Adam West | The Complete Pioneers of Television Interview

[@EdRushing-te3sc]

Adam was so funny and most importantly ...human! I loved his portrayal. Batman with him had so much warmth that is missed in all the other films.

[@Hillcapper1]

I was a huge Batman fan as a kid. What a pleasant guy Adam West was.

[@wesleyoduinn6160]

he was ridding about 20 women a week give that a wee google there :)

[@WhatTheFrenchToast]

Worked with Adam West in 1988 on a film called, "Omega Cop" he was on set for 3 days and was such a hoot to be around. He was kind to everyone, patient and joked it up on the set. Which made working those days all the more fun! Miss you Adam.

[@mattd6200]

He really cherished his role is Batman even after all these years. Love it.

[@lukerogers151]

A fun and kind man that never took himself too seriously. RIP buddy. Hope you're resting well.

[@MuzixMaker]

Watching Batman as first aired when I was a kid, I had no idea the the guest villains were famous actors in their own right.

[@lelandthomosoniii4743]

Loved the famous people,,, Bad was entertaining.

[@picklerix6162]

As a kid, I only recognized Burgess Meredith, but I didn’t know his name. I had no clue about the other villains.

[@VicMartino]

When I was a child growing up Adam West was and will always be the "Batman" for me. I grew up watching the 1966 1967 Batman tv series twice a week, part one on Weds. and part two on Thurs. 7:PM to 7:30PM on WABC channel 7 here in NYC. And to this day whenever I watch the show I still enjoy it very much.

[@jessfrankel5212]

"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb." That line from the movie will always stay with me. Thank you, Adam West, for making this viewer's childhood fun.

[@mikeelek9713]

This is a terrific interview. Adam West's wit and humor come through (15:15 - one of the funniest comments in any interview and very Batman of him). He didn't get to it, but Adam West was "rock star" popular in Japan.

[@clarafedde8674]

He is the bright knight, He is the true Batman. I love Adam West and was good in everything. It's why he was mayor. ADAM WEST!!!!

[@boblum3360]

I grew up in the 1970's on Batman reruns. Mr West's portrayal of Batman provided a positive role model for me.

[@anthonyabbinanti5739]

Batman was a great show.When I was a kid we looked forward to watching it. It was silly,but very cool.

[@crystalheart9]

He looked mighty fine in that costume. Loved Adam West as Batman!

[@GilesHellier]

And he didn't need molded plastic to improve his physique. Just pure. West.

[@crystalheart9]

@@GilesHellier So true! I heard him say basically the same thing on an interview.

[@GilesHellier]

@crystalheart9 :) I was actually quoting his guest spot in the Simpsons where he teased himself a little. But the point was still sterling!

[@crystalheart9]

@@GilesHellier I will have to see if I can find that on you tube!

[@hombre1965]

“Absurd in your seriousness” Perfect description and clear understanding of the role.

[@MrBlockice22]

RIP Adam. Born in 1980. When I 1st saw this show, I completely loved it!! One love to the WHOLE Batman Cast!!

[@edwinsmith6690]

Batman has always been my favorite show. As a kid I didn't see anything funny about it, to me he was so serious. Once as a kid I got in trouble for something, and my mom told me I couldn't watch Batman for a week, (it was on everyday at this time) and I could have just died. Adam West was the best

[@dannymarz2568]

The reason BATMAN was amazing was that ADAM was BRILLIANT

[@matthewh.9544]

He had a good part in Robinson Crusoe on Mars. He always looked a very likable man.

[@thomaschacko6320]

His memoir, “Back To The Batcave” was a really fun read!

[@MVerdoux]

What a wonderful human being he was......

[@vassa1972]

He was great

[@ytugtbk]

Basically the show was a cartoon. Same Bat Time; same Bat Channel.

[@markw4263]

Adam West has always had a terrific take on a crazy career turn. Funny, perceptive, and aware of the silliness of it all. Biff! Oof! Nailed it, Batman!

[@johndoyle2429]

With all the batman's that were on the big-screen. Adam west and Burt ward were real Batman and Robin to me.

[@davidrice3337]

Me too !

[@davidrice3337]

What an endearing man - such a special icon - Great American

[@emitindustries8304]

13:37. Adam mentions Burgess Merideth, who played the villain, The Penguin. I can still hear The Penguin's evil laugh, "Hu-whe, hu-whe, hu-whe!". I think that's how you'd spell an evil laugh.

[@kromedome0101]

The "3 Bs" of the 60s: the Beatles, Bond & Batman!

[@lelandthomosoniii4743]

It was a perfect video of the comics for kids

[@lelandthomosoniii4743]

Mee!

[@vassa1972]

Good stuff remember him batman in reruns

[@caesarvalentin6332]

Tough decision to either to watch Batman or Lost in Space at the same hour.

[@caesarvalentin6332]

And Newman as a Catwoman

[@MexieMex]

What a shame he never got to play the older stately Batman.

[@pammiller942]

I love this Batman I love Adam West she's so handsome I love to watch I got the Batman DVD❤

[@maryharris6680]

I love you Adam West!!

[@pamelamays4186]

Cat Man from Fairly Odd Parents. Half man, half cat!

[@caesarvalentin6332]

Caesar Romero and Burgess Meredith were the stars in Batman.

[@drbonesshow1]

80% of success is showing up - on time hopefully.

[@leejtam0914]

i love that he knew it was absurd even then

[@FredPickett]

One of the best/R.I.P. Adam

[@tomlemery8490]

Adam West was on the cover of LIFE magazine and not TIME.

[@Frederick-t8t]

I watched Lost in Space. Then when Batman debut I watched Lost in Space on Wednesday and the 2cd part of Batman on Thursday night.

[@nacerayoubi5350]

best actor

[@peterkirgan6850]

Rip Adam you are and always be the Batman ! I appreciate everything you did the spaghetti westerns Robinson Caruso on mars ! Rip

[@caesarvalentin6332]

And Frank Corshin

[@Its_mir2001]

I still can't believe this was his real voice! I could listen to an audiobook of his voice.

[@davidrice3337]

Funny

[@davidrice3337]

Funny

[@ronwade5646]

I learned to read watching Batman!

[@jefffuller9918]

Catwoman steals the voices of the English singing duo, Chad and Jeremy. Classic.

[@nilzeteoliveirasantos9388]

Simpatizava com esse ator!

[@throckmortonsnephew6395]

I wonder if he is purposely overstating the artistic direction in Batman on purpose - to have fun with the audience. He is being what he claims that Batman was. It seems all tongue-in-cheek.

[@larrysmith6797]

You're the only one who figured that out!

[@db90990]

The bat 🚤was cool & bat girl was very hot

[@eugenevincent145]

🦹‍♂️❤

[@paulhammons7077]

15:15 😅

[@sparky6086]

It's "Batgirl", not "Batwoman"!

[@evanescapades2513]

THEEEEE BATMAN!!!!

[@Glen-ft8ch]

It was Camp comedy.

[@caesarvalentin6332]

Either to watch

[@erikbengtson]

27 lives I think, tough 🤣

[@carlozabbia1157]

No mention of his stint as himself on "Family Guy." He was the only one worth watching.

[@evanescapades2513]

Batwoman????!!!
