January 12, 1966...Batman Debuts On ABC There are a several rare video pieces here for you to see including this embedded clip (no audio) of a location shoot of a scene from the first episode with Frank Gorshin and Bert Ward. In this clip, we see the competing casting of the two teams of Batman and Robin...Lyle Wagoner and Peter Deyell vs Adam West & Burt Ward. youtube/watch?v=c-BHYo4U0M4 In these two clips, Producer William Dozier talks about the cast in the top link and reveals the mystery behind the voice of the series narrator in the bottom link. youtube/watch?v=bAnOWQqLi8I youtube/watch?v=z-RQkk7ajV8&spfreload=1 By the way, this was one of the only primetime shows ever to air twice a week. The first show to do that was Shindig and its interesting to note that ABC filled the two empty half hours with Batman. It aired in the same day and time slots as Shindig whos last episode ran a week before the caped crusaders took over. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee youtube/watch?v=mYEvhPCyocs
