I never said watching it was a bad thing, I rather enjoyed it, I can still remember the opening music

 

 

It's a fantastic teaching resource - lends itself well to teaching long term historical impact and reflective historical thinking 

on behalf of all the wallace and gromit fans out there, I feel no need to be subdued from saying the following:

 

YOU SUCK 2017 okay I know Peter Sallis was in his late 90's but still

****.  Grew up on Adam West as Batman. Damn. 

I just wish Teletoon Retro showed every episode of the series and not just the first season

Family Guy won't be the same without him. So many classic moments on that show.

 

I don't know maybe that should have been in the simpsons moments discussion

the old campy batman was before my time, but I used to watch reruns as a kid I believe in french on channel 10 after school when nothing was on. West, for me was more iconic as Mayor West on Family guy and his awesome cameos on the simpsons and more recently The Big Bang Theory. RIP

they've forsure aired reruns on multiple occasions on different stations. The french ones I was referring to probably aired late 80's when channel 13 was like as high up as your tv could go without the assist of a VCR or HBO box

oh yeah it was part of Bundy's Late Night Revue back when Citytv was MTN

The first summer Bundy's was on was great but it got boring becoming regular feature.

well I was going to share the promo but I think Retro removed it due to Copyright crap

well Kevin Dunn did upload some stuff from those days but it was due to unfortunate circumstances (the death of Adam Rickner the performer of the Beave)

here is the video I was referring to, it's the last little bit of the video that shows the promo
