shadowkatThis is Day #20 of the 30 Days of Television Challenge.
The prompt is A show from your childhood that you enjoyed or remember vividly
I'm going to pick one that I haven't picked in a previous meme.
After school, my best friend and I would race home and watch "Batman" on her big color television set. And in her family room, where she'd get snacks. Her parents worked, so we often had the house to ourselves or if her mom was home - she'd leave us alone to watch.
This was in the 1970s, it was re-runned at 3pm. I didn't tend to see much in evening television series because I was...well in bed by 8:30, and television shows started at 8 on the east coast.
I'm picking this one - because we went all the way up to a gas station to see Batman and Robin in person, and were horribly disappointed, because Robin had an afro, and clearly wasn't Robin.

If you are COVID-currently into intelligent, well-crafted fluff provided by very talented people, I'd be checking out the originals.
( A quick search indicates Amazon Prime has them available, there are probably other sources. Macnee/Rigg eps start in 1965, which is Season 4. I notice that Amazon states these are in "HD". Not sure what that means, as that didn't exist in the 60s. Aspect ratio would be the old TV 4x3 format, and '65's were in B&W. )
If you do viddy these, by all means let us know what you think!
