1. 'Andy & Don: The Making of a Friendship and a Classic American TV Show'
$26.00, amazon.com2. 'Automan: The Complete Series' DVD
$26.99, amazon.comWe love obscure television shows of the past. While this Desi Arnaz, Jr. vehicle may never make the MeTV rotation, the early-'80s series is kitschy fun for fans of Knight Rider and Tron. This new DVD set gathers its lone season.
3. Batman Classic TV Series Premier Collection Catwoman Resin Statue and Egghead Resin Bust
$150 and $59.99, diamondselecttoys.comWho wouldn't want Julie Newmar standing atop one's desk? We certainly do. The Vincent Price sculpture is a well captured likeness. Please note: While these collectibles are available for pre-order, they do not ship until Spring 2016. Still, it makes a great gift for Batman lovers.
4. Batman 1966 TV Series: To The Batcave! Action Figure
$29.99, toysrus.comThis Adam West action figure from Mattel comes with a Batcomputer from the show. You're never too old to stop playing with toys.

12. Star Trek Original Series Phaser Universal Remote Control
$149.95, startrek.comWhile we don't condone changing the channel when Star Trek is on MeTV's Super Sci-Fi Saturday Night, you could at least program this universe remote to crank up the volume. Set your phaser on "record."
