BATMAN THE ORIGINAL SERIES SEASON 2 VOL. 1 (WARNER)

Finally we get season 2, or to be more precise, the first half.

30 episodes make up this set. We get a gaggle of different villains in this set including The Archer (Art Carney), Catwoman (Julie Newmar), The Minstrel (Van Johnson), King Tut (Victor Buono), Ma Parker (Shelley Winters), Clock King (Walter Slezak), Egghead (Vincent Price), Chandell (Liberace), Penguin (Burgess Meridith), Mr. Freeze (Otto Preminger), The Joker (Caesar Romero), Marsha Queen Of Diamonds (Carolyn Jones),and Shame (Cliff Robertson).

These villains are an odd lot, but it makes for a fun show. I hadn't seen these in so many years I forgot how many stunningly attractive women appeared in various episodes. Some of the women include Marilyn Hanold, Edy Williams, Gail Hire, Tisha Sterling, Marianna Hill, and Barbara Nichols to name just a few.

This is, in my opinion, quality TV from a very wonderful era and any fan should have this in their collection. There have been people complaining about the fact that season two is being cut into two volumes, but what the hell. It's just nice to finally have them on DVD.
