Agree with Thomas.
One of my younger brothers loved the Batman TV show. I was a teenager during it's initial run- and it didn't interest me. The one part of the show I really liked though was when Batman and Robin would be climbing up the side of a building and be greeted along the way by a celebrity popping out of an open window. That was fun- and you never knew who would make an appearance. The show was extremely popular. In fact, it would be shown twice on the evenings that it was scheduled.
I think for many it provided an escape from the grim realities of the day's headlines (isn't that partly the role of entertainment?).
