He was cool as Batman when I was young enough to think it was cool and he was frickin' hilarious as the mayor on Family Guy. He popped up everywhere and was one of the greats in my view.

RIP Adam West (September 19, 1928 - June 9, 2017)

Starring Adam West is a great documentary (PPV $1.99).

A nice snippet from yesterday's "Popbitch":

Holy flesh Tetris!


Since his death last week, reports have trickled out about Adam West banging up to eight women a day in his prime. That might sound like a lot of work, but he was usually pretty lighthearted about it all.

Back in the show's heyday, both West and Frank Gorshin (who played the Riddler) turned up to a Hollywood party, only to discover it was actually an orgy.

They were drunk, found it amusing, so decided to stay - but they wanted to take part in the group sex in character.

So West got into his Batman voice and started quoting lines; the Riddler did the same. Until they both got thrown out for not taking it seriously enough.

I love LA for shining the Bat signal for Adam West [:)]

What was so fun and unique about the show was the art of taking live acting (at least live in front of the camera) into the realm of cartoon by way of having graphics superimposed saying things like ~!POW!~, ~!BLAM!~, etc. during the action scenes, and tilting the POV 45 degrees at various moments.

That director was a funny guy (and too, the script writers). None of this involved 'great' acting, but I've always appreciated good effort to purposeful acting well executed.

Meaning to say, I only appreciated the various finer points alluded to above later in life, after some years in service to live shows, including plays and musicals.

At the time, I was a tiny lad and just watched agog.
