[Joel Ross]

Interesting read.

"5 Reasons the '60s Batman TV Show Is Better Than You Think"

The Cracked article.

Interesting, particularly how perception of the show has changed; it's gone from being something to be distanced from, to something celebrated.

Yes. My how times have changed. Wish it had been this way in the 1970's Chicago area. I know many people such as Scott have told me they weren't picked on in school for liking Batman (our series, the only one at the time) but I spent my entire school life (1967 through 1981) learning to be a closet Batman fan. My entire fourth grade was spent hearing children mocking me at every turn, singing nananana FATMAN! and other such belittling things when I "accidentally" let it slip that it was my favorite show. I suppose if I liked the comic books of the time that may have gone better for me? I don't know.

My mom found a light blue T shirt with the logo shown below at Sears when I was in 5th grade and I never wore it to school. I finally had to tell my mom it was because I would have been beaten to a pulp.

This is very much in contrast to the piece that cracked.com did on the series a few years ago. Because in the piece that i mention cracked.com didn't really have a good word to say about the series.

fwiw, I found it to be just another 'it's so bad, it's good' take.

Just to let people know, the article has some pretty rough language that is not kid friendly.
