Batman: Smack in the Middle (1966)
Season 1, Episode 2
8/10
Holy Cowls, What Have They Done?
26 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This second installment of the series was the top rated that week. Just when you think the first show was great, this one is just as good. The biggest bat-blunder might just be the tragic death of Jill St. John. I am sure the popular actress was not available for more shows, but it might have left a bad taste in some fans getting rid of her so soon.

The humor gets even a little sharper in this one and of course the ending of it with Batman dreaming of St. John and the possible demise of Riddler is classic. Another thing to love is the scene of Harriet catching Alfred in a compromising situation.

Holy Butlers, the show is just getting started. We are not even up to waiting to the next show on the same Bat Channel yet. So much more good stuff to come.
