Wild Life of Burt Ward "Robin" on Batman 66 TV Series

[@TomboyCEO]

I’ve met both Burt Ward and Adam West, both of them are class acts and really care about their fans. RIP Adam

[@manganights]

I spent quite a while with Burt at a convention. He was a great guy. He talked to me about his Great Danes and later I got one. I’ve met a lot of celebrities, many very nice ones, and a few disappointing ones. Burt was a pleasure.

Very Nice! Thank You for sharing :)

"Celebrities," like the one you just described are a dime a dozen. You might as well be bragging about meeting Lassie, Anissa Jones, Cindy Eilbacher, or Cher. When you meet a STRATOSPHERIC SUPERSTAR like the one and ONLY DIANA ROSS, then you can brag. 🤭😒😏😒

Huge fan of the show and everyone involved in it, but in the 1990s when I read about Burt's customized dog food and heard everything he said about the main name-brands, I knew Burt was the real deal. He's one of those stars who definitely earned our respect and appreciation. Thank you for sharing.

Burt Ward saves dogs, and that makes him a real life hero to the world. Respect

[@Cl0ckcl0ck]

1-2 years extra with your dog is already something very dear. 10 years extra? If he managed that then he saved a lot of human lives too! At the very least he added a lot of love and joy to the world. I guess finding the right woman is the trick after all.

[@BradGryphonn]

I'm gobsmacked. As a child of the 60s and 70s, the Batman TV series played a huge part in my afternoon life. It was a brilliant show. It still brings joy to me in adulthood because a lot of the innuendo and jokes were directed toward adults. Much like many modern-day cartoon series. I never really followed the lives of the actors but always had respect for them. Knowing that Burt and his family have rehomed over 14000 dogs AND developed a nutritional pet food fills me with joy. How frikking cool is that?

@@CoolClassics I remember watching Batman and Robin 1srt coming on channel 6 , in Philadelphia , Pa. In September of 1965 , with the Riddler the first episode. By spring of 1966 , I got tired of seeing these tightly clad buffoons doin zapowees and clabam, and puff, and bash, and clabam as they fought ThePenquin , Cat Women, Mr. Freeze, The Joker, The Egg head, The book worm, and a plethora of weird criminals. What a laugh. Too bad the Vietnam War was raging on.

[@1959blantz]

I remember both Adam West and Burt Ward making an appearance at a newly opened Big Bear grocery store in Columbus, Ohio in the early to mid 80s. They were signing autographs so I stood in line for about 2 hours hoping for an autograph. I had brought with me a Batman T-shirt to be signed. Just I got within 3 people to meeting them, a voice came over the PA saying "Adam West and Burt Ward has stopped giving autographs". Loudly I made a point that I had driven over 100 miles, and stood in line over 2 hours hoping to get an autograph. Adam West heard what I said and told me to give him the shirt. He signed the T-shirt and then passed it to Burt Ward to sign. After over 35 years I still own that shirt and will always cherish it over many other autographs I have.

[@thepsychnurse4406]

That is awesome

[@christopherwood2796]

I remember getting an autograph on a picture way back when. Adam West was awesome but Burt Ward was stuffing his face with popcorn and even though he was signing autographs his demeanor was so dismissive. Made a huge impact on me as a kid and how I viewed him. Probably 45 years later, give or take and I remember it vividly.

I met Burt a couple of years ago, he was the parade Grand Marshall in the hometown we share. He drove is personal batmobile. The parade ended at a small festival where he parked and signed 8X10 glossy photos and was happy to interact with the people. He and his wife almost seemed to still be in puppy love with each other. Very happy to see that. A funny side note, after the event he just drove his batmobile home.

[@CoolClassics]

Woah! Very Cool!

[@kottonmouthxkyd]

I think I passed him in So.Cal in the IE... at a store and I just politely nodded... found out he likes Domino's pizza from a friend and confirmed it was indeed Burt Ward I passed. Also, Gentle Giants dog food is pretty great (by my dogs standards)

I was only 4 years old when Batman first aired, but I remember always wanting to stay up to watch it. The only way my mother would let me was if I went to bed and took a nap an hour before the show and she would come to my room just before it started to wake me. I don't know the time of evening it was, but I remember making no fuss about it cause it was worth it to me to be allowed to be up after regular bedtime to watch my favorite show. I also remember playing 'Batman' with my friends and we'd tie bath towels around our necks for capes and sing out the theme tune as we were running around the house . . . . . thanks for the upload, you brought back some locked away memories.

[@linguist2k]

This was the most enjoyable biographical video I have ever seen! The facts you chose to present about Burt surprised and delighted me. I happen to be one of those "college kids" who enjoyed "Batman" during its initial TV run. I attended an exclusive science and engineering college, and the rec room was filled with science and engineering students on "Batman" nights. Thanks for filling us in on the delightful accomplishments of Burt Ward! It is most gratifying to know Burt is still alive and doing well!

This episode was wonderful. Once again I am very happy to learn the backstory of the actors in the television shows that I grew up with. It was in syndication when I saw it as I was born in 1967 but none the less it was still one of my favorites. I am happy that Burt Ward Found Love and a happy purpose in life. I myself have Senior Dogs. My boxer is 13 her name is Baby and I have a dachshund pug mix his name is Buster. Buster is the most stubborn dog as the breeder was just throwing things together pugs and dachshunds are one of the hardest headed dogs there are hahaha. I love them both dearly and I'm going to look into the food that has been formulated. Thanks again, you are great and I really appreciate all the work and effort you put into these episodes

[@slotcarpalace]

Really enjoyed this. I grew up in the 60's and every week the neighbourhood "gang" would POW and BLAM our way to somebodies house to watch the show. For my 12th Birthday, my Father took us all to the brand new Richmond Review Theatre to see the the Batman movie, still one of my all time favourites. BTW I highly recommend watching "Return to the Bat Cave" with Adam West (still my favourite Batman) and Burt Ward recounting tales from the sries. And of course there are shenanigans!

[@jonbrewer297]

Batman wasn't serious and brooding in the 60s. He became serious and brooding in the 80s, but even then, Robin became so before him. Seriously, just read New Teen Titans some time. Literally all the Titans think Batman is a toxic if not outright abusive influence on their leader. And that's pre-Crisis! Post-Crisis, Batman gets to join in on the depression. Batman was more serious in the early years, 30s and 40s. But that was ended because of Fredric Wertham.

No real weapons in Batman, so innocent, punches were covered by a POW! ZOK! BOFF! or some such silly graphic. But it still seemed like heroic feats to a 6 year old that didn't know the camera was turned sideways for wall climbing and window cameos. The 60's were a great time for a kid to watch television! I've seen Adam West in cartoon form on Family Guy right up until his passing and he is so missed.

The window cameos were one of the more interesting scenes since at the time nobody knew who would be opening the window.👍

Truth Indeed

[@davidskaar3232]

Great to see thanks. I saw Ceasar Romero at the Academy awards in 1984. What a treat.

[@DingKong]

Great video! Great facts and information here. It was really great to see the difference between the two sets of actors piloting / auditioning for Batman and Robin. It's clear to see just how much better Adam and Burt were; their chemistry was great and they didn't overdo their lines.

[@Wailwulf]

I thought Lyle Wagoner did a great job as Batman, until he said "Chum" Adam West nailed "Chum" that it flowed and sounded natural.

Thank you for this vid. I'm also happy learning Mr. Ward has a fulfilling life, family & retirement.

I'm happier for having seen this. Thanks Cool Classics! Subscribed.

What a wonderful man helping all those dogs. God bless Burt and his family.

[@TedBronson1918]

Good for Burt ! I'm glad to hear what he's done to help with nutrition and large dogs, helping them to live longer lives. I'm a cat person myself. I have 3 indoor/outdoor cats. I was told that lifestyle would cut down their lifespan, But I've been careful about their food and nutrition The oldest is over 20 and the others over 10, healthy and happy. Nutrition makes a huge difference in a pet's lifespan.

[@CoolClassics]

You are definitely taking good care of them 😁

[@johnjyoungjr7400]

They definitely casted the right duo. As usual you knocked one out of the park! I checked out your other channel yesterday. The one on Eva Gabor. That was awesome! I encourage everyone to check it out. I have to do some research l don't remember her on any Batman movies or TV shows. Glad you're back! Thank you for taking the time to do what you do. Love going back to the good old days 😌

[@CoolClassics]

Awesome! Thank you! Yeah the other channel is going to be companion videos for these biographies. The stuff that didn't fit, or discoveries that I make, after the fact. I really appreciate the positive feedback and support! 😀

[@wesleycook7687]

@@CoolClassics The 60s Batman series was the worst take on Bob Kane's creation ever made. The 40s serials were good but it was Christian Bale that made Bob Kane's vigilante character come to life..And no Robin. The Robin character hasn't been in the latest films either. Ben Affleck about sunk the whole character. There's a new one coming out soon. But it will fail because instead of setting the character in a future world, they need to set it in the 1940s and lose Robin.

[@Sardarkhan69]

A real fun, entertaining and informative video! I had heard about Bruce’s and Burt’s tussle but never knew it was all in good humour

[@Kwameking1]

Thank you for the Video Sir.Blessings to Mr.Ward

[@kensterknig177]

WoW, really well done program, very informative! I appreciate the program and the effort made to put it together. I was a big Superman Fan as a child (early 1960's) and, of course, Batman series program. Watched it Twice & subscribed. Keep-Up the good work !

[@CoolClassics]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank You for subbing too!

[@jaylu7021]

Bruce playing a joke on Burt the first time they met on set was hilarious especially the fact they probably knew each others martial arts background. Adam West and the crew definitely had a good laugh at that joke at Burt's expense.

[@chrish7336]

That type of joking around is long gone anymore. Practical jokes today have come to the point of not just laughter at some ones expense but Physical and Emotional harm.

[@julietrudgeon3433]

Omg!!! This is awesome! I've been worried about you because you haven't posted in awhile. I've watched every video you've made.

[@CoolClassics]

Thank you so much!! I had a rough patch this winter, but things are back on track now, which allows me to relax and enjoy the classics. I Really Appreciate the support and concern! 😁

[@aramboodakian9554]

Thank you that was fun and informative. I enjoyed your little chuckles throughout your presentation as many times I was laughing too.

[@CoolClassics]

Yeah I make these videos and get all wrapped up in the story and clips. I love all of these shows too :)

[@onceIhadalove]

*COOL CLASSICS, I'VE JUST WATCHED THREE OF YOUR EPISODES AND I AM HOOKED! INSTANT FAN! THE SUAVE, STATELY NARRATION IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND PROFESSIONAL AND DOESN'T DETRACT FROM THE WELL-EDITED PROGRAM. PRECISE, INCREDIBLY DETAILED, AND SHARP, THIS IS THE BEST DOCUMENTARY SERIES ON KZbin.*

[@CoolClassics]

My Gosh! I appreciate that you notice the effort I put it 😁👍 Thank You for such kind words :)

[@genosim63]

So well done. It's always good to hear about successful people that appreciated and gave something back. Also many good personal memories come from back in the day. 👍

[@feralcatbrothers]

Awesome! I had the honor of sitting in one of the "Batmobiles" when attending FanExpoCanada in Toronto back in 2016. What a thrill!

[@CoolClassics]

Very Cool!

[@namelessformlesscosmichorr620]

This was a seriously fantastic video! Excellent research, interesting and engaging content... You've earned another sub!

[@CoolClassics]

Awesome, thank you!

[@wonderwhat4]

Thanks for the video. At first when I saw that it was almost 30 min. long I wasn't going to watch all of it. But once I started I could not stop. I was born in 1960 and Batman was one of my favorite shows after school. This was so interesting. Your narration was excellent. Thanks again for posting it. I'm a subscriber now.

[@JTLaser1]

Great video! Thanks especially for the info about Gentle Giants dog food. I’ve watched several friends with Great Danes lose their buddies WAY too early. I can’t wait to tell them about it!!!

[@tapantera]

What a great story. Glad to hear there's happiness. Life has crazy ups and downs. Maybe his dog food will extend the life of my best friend! Great video.

[@mattsboy]

Really fascinating episode! So great that Burt helped big dogs! And so great to hear his friendship with Adam West lasted a long time.

[@Stax-ht9md]

Being 65 I grew up with these shows. I recall when Batman premiered. For weeks before the 1st show all the kids in 5th grade (?) talked endlessly about watching it! The next day we all agreed- Batman was the best!

[@2puffs770]

I've been binge watching your vids since I got home from work. I've had HUGE smiles across my face reliving these wonderful decades. It's been like....you and me....just sittin' here a talkin' and a watchin'.....you delve so deeply into their professional and personal lives without being obnoxious or disrespectful about it! You're my kinda folk!!!

[@jerrymarlow5453]

Thank you for the videos. I love the "Cool Classics" you produce. The 60s will always be my favorite decade for television. I've subscribed.

[@CoolClassics]

Glad you like them!
