When I first saw "Enter Batgirl, Exit Penguin" in September 1967, I remember I felt some sense of letdown after Season 2. I liked seeing the two episodes a week, and the idea of having Batgirl did not initially sit well with me.
Fast forward exactly 48 years later.
I had just moved out of a house I had to leave, because my landlord was foreclosed on, and I was remembering Yvonne Craig and this episode when I stopped by Congress Park in Saratoga Springs, NY. She had died the month before, and I had met her in person twice in 2006.
Looking at the episode tonight, I am struck by how really good this episode was. Very tightly constructed, and I really liked how Batgirl came off. It was more like a Season 1 episode in that it was more serious. But it is slightly dated, because of how sexist the Sixties were, and I think the series should have been rebooted from the ground up. But that is my view, for better or worse.
Anyway, it was good to see Yvonne!!! RIP!!!
