 I really loved this show as a kid. I tried to watch some episodes recently and was shocked at how juvenile & unwatchable they are as an adult (just like "Lost in Space").

I really loved this show as a kid. I tried to watch some episodes recently and was shocked at how juvenile & unwatchable they are as an adult (just like "Lost in Space").

I recently purchased all of the seasons on DVD. Very pricey. Needless to say.....I have returned all of the DVDS and received a return on my money. What a waste. Yes, Mord. The show is so boring and juvenille. The main characters are kind of cool. Actually the villians....and BATGIRL( in costume). I guess for me? I dig the 60s-80s  Batman toyline(s).
The live action '66 show.....not so awesome.Again.....aesthetically the costumes and colors on the '66 show were cool.
I'll stick with the Munsters. At least with the Munsters' t.v. show, I know what to expect. Plus, the Munsters arestill entertaining.

 I completely  agree. I think the Munsters (& the Addams Family) were written on a much more adult level. I do love the wild look of the sixties Batman show. The figures & toys are also beyond cool.

Wha....?

BATMAN, LOST IN SPACE and THE MUNSTERS were kid shows, aimed at ten-year-olds. Look at the merchandising. Of course they are juvenile- they always were. But they were great.

I'll probably never pick this up on dvd but it is great to finally see it's release.  I'll watch an occasional episode when I see it's on mostly for Cesar Romero, Vincent Price, Roddy McDowall, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, John Astin, Carolyn Jones, Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar and Yvonne Craig.

Sorry. That is just my opinion. The Batman '66 television show is awful. I do dig the characters and the aesthetics of the television show. Yes, I also understand that these shows were written for a younger demographic. I just feel the Munsters was and is a better show. Don't get started on the Sherwood Schwartz( no disrespect) television shows. Yikes!!!

[Mord]

 Yeah, The Munsters still seem watchable to me as an adult. I think the writers threw in some material for the parents (like Looney Tunes cartoons). Batman & LiS were too "golly gee, gosh" for me.

Lost in Space, Batman and Gilligan's Island are all unbearable to watch. I was so super psyched to watch the '66 Batman DVDs. Halfway through the episodes, I lost interest. Not because I am easliy distracted....the show is boring. Believe me.
I am not the only one who thinks so. Even the '74 Planet of the Apes television was better.

I loved the show as a kid, hated it when I got older, and I seem to enjoy it again.  Much of the show was written tongue in cheek, so children could enjoy it as an action show, and adults as a comedy.  If you want a decent version of the show for the small screen, that's not written to be silly, there's "Batman the Animated series."

There are certain shows I still love and enjoy.  For example. Planet of the Apes animated series, Johnny Quest, Land of the Lost, Munsters and UFO. These shows and others bring back fond memories.

Unlike "Batman", there was never a time I hated "The Munsters" or "Johnny Quest". I seemed to like them from the beginning.
