Batman is a 1960s American television series, based on the DC comic book character of the same name. It aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network for two and a half seasons from January 12, 1966 to March 14, 1968. Despite its short run, the series had two weekly installments for most of its tenure, giving the show a total of 120 episodes (the equivalent of roughly five regular seasons).

When Batgirl joined the cast. She was like the cousin Oliver of the Brady Bunch imo.

You can tell at what point the writers knew they were canceled, though. Everything after the Catwoman/Joker team-up was pretty uninspired. Fun fact (http://officialfan.proboards.com/thread/515697/batman-1966?page=3): the episodes weren't filmed in the order they aired. I know, not surprising, but with this knowledge, one can piece together exactly at what point they gave up...


Enter Batgirl, Exit Penguin
The Sport of Penguins/A Horse of Another Color
The Ogg Couple/The Ogg and I/How to Hatch a Dinosaur
Ring Around the Riddler
The Wail of the Siren
The Unkindest Tut of All
Louie the Lilac
The Londinium Larcenies/The Foggiest Notion/The Bloody Tower
Surf's Up! Joker's Under!
The Funny Feline Felonies/The Joke's on Catwoman
Catwoman's Dressed to Kill
Louie's Lethal Lilac Time
Nora Clavicle and the Ladies' Crime Club
The Joker's Flying Saucer
Penguin's Clean Sweep
The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra
The Great Escape/The Great Train Robbery
I'll Be a Mummy's Uncle
Minerva, Mayhem and Millionaires


I bolded the episode where the decline truly started. The Londinium 3-parter is questionable at best, but far from the show's worst offering. That would be the final episode...
