Tune in to see the Batman star in seven different TV series.

The Everett Collection

Adam West will forever be known as Batman, but the actor did far more than solve riddles and sock bad guys in a cape. The Walla Walla, Washington, native was a regular presence on TV Westerns in the early 1960s.

Last Friday, the beloved man who played Bruce Wayne passed away at the age of 88. Former costars and other celebrities have poured their hearts out for their friend. Now, MeTV is paying tribute to Adam West with a full day of programming — in its regularly scheduled time slots — devoted to the Hollywood legend.

On Saturday, June 17, between 10AM | 9C to 1:30AM | 12:30C, you can watch Adam West in seven different classic television series. Naturally, this will include two episodes of Batman in its regularly scheduled time slot, as part of our Super Sci-Fi Saturday Night. For this special occasion, we are airing the first two episodes of the 1966 series, which include Adam West's iconic "Batusi" dance.
