Nana Nana Nana Nana Aunt Harriet!
The Batman television show is now a of legendary status. I think everyone born between 1966 and 1996 watched the thing every day after school and it has done a great job of lasting the test of time. The show is full of some truly fantastic humour. But it's boosted by some great characters played by some wisely picked actors and it is all here in this fabulously colourful bluray box-set!The adventures of the dynamic duo have never looked better. This box-set has some fantastic transfers of the classic television show. There's more clarity than ever before, revealing all the strings, hidden moustaches and stunt actors that you could have ever wanted. Don't let that put you off because it really jumps out of the television. The colours are very strong, complimenting the '60s themed sets and costumes wonderfully. Everything is now bright and more eye popping than Julie Newmar in that wonderful outfit. Meow!The box-set itself is quite an eye opener. It's just as colourful as the show itself. There are thirteen discs in total featuring all available episodes. Each season has its own slipcase book and is housed in a thick cardboard box. Inside the box, there is also a booklet that contains all the details you'd ever want about each episode. There are no annoying flaps to open, no annoying out sleeves to accidently scuff and tear. It's a very simple package that is as practical as it is good looking.The show itself has in ways aged better than I had expected. The humour is very sharp and witty. There's a lot of puns for each character and they can be side splittingly hilarious. The actual characters are very well done. The previously mentioned Julie Newmar as Catwoman is definitely a highlight. She plays up to the camera with every bit of charm that she has. Her lines are sexy, they're funny but just ooze personality. I also really love Frank Gorshin as Riddler, Burgess Meredith as The Penguin and the legendary Cesar Romero as The Joker. Each one puts in a tremendous amount of energy and attention into their character. It makes them very fun to watch and it honestly never gets old.There are of course a lot of things that might fall flat in 2021. There's some jokes that some overly sensitive soul might think is a bit much and a lot of the language, mannerisms, outfits and the mono audio are pretty dated. But to me, it's much like the original Star Trek. It's all a part of one big package and it wouldn't have been the same without it. It's all a part of the charm and I wouldn't change it for the world.This show is for those wanting a laugh. It's a great fun show that is very safe to watch with your kids and is of much higher quality than the shows of today. It does NOT pander, it is NOT political and does NOT insult your intelligence. This is mandatory family television and I couldn't recommend it more.

Great
The media could not be loaded. The picture quality was great, better than other blu rays I've purchased. My dad loved it. The only problem was it was one of those big boxes with all the discs crammed in, some right on top of each other.

Back to the early sixties!
For me pure youthful sentiment. When this was broadcast, I was a boy of around six/seven. My parents had no television and in order to be able to follow this hugely popular series among young people, I had to look at acquaintances. It was probably the first series I saw of my life. That's why this series stuck with me for the rest of my life. Although I have to confess that after fifty years the stories are no longer vividly in mind, but the characters/bad guys still are. When I heard the begintune, it sounded very familiar right away. I saw the series back then in black and white and I am pleasantly surprised how fresh the colors are on the blu ray. It looks really great and the colourful sixtiescolours splash from your set. The psychedelic camera operation and dialogues make the party complete. After fifty years now I realise that it is a series with a wink. There is humour, over the top-acting and moralising messages are so thickly placed on top of them that it is more funny than annoying. For example: Robin is pushed from a building with his hands tied; Batman quickly throws his iron batwing thingy and Robin grasps it with his teeth in his fall! Batman pulls him up and explains the importance of always brushing your teeth! Don't watch too many episodes one after the other because they all have approximately the same pattern. Provided you take it in a dose, it is very pleasant viewing. I recommend this to people who love the early sixties and to those who’ve watched it when they were young. I bought this (beautiful executed) box for a very low price and it is worth every penny for it.

Great series but packaging awful
I have these on DVD but thought the Blu-ray would be better. To be honest I can't see any difference.Packaging dreadful, all discs arrived off there spindle's and loose in the box

60’s nostalgia.
If this is what you grew up with, and looked forward to every week, this will bring back those memories.Cringeworthy today, almost embarrassing. But it is what it is!I had to have it in my collection, and the remastered edition, I recommend. 👍🏻

A quality product.
This is the classic live-action TV series from the 1960's, now available on Blu-ray.The picture and sound quality are superb in HD. I'm amazed at how good it looks, given that it was made for TV some 50 years ago! Okay, this is a silly show - full of parody and humour. It's certainly not my favourite Batman. But it's nonetheless a fun Batman. Adam West and Burt Ward portray their characters so seriously, in such absurdly comical circumstances, and yet the series captured the imagination of millions. The theme tune, the Batmobile, the 'zap' and 'pow' ... it's all so great!I intend to watch an episode once every so often ... as I couldn't sit though all of this in a short period of time! There are 120 episodes in total, all in glorious colour. The sturdy box it comes in is nice; as is the glossy 32 page booklet (episode guide). There are lots of hours of extras.Yet unless you're an avid fan, or intend this to be something for the kids to watch (as children seem to love it), I'd not by it.But as I am an avid fan of Batman, so I bought it ... and I'm enjoying it!

Super ridiculous.
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 !
