actually, I thought the reference to eggcellent was a
tribute to the late Vincent Price who played the
supervillian Egghead on the old Batman TB series, who kept
saying things like eggcellent, eggstinct, and other egg sayings

I was on a flight out to Los Angeles a very long time ago. United
Airlines at the time stopped over in Denver. Once we got back in the
air, I heard a very familiar voice in the seat behind me. It was Vincent
Price. We talked all the way to LA but not about movies and such. All we
talked about was making bread, one of his passions ... mine also, along
with Cajun Cooking .. What a guy, very cordial. Sitting next to him was
Coleen Dewhurst, nice lady but had no idea how to make bread. A few rows
up was Norm Crosby, self-centered and quite rude to say the least,
grumbling the whole way to LA.

no, but since you asked, did you know that there were:

42 celebs played villains
9 celebs played non-villains
13 celebs appeared on a bat-climb
2 visiting heros from another show appeared
4 bit parts of celebs before they became famous
and 2 Riddlers
out of all that there were 120 shows in three seasons
the first villain was the Riddler starring Frank Gorshin
and the last villain was Zsa Zsa Gabor's Minerva

What's wrong with Batman series. I was around to watch Howdy-Doody with
Buffalo Bob Smith, Claribel the Clown and everything. :-)

Or how about Lamb Chops with Sheri Lewis.
I thought the reason why the internet is stuck in the old days was
because of us old whipper Snappers (I am 59 this very day) Now I know
its because of all these youngsters that don't know what the heck they

I remember Midnight, Andy's cat, too. :)

I just watched a couple of Tex Ritter westerns that I got for a dollar
(for both) from a rack at the supermarket. In one of them, the bad guy
gang rode with black capes with big white skull'n'crossbones emblems on
them. I was waiting for one of them to confuse the two genre further
and come out with an "Arrrrr!" where a "Giddup!" was appropriate. :)
(And on that note, I also saw "Blackbeard The Pirate" this week.)

ObGeneral: I can think of three generals that have become president of
the US, but I think there are four.

Round and round she goes and where it stops nobody knows. How 'bout that?!

The original sponsor was Old Gold cigarettes and the announcer was

Nope. If I went out side my Yard until I as about 10-11 I got my tail
whipped, by my folks. I was born with Epilepsy, cause my Dr squeezing
with the Tongs they used, way to hard on my head while being pulled out
of the birth canal. So they were fearful of my getting hurt.

Later on when I went to school I was the brunt of much bullying by other
students and one Teacher. I got my axx whipped so many times that the
last time someone Tried it took six other boys and several parents to
get me off the SO... that was trying beat up on me. I broke his nose in
several pieces, today we are good friends but I can still see evidence
of my handi-work. after that was still made fun of , but at least
someone wasn't try to whip my axx all the time, they just left me alone.

So played very little outside. That's why today I don't get out much.
And why I don't drink, smoke, or chase wild,wild women.

Kukla and Ollie even appeared on at least one episode of the '70s-'80s

The Range Rider (starring Jock Mahoney)
The Cisco Kid (starring Duncan Renaldo, with Leo Carillo as his
sidekick Pancho)
Fury
Death Valley Days
The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickock

Then there were the radio shows of the late '40s and early '50s.

Bobby Benson
Green Hornet (later also a TV series)
Straight Arrow (sponsored by Nabisco Shredded Wheat)
Sky King (several years before it was a TV series)

There were others (e.g., Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger) but those
four are the ones I remember listening to.

Trivia:

1. What was the relationship between The Green Hornet and another
radio/comic book/TV hero of the day?
2. Who played Gunsmoke's Matt Dillon on the radio?
3. The stars of two of the listed TV shows are closely related.
Who are they and how are they related?
