The first episode of Batman debuted on January 12, 1966, and it ran on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 to 8:00 P.M. ABC had been hyping the show for quite some time before it finally aired, and once it hit the airwaves, Batman was a big hit, and Bat-mania swept the country.
The series originally aired on Thursday at 7:30 pm on CBS from September 24, 1964, to May 12, 1966; 70 episodes were produced. It was cancelled after ratings dropped to a low due to the premiere of ABC's Batman, which was in color.
