Batman: Smack in the Middle (1966)
Season 1, Episode 2
6/10
If You Are Into Goofy, Campy TV, Then This For You !!!
9 May 2006
Warning: Spoilers
TV ushered in a New Era with the advent of Batman . A childish, pure tedious comic relief look at comic book heroes and the villains they pursued , scattered with Guest Stars, wall to wall. Too many to mention !

Not before or since, has the BOOB tube, labored under slim to none scripts, and a total lack of infrastructure . Twice a week, for the first 2 years,Wed. and Thurs., Batman would vault into your house, and vomit out this goofy and campy look at good vs. evil . That is its' accomplishment.

This program has the dubious distinction of going from first to 66th in one season . A Jan.1966, second season replacement,I do not remember what series it replaced , but Batman jumped to No. 1 because of its' novel approach, and lack of seriousness, aided by Robin, the Boy Wonder(Burt Ward), Batman (Adam West) , secured their fame to shame, as the worst duo of all time , maybe with the exception of Milli Vannili.

Be that as it may, Molly(Jill St. John) was the only character to ever expire on the show , so there. It happened in the Bat Cave, but her career moved forward.

And so should you, watch this show only if you fear the apocalypse or are on life support.
