Better yet see if you can scare up one of the DVD collections. You won't be disappointed if you like campy stuff.

At any rate it seemed more plausible than a few of the others, but thats what makes the show fun.

Adam West's timing was priceless and Burt Ward ... well, even though I suspect he didn't understand what he was doing, is also amusing with his earnestness.<br /><br />In this episode, Van Johnson seems to having such fun. But like Adam West, he always stays in character. What a deft comic actor he could be! (And you're right, what a wimpy villain.)<br /><br />PS I liked "Shame."

They always look like they're having the best time. I think Vincent Price and Frank Gorshin tie for my favorite, but I also really enjoy Van's Minstrel.Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595610476583704014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-40525908563069090272017-08-25T06:59:49.426-05:002017-08-25T06:59:49.426-05:00I rather liked the concept for The Minstrel, but p...I rather liked the concept for The Minstrel, but probably because I like Van Johnson. I could listen to him sing all day. I have an album with Van as the lead in The Music Man that is a treasure.<br /><br />PS: You're right. The worst is "Shame".
