(August 1, 2017) – When you think of iconic cars in the world of TV and Movies, you have to think of the “original” 1966 Batmobile!    The car that was prominently featured in the 60s ABC TV version of Batman, starring Adam West and Burt Ward!    It’s campy view of crimefighting was a hit for three seasons.    During a “Hollywood Show” in Los Angeles, we caught up with Burt Ward, who gave us an entertaining interview talking about how he got the roll as Robin, the Boy Wonder….the movie he nearly was the star of….(that you know of well)….trouble with wearing tights….his co-star, the late Adam West….and….what he’s doing now with his wife ….for the love of dogs.    Big Dogs.

WATCH us and let us know what you think!!   You can also LISTEN to our interview on iTunes and Soundcloud!!

TAC 93 – “To the BATCAVE!!!” Burt Ward on playing a superhero in tights, saving canines one dog at a time, and the late great Adam West!

Earlier this year our friends at “The Hollywood Show” announced they had TV’s Batman and Robin, Adam West and Burt Ward, in their final appearance together!!    It promised meet and greets, autographs and picture taking sessions with the 60’s “Dynamic Duo” at their popular autograph show near the LA Airport.    Fans who took advantage had to be thrilled.    Sadly as it turned out, their promise of “final appearance” turned out to be more prophetic than anyone really wanted.    Weeks later, West, who also played “Mayor West” in Family Guy….passed away at the age of 88.    While West declined to be interviewed at the show, Ward agreed and we had a great time sitting in the above “Batmobile” clone and shooting the breeze about his first nerve wracking day on the job, his memories about West (in the present tense, remember West was alive at that time), the movie role he would have had if the Batman producers would have allowed him…..(think….Dustin Hoffman ended up with the role), why he is now in the Dog Food business….and….his pal….the late Kato….Bruce Lee!      LISTEN to our interview with Burt on iTunes…and at Soundcloud…. (our video uploads later….stay tuned for the posting)
