I believe they hired Mr. Astin to play the Riddler because Mr. Gorshan wasn't available. Why he wasn't available and if he ever returned to the character, I don't know.

John Astin was a terrible Riddler🙄

Similar with the Three stooges and their titles as parodies on current sayings ir movies at the time.

I'd rather see it once a week. If they ran it on a daily basis they would go through all the episodes in 6 months. Then it would be like some of the other programs that run in that manner. At least with the once a week it doesn't get old quick.

They could at least show two episodes of Batman on Saturday night instead of just one and that annoying Sventoonie.

From all the promo media on the Sventoonie thing they have it advertised as a Limited Series. Who knows what they're doing with it? It will be interesting to see what they do with it.

Hopefully very limited.

TY for the link, So it looks like Buck moves to Sunday AM, replacing Matthew Star. Wonder as the pdf schedule says "subject to change" if they will make any others? On a side note it will be interesting to see how their " Story Television" launch does next week.

PS: I wonder if MeTV's decision to add Batman back to the schedule had any connection to the Batman Movie 🎥 🎬 that was launched earlier in March?

Tell me again, what is Story Television about again. Is that the Weigel produced inhouse stories, features or documentaries? And is it more relevant to the Midwest and the East Coast?

From a story Variety did on Weigel's new network "Story Television":

They may have finally got smart and realized a lot of markets preempt the schedule and show news at 10:00, making an hour program from 10-11 not possible. While most others have had Star Trek at 10:00 for this long, we have never had it here at that time, instead news at 10 and Batman at 10:30. So hearing this was a schedule change was surprising, as it's the way we always had it. Also, no Ed Sullivan on Sunday nights. Weekdays are not a problem, as half hour shows are run from 10 - 11, so we lose the 10:00 episode. For us, Batman was kind of like the backup program they offered in markets where The Andy Griffith show was blocked by other stations having exclusive airing rights in a market (Mayberry RFD aired here for a while instead). We also don't get the 5:00pm Sunday programming, as a local church broadcasts services at that time.

Good one!
