Speaking of taking breaks, didn't feel like starting the next episode of Beauty and the Beast -- and can't find a replay of the primary debates just yet -- so I was browsing through some stuff and found that Roku has the Adam West Batman (which, I guess, I could *also* just pull from YT or something).

I skipped "High Diddle Riddle" -- which I've seen quite a few times -- and moved to the first Penguin episode. And, midway through the episode, I couldn't help but think that we'll likely *never* see a superhero show like this again... which depresses the fuck out of me. Granted, I'm not sure we could even find a cast as fantastic as the 1966 Batman's anyway.

Nowadays all the live-action superhero stuff is either grim-dark or soap opera (except maybe Black Lightning, which is a grim-dark soap opera). And even when we see something that's a little campy, they still take things too serious. (Speaking of superhero comedy, I should mention that they apparently also have World's Greatest Hero on there. >_>) Batman 1966 was bright, colorful, and fun. And it's a damn shame that there's nothing quite like it. (Although they did do two animated films after the fact, one of which I picked up and need to watch.)
