Detective No. 27 posted:Everyone plays it completely straight too. There isn't a single wink or nudge in sight. They were real comedy pros. That's what threw me off for the show. I'd see clips and think "oh, they just picked the one bit that's weird." It wasn't until I saw a full episode that I realized they were in on the joke and went full ham the whole time.

I think a big part of me being such a humour-driven idiot is the fact that I grew up watching Batman '66, Get Smart and Rocky & Bullwinkle and didn't realize any of them were supposed to be silly comedies until much later.

flosofl posted:No. Only the 1966 movie is on Netflix/Amazon Prime If you have cable, the MeTV network also runs Batman (plus Wonder Woman, Incredible Hulk, and a bunch of other '70s SF shows) on Saturday nights. And that show is the reason I'm a comics fan today. I watched reruns when I was a kid, and that naturally led me to Batman comics.

Reruns of Batman 66 were my first exposure to the character and superheros in general too. That and a little black and white digest size reprint of "The Untold Legend of the Batman", which is still one of my favorite Batman stories. Then it was 1989 and suddenly Batman was everywhere. I didn't actually get to see it in theaters because I was seven and it was rated pg-13. My parents were very literal.

) and so I didn't get Batman The Animated Series, so my only exposure to Batman were reruns of the 66 live action show, which I was too young to identify as deliberate camp, and the Tim Burton movie. I was under the impression Batman was extremely ridiculous and dumb and didn't understand why some of my friends thought he was cool.

My brother went with a friend to watch Keaton Batman but since we were super poor people I stayed home with my mom. She felt bad and borrowed a VCR and the Batman 66 movie from a friend and I was hooked on that. They also showed it on TV quite a bit and I would watch episodes every chance I could.

I mostly watched Bats 66 over the air on a lovely CRT sitting on the floor of my aunt's basement on Sunday afternoons. Rewatching it on crisp DVD on my big LCD didn't invoke quite the same feelings.

Growing up as a kid in Canada, Global used to run BTAS and Batman 66 reruns back to back. So I was the lucky kid who got them both. I loved both versions of Batman.

I used to watch ol' Batman as part of a Saturday morning block at the start of the nineties. That was back when we had just one commercial television channel, all the others were state-owned or foreign. I'm guessing it was a cheap way to fill the airtime. That was a recurring theme as we got more and more TV stations. Several years later one of them aired The Guyver anime on Sunday afternoons. It was a bit more violent and featured more screaming than what we usually got, I'll tell you that much.

SomeMathGuy posted:The movie is slightly overdone even by the standards of the series, but is a pretty good way to get a feel for it if the goal is to try before you commit to the deluxe Blu-ray box set which I definitely don't lovingly display on my bookshelf where it can be quickly accessed at any time. Lmao if you don't have it hidden behind a bookcase that opens when you open a bust of William Shakespeare and turn a switch.

I grew up on the '66 re-runs as well but also benefited from Super-Friends and Spiderman (both live action and animated, stand-alone and Electric Company). They got us easy. Throw in Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man and Thundercats while you're at it.

I watched a lot of Britcoms on PBS, things like Are You Being Served and Waiting for God. The immersion in deadpan snark prepared me well for the internet.

I was too young for Super Friends. I didn't get to see it until high school when our local cable package picked up cartoon network, where it was on reruns. That's where the famous "Solomon Grundy want pants too!" came from.

I like that Jughead's whoopee cap looks significantly less crownlike. ... I would not complain if the whoopee cap made a comeback. Mostly because they were apparently made from fedoras.
