Batman is a 1960s American live action television series, based on the DC comic book character of the same name. It starred Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin — two crime-fighting heroes who defend Gotham City. It aired on the ABC network for three seasons from January 12, 1966, to March 14, 1968. The show was aired twice weekly for its first two seasons and weekly for the third, with a total of 120 episodes produced during its run. The program was known for camp style, its upbeat theme music and relatively simplistic youth-aimed moral lessons, which included championing the importance of using seat belts, doing homework, eating vegetables, and drinking milk among children.
The series focuses on the adventures of Batman and Robin; although the lives of their alter-egos, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson are typically shown, it is usually only briefly in the context of their being called away on superhero business, or in circumstances where they need to employ their secret identities to assist in their crime-fighting. The "Dynamic Duo" typically come to the aid of the Gotham City Police upon the latter being stumped by a supervillain. Throughout the episodes, Batman and Robin have to deduce clues and discover the supervillain's plan, and also figure out how to thwart that plan and capture the criminal.
The following is an episode list for the 1960s Batman television series. It also provides production notes and a list of notable guest stars.
Episodes aired on consecutive days. Generally, the two episodes in a given week were a single storyline. The rare three part episodes cause a few exceptions.
The twice per week schedule and the general use of multipart stories continued from the previous season.
In Season 3, the format of episodes was somewhat at variance with previous seasons. Airings were reduced to a single night per week and true multi-part stories were rare. At the conclusion of each story, the guest villains of the next story would usually make an uncredited appearance in the final scene. For example, Egghead is seen riding into town, literally, at the end of "Louie, the Lilac". A notable "spin" on this idea were the "linked" episodes "Ring Around the Riddler" and "The Wail of the Siren". In "Ring Around the Riddler", the Siren has an "introductory" scene assisting the Riddler in his criminal caper and briefly mentioning having her own plans for Commissioner Gordon. Batman subsequently defeats the Riddler, and the Siren returns in the tag to start her own caper, which is the basis of "The Wail of the Siren", really a separate story altogether. Three major cast changes occurred for the final season: Yvonne Craig joined as Batgirl, and Eartha Kitt replaced Julie Newmar as Catwoman (though an unidentified body double in the penultimate episode "The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra" returned Catwoman to being Caucasian), while ill health reduced Madge Blake's role as Harriet Cooper to a couple of cameo appearances.
