JANUARY 4, 1967
"The Contaminated Cowl" (prod. #9739-Pt. 1) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. Eastern on ABC as the 69th episode of Batman.
We learn here that Alfred Pennyworth makes all of The Batcostumes.
Hoffman, the series story editor, wrote 22 scripts for the series (including this episode), second only to Stanley Ralph Ross.
Heather Young would later play stewardess Betty Hamilton on the science fiction series Land Of The Giants (ABC, 1968-70). Another member of that cast, Deanna Lund would appear on a later episode playing Anna Gram.
Jean Hale (Polly) portrayed Lisa in the 1967 20th Century-Fox sequel In Like Flint. Coincidentally, pre-Batregular Yvonne Craig had a brief role in the film as Natasha, the Ballerina.
JANUARY 5, 1967
"The Mad Hatter Runs A Foul" (prod. #9739-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. Eastern on ABC as the 70th episode of Batman.
This was David Wayne's second and final performance of Jervis Tetch, The Mad Hatter.
Writer Charles Hoffman based his material on a comic book story, "The Mad Hatter of Gotham City" from Detective Comics #230 (April 1956), but did little to develop the material.
Once again, The Dynamic Duo employs the use of a Homing Battransmitter to ensnare The Mad Hatter.
Stock kinescope footage of mourning Gothamites outside Police Headquarters is lifted from the 1966 Batman movie.
JANUARY 4, 1968
"The Joke's On Catwoman" (prod. #1715-Pt. 2) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. Eastern on ABC as the 111th episode of Batman.
Incidentally, Catwoman and Joker are among Batman's earliest comic book adversaries, initially appearing in Batman #1 (Spring 1940), and became the best-known and most frequently seen Batman anatagonists.
There is a photograph of then-Vice-President Richard Milhous Nixon in the courtroom.
Pierre Salinger was John F. Kennedy's press secretary. He later became a foreign correspondent for ABC News.
