[This week marks the 60th<\/sup> anniversary<\/a> of the
\ndebut of the Batman<\/i> TV show & the 50th<\/sup><\/a> of The
\nBionic Woman<\/i>. So I\u2019ve AmericanStudied those shows & three others from
\nthe 60s & 70s, all of which happen to start with the letter \u2018B\u2019! Leading up
\nto this crowd-sourced post featuring the responses and recommendations of
\nfellow TVStudiers!]<\/p>\n

Gotta start the first crowd-sourced post on the new website with
\nthoughts from <\/span>my second-most<\/span><\/a>
\nlongstanding and thoughtful reader, my FSU colleague <\/span>Irene
\nMartyniuk<\/span><\/a>. She writes, \u201cMeTV is perhaps the greatest thing ever if only for
\nscience fiction Saturday Night. From 1:00 am until 5:00 am, in order\u2014Lost In
\nSpace<\/i>, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea<\/i>, Land of the Giants<\/i>, The
\nTime Tunnel<\/i>, and then The Invaders<\/i>. They are all <\/span>Irwin Allen<\/span><\/a> shows and
\nso tacky and brilliant and hokey and wonderful. I love them all. They walked so
\nthat every version of Battlestar Galactica<\/i> could fly.\u00a0And I haven\u2019t
\neven gotten to The Love Boat<\/i> and Fantasy Island<\/i> yet. Good times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Responding on Bluesky to Monday\u2019s post, <\/span>John Edwin
\nMason<\/span><\/a> argues that West\u2019s show is \u201cstill the best Batman by far.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While <\/span>Marty Olliff<\/span><\/a> adds, \u201cYou
\nmight have seen me mention this before, but I once served Adam West in a buffet
\nline. Here’s one I’ve never reported: my wife and kids (before I was in the
\npicture) lived in the foothills of Mt. Hood, Oregon, near <\/span>Lindsay
\nWagner’s local home<\/span><\/a>. They saw her occasionally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Responding to Tuesday\u2019s post, <\/span>Darlene
\nCypser<\/span><\/a> notes that \u201cBonanza<\/i> actually addressed a number of
\ncontroversial issues.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, <\/span>Joshua R.
\nGreenberg<\/span><\/a> requests another B-centered show from the era, <\/span>BJ and the Bear<\/span><\/i><\/a> (Guest
\nPost time, says I!). <\/span><\/p>\n

Next series starts Monday,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben<\/span><\/p>\n
