A Visual Guide to All 37 Villains in the Batman TV Series
Scott Neumeyer and Mental_Floss present A Visual Guide to All 37 Villains in the Batman TV Series.
My favorite Batman TV series villains were…
- Catwoman [both Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt versions]
- The Joker [Caesar Romero]
- The Penguin [Burgess Meredith]
- Mr. Freeze [George Sanders, Eli Wallach, and Otto Preminger]
- The Riddler [Frank Gorshin and John Astin]
If The Green Hornet and Kato had been listed as villains, then Kato would have shot to #1. Bruce Lee rules.

15 Fun Facts About The Twilight Zone
Neatorama recently posted 15 Fun Facts About The Twilight Zone that You Might Not Know. Here are my three favorites from their list…
- Serling narrated for the show, first through just his voice and then on camera during the second season. Serling’s first choice for that role was not himself, but Orson Welles.
- The episode “To Serve Man” shows aliens visiting Earth and offering to take them to their home planet. They say that they have nothing but benevolent purposes and possess a book titled To Serve Man. After linguists translate the text, they discover that it’s a cook book.That episode starred Lloyd Bochner as one of the translators. Bochner reprised his role and the episode’s most famous line in the movie The Naked Gun 2 1/2.
- Sterling wrote TV scripts throughout the late 40s and early 50s. His breakthrough script was for “Patterns,” a 1955 episode of Kraft Television Theater. This episode featured a very young Elizabeth Montgomery (later famous for Bewitched) in a tale of conflict and intrigue within the leadership of a corporation. It was enormously popular and earned Serling an Emmy.
The Unbelievable Skepticism of the Amazing Randi
I’ve been a fan of The Amazing Randi since I first heard of him decades ago.
Despite The Amazing Randi’s stage name, and ability to perform what appear to be supernatural feats, The Amazing Randi is quite the opposite of what you might expect.
While it is true that Randi can perform mind-reading stunts, bend spoons just as those who claim to do so via mental powers, escape from padlocked chains and the like, The Amazing Randi claims no supernatural powers.
In fact since 1964, Randi has been offering up an ever-increasing amount of his own money to anyone who can show scientific evidence of supernatural powers. The amount is now up to one million dollars and no one has ever collected. The challenge has become so popular it is now an annual weekend event attended by over 1,000 believers and skeptics alike.
The NY Times.com recently posted The Unbelievable Skepticism of the Amazing Randi by Adam Higginbotham and it is well worth a read!

Rare Pics of James Remar in James Cameron’s “Aliens” Before He Was Replaced

Rarely Seen Pilot to “The Orson Welles Show”
The video embedded below is to the rarely seen pilot to The Orson Welles Show.
The Orson Welles Show had it been picked up would have been a weekly anthology series hosted by, you guessed it, Orson Welles.
Sadly that was not to be. Otherwise Welles could have been mentioned right there with Serling and Hitchcock when folks spoke about the great anthology series that used to be on tv.
