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 show which was hosted by CBS competed directly with The Adams Family on ABC. Both shows were in black and white. When the Batman series which was shot in color aired in 1966, it spelled the end for both shows as it dominated the ratings. Cast members of the original show 1964-1966.
