There was a time when it wasn’t exactly cool to admit liking the 60’s show, (especially around the time of the 1989 film) so it was gratifying to see people acknowledge it’s place in Batman history, and Adam West embark on a whole second career after too many years of being typecast.
Family Guy was never my cup of tea, but I always thought West’s mayor character was hilarious.He also appeared a few times on a dumb cartoon from the time of my childhood as Catman, or rather an aging actor who used to play Catman, before eventually becoming the character. The rest of the show doesn’t hold up well, but his appearances do.
I sort of remember that. He and Burt Ward voiced one of the Filmation Batman series in the 70’s.
Adam returned to Batman again in the very last season of Superfriends in the mid 80’s, by then retitled The Super Powers Team:Galactic Guardians. He played Batman totally straight in that and was terrific. An episode revolving around crime alley, (where Wayne’s parents died) was especially good for a Saturday morning cartoon, probably because it was penned by a future writer of the 90’s series.
