Batman - Original Series 1-3 [1966] [Blu-ray] [2015] [Region Free]

Classic television show on blu-ray makes for hours of viewing enjoyment. Was in perfect condition and arrived earlier than expected!

5+ stars for this amazing series-0 stars for this packaging (look for the blue case version, not this terrible cardboard one)First of all, this series is deeply beloved for very good reasons. I'll go so far to say it's a labor of love, pure joy, and a masterpiece. I'm a millennial and used to watch and enjoy the reruns on KTLA channel 5 when I was a little booger in the 90's and, along with Tim Burton's take on the bat, I fell in love. While I do prefer a more dark and brooding Batman a la Michael Keaton, Kevin Conroy, and most notably Ben Affleck (Bale was honestly just ok), this version of Batman is a great family friendly take for kids to enjoy and introduce themselves to the morally righteous, philosophical, incredibly fun, legendary, and magical world of The Batman.All that being said, stay away from this version of the series because of the packaging. Some of the disks are packed in a very weird way where you have to press against two plastic tabs at the bottom of the disk slot and then guide the disc into two tiny slots on the opposite side. The plastic tabs are very stiff, and the disks aren't easy to take out or put back in, so this in turn is causing pressure and stress on the disks themselves that will no doubt result in either damage to the plastic tabs or the discs themselves overtime. Once these plastic tabs break, this will result in the inability of the disk to be held in the packaging and will move around freely and unsecure, scratching the disk in the process. One of the tabs on the set I received was already broken, so it was just a matter of time. Extremely poor decision going with this packaging by Warner Brothers, if I would've known before I wouldn't have ordered this version but looked for the one that has individual jewel holders for each one which causes no stress or pressure on the disks and is very easy to remove and place the disks in (which is the one I ordered after).I hate returning things to Amazon because they get it right most of the time, especially when the manufacturer should be more aware and careful of how they package such a wonderful series like this, so Amazon is not the one at fault in this instance.RIP Adam West and Cesar Romero (the standout stars of this show), and everyone else involved in making this wholesome series that has passed on to the next life, you will be missed.

Amazing.

i bought these on a "gamble;" as i have every other set of DVD recordings of this series. (over the years, i've bought these from e-bay and a few individuals. all were of very poor quality audio & video) I just cannot overstate this: If you are a fan of this 1966 TV series, you should buy this DVD set! They play perfectly. The quality of the recordings is beyond anything i have seen. I am not easy to impress, but in this case i am VERY impressed! The images are clearer and more high resolution than you have EVER seen this show before! The colors are brighter than you've EVER seen this show before! This is the best made DVD set of classic TV that i have personally ever bought. It looks like it was filmed in high-def!

I always loved watching Adam West's Batman on TV (He'll always be THE REAL BATMAN in my opinion), and when the only channel that I still had with DirecTV took it off the air a few years ago, I was disappointed. I have been somewhat hesitant of spending the money on the entire collection for fear of lackluster quality, but I am absolutely impressed at the stellar job that they did to re-master this series into High-Definition clarity on BluRay! It looks amazing on my new 4k UHD TV!!! The trademark 60's technicolor trip-fest just makes one sit and watch in "child-like" wonder. I've only made it through the first season, and have yet to watch any of the special features included. As for recommending this particular box-set - DEFINITELY - YES! I don't know how many extra goodies that the other version that's over $100 includes or if it's worth the cost, but I do know that this set has everything that I wanted, and has far surpassed my expectations in quality already! A must-have for any fan, and you can't beat the price. My only complaint however, is that plastic disc holders don't hold the discs in place very well; but the packaging itself is beautiful - great artwork and the small episode info booklet is pretty neat. I'm thinking about getting some generic cases for the discs themselves, just to keep the comic bookish packaging in pristine condition. A great investment if I do say so, myself. Jim Morrison couldn't have said it any better in that Doors song, "The End": "The WEST is the BEST....get there, and we'll do the rest." lol

If you love the Batman TV series this is a no-brainer.

My first exposure to Adam West was the film Robinson Crusoe on Mars which I loved as a kid, and then, when I hit middle school, reruns of the 60 series started running on TV. I was a huge Batman fan then due to the comics and the 1989 film, and so I checked the series out. A lot of my enjoyment of the series was due to a Batman TV series reference book my dad had bought me years before I even knew the show existed. I would read the book and learn about the numerous weekly guest stars and behind the scenes occurrences and was able to enjoy the show despite its campiness. Unfortunately, it's a way too silly to enjoy on its own merits, but it's still fun to see film stars from the golden age of Hollywood turn up throughout the series. What I will say is that the series has never looked better and great care was obviously taken to present the best possible picture which such a colorful show deserves. Now if they would just rerelease the Monkees TV series on blu ray, I'd be happy.

I didn’t know there was a Batgirl ! Very cute ! It's all "over the top" and "outrageously stupid" but that’s what it is. Great acting ! Ridiculous is hard work !

Holy tv series batman Great fun
