To put it in other words what I'm trying to find out is after Batman ran from January. to May in the first season there was reruns scheduled I believe of every episode 17 weeks and I'm just trying to find out where they actually shown the same Wednesday and Thursday nights and what episode during those summer months of the first reruns of the first season of Batman ran on what date.

Interesting the last rerun was Penguin. This would be another reason for not using The Penguin's Nest as the season premier. Pengui two weeks in a row. I still think they chose Archer because of the Batboat.

Interesting that the first two arcs of the series were the last two sets of reruns.

Right, Penguin was last episode of the season, he was in the movie, and then he was also in the last rerun of the summer. Agree about the Batboat being the reason for choosing Archer. There was also that suggestion that it might have been an attempt to ride the coattails of an Art Carney appearance elsewhere. Too bad the episodes themselves weren't very good! Part two has its moments (Alfred as Batman, the traffic cop's lecture), but part one.... brrr.
