human candles, albeit through a periscope in another room.

And probably got more and more outlandish with each telling! Definitely how tall tales come to be, including the infamous tiger pit story . In the last interview I heard with Ward, the interviewer was good at asking him about the accident that happened on the Otto Preminger Mr. Freeze episode, but ...

Folks, in keeping with our board's G Rating, let's shy away from any discussion about the sexual escapades or debates over physicality claims and so forth. Thank you. :) Sorry, my bad; won't happen again! :oops: :oops: Great post Batwinged Hornet, and as I'm sure we are all aware, 'Exaggeration or ...

It's been years since I read it, but as we were alluding to in the movie thread, there is definitely a good deal of exaggeration. If memory serves, he suggests he was likely to get Dustin Hoffman's part in a big movie, but was contractually obligated to Batman. Could be true, but I'm not sure he had...

I think the movie holds up well after 50+ years. Granted I'm probably one of the few here that really digs Batman when it gets really outlandish as it did in Season 3. But the movie seems to strike a nice balance between high camp and being somewhat serious. My random thoughts: I guess there just we...
