You know the first two seasons of the original series were serious science fiction? Then Batman hit TV and was in LIS's timeslot, and it went campy to try to compete for the younger audience. Of course this was all before my time.

I still love the theme music from the original series.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!

The actor and character were so camp from day 1, he could have owned his own summer stock resort in the Berkshires. He was campier than Paul Lynde on Bewitched.
