"Batman" debuts 1966
Everyone's favorite super-hero show, Batman, aired its first episode Hi Diddle Riddle, January 12, 1966. The show featured a theme song to which we know the all words...word, rather and took 'camp' to heights never achieved before or since. It starred Adam West and Burt Ward as the Dynamic Duo. Throughout its three season run, a galaxy of stars appeared, such as Frank Gorshin as the Riddler, Cesar Romero as the Joker, Burgess Meredith as the Penguin, and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman.
Other guests were Vincent Price, Caroline Jones, Bruce Lee, Ethel Merman, Liberace, Roddy McDowall, Joan Collins and Lee Meriwether.
Remember 'some days you just can't get rid of a bomb'? The shark jumping out of the water and clamping on Batman's leg?
