Of course they knew it was ridiculous, all I'm saying is look back at the ridiculousness of the comics at that time. That allowed it.

Always felt like Adam West etc "retconned" the campiness of the show by saying it was intentional.

Don't you know, there were NO gripping, dark cop dramas broadcast before the Code was abolished? Noir was never a thing!

Grew up w/ Batman: show taken seriously, then dismissed as kiddie fare. Rewatched a little older (12-14) & stunned to discover comedy.

Wasn't just me who had this experience: my friends did as well.
