Batman produces beverages, processed food, chemicals, furniture, footwear, machinery and transport equipment... On average, Batman has a lot of sunshine hours... Batman was growing at a rate of 5% per year... Batman were categorized as illiterate... There is a football stadium in Batman with a capacity of 4,900 spectators...

tinyE: What is silly is that it's on tv all the time. XD Why buy it?
Well it hasn't been on tv here for the last 10-15 years or so.
And even if it had been, I don't watch tv for several reasons (one being my dislike for commercials).

This is the one release I have been waiting for a very long time.
A must-buy once it gets heavily discounted.

I think 'holy rusted metal' was one of them robin said... and the metal they were near was rusty and had holes in it... Apparently batman needed clarification why Robin used that phrase before moving on... :P
I will buy it on BD, but only after it drops in price a fair bit.
Lol, I love watching the IFC re-run mini marathons every weekend (watched a block this morning :D)

Like almost everyone else, I'm crossing my fingers for a price drop before I even think about grabbing it (reallllly hoping for that )
At Amazon, it's 180 US Bukcs for the Blu Ray. There ar so many sites offering these at "Dealers Discounts" that almost nobody pays the actual official price and those who do deserve to get clipped for stupidity.
BTW, there are also offerint the first season for 40 bucks.Which is still pretty pricy give that the show was a Mid season replament and you are really only talking about 13 hourse of show for the first season.

Gandos: Time Warner's lawyers must have been working overtime to cut through this intricate web of legal disputes in order to make this possible.

rtcvb32: And only people who actually have watched the show would enjoy the novelty of watching it again... while younger generations will probably watch friends, or saved by the bell, The Big Bang Theory or something equally entertaining.

A good portion of the 1960's batman series seemed off the wall and silly to me; Although i honestly haven't seen very much of it....
Depends on which younger generation you're referring to. As much as I love Friends, it's not a show that holds much relevance nowadays, especially since it has been copied and imitated endlessly. Much like Seinfeld, time has made it a victim of its own success.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how people used to how Batman is portrayed in the Dark Knight saga will react to his much more lighthearted and goofy presentation in the 60's show. Though I will say that Batman is one of the rare superheroes that are quite flexible in terms of mood and atmosphere; he can work in both campy and gritty type of works. Other superheroes, like Superman, don't really have this benefit (needless to say, I didn't think the direction Man of Steel took was a smart one).

Glad someone noticed the Batman Forever reference.
