That's so strange I literally just saw him while watching an episode of 30 Rock. "I was told I'm getting a free meal" loved it.
I too grew up watching Batman with Mr. West. RIP Sir

He seemed like such a classy, humble guy that knew his limitations as an actor and appreciated the fame that came to him. He's a model for other actors, in my opinion, and was one-of-a-kind. He'll be missed.

Reruns of the Batman series are currently shown in the United States on the classic TV networks Heroes & Icons on Saturday mornings, MeTV on Saturday nights (midnight and 12:30 am tonight), weekdays dubbed in Spanish on TeleXitos, as well as Saturday mornings on IFC.
Near the end of the third season, Batman ratings had dropped significantly, and ABC cancelled the show. But NBC had agreed to take over the series and was ready to continue. Before that could happen, it was discovered that someone had destroyed the Batman sets which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to build, and the deal with NBC was lost.
Adam West was hilarious on Batman, while playing it straight. I loved his slow, drawn out explanations of how he figured out how to get out of impossible situations. R.I.P.

R.I.P. I loved his show as a kid - and he was a hilarious, deadpan Batman.

Nothing's funnier than when he would do the Batusi.

"Remember the Batusi?"
West begins dancing. Homer, Bart, and Lisa slowly back away.

TAPS for Adam West: Day is done, gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky; All is well, safely rest.

^ This. And his delivery when explaining the importance of road safety, not jaywalking, etc to Robin 😂 Great stuff - oh, and the pausing whilst climbing buildings to chat to whichever guest star opened the window...
Holy taxation Batman!
