New bad guy, The Archer, appears.
Why they decided to begin the season with this episode is anybody's guess?? There is a general sloppy feeling in the acting and direction. The jokes mostly don't work and there are just too many jokes compared to what we got in the last season.
But don't give up on this one, 1966 Batman is still 1966 Batman and even when the series sometimes drops a bit in quality, there is always something to save the day.
The Nelson Riddle music is good in both parts.
Part two picks up with an oddly amusing scene where Alfred must fill in for missing Batman and poor old Gordon can't figure out the change in person.
But, all things considered, the soon-to-come Minstrel two-parter would have made a better season opener.
