Notes: By far the best season of the show, as everything was spectacular. Lots of money was spent, especially on the great sets, something that was lacking in the latter two seasons. 16 different writers worked on the first 34 episodes of the show, the most frequent being Lorenzo Semple Jr. (1-4, 9, 10, 15, 16, 21, 22) Robert Dozier, William Dozier's son, wrote 5 and 6.

Season Two:
Notes: Gradual decline of the series, but still great material. These episodes can only be desribed as sub-par when compared to the first season. Guest stars ran rampant through the second season, mostly thanks to the bat-climb. Also Liberache starred as Chandelle/Harry (Episodes 49 and 50), which was the highest watched show of the series. A lot of new villians were introduced as well, some ill-conceived. No Frank Gorshwin episodes in the second season, which is a shame since he was my favorite villian. He was replaced with John Austin in 79 and 80. There was also a Green Hornet crossover in 85 and 86.

Season Three:
Notes: The series goes to a thirty minute format, Bat Girl comes to town, and Aunt Harriet disappears (cruise). Despite all attempts at revamping the series, the show begins to lose viewers, partly due to the cheap sets and ultra-campy story-lines (Joker gets Alfred to build him a flying saucer?!). A lot of guest stars come in as villians, since the bat-climb is done away with. Some of the shows are bad, but done in a way that makes them entertaining. Look for the last show of the series, with a William Dozier cameo (#120 MINERVA, MAYHEM AND MILLIONAIRES).
