10 Ways Adam West Proved He Was The Best Batman

By Tanya
Everyone has their favorite Batman, Whether it is the more recent Christian Bale, the classic Michael Keaton, or the only right answer in my opinion: Adam West. His Batman was the most fun by far, and while it was extraordinarily campy and goofy, it was aware of that and made the most of it. You might try to argue that the dark and gritty Batman is a lot more entertaining to watch, but you know what, there is so much more to Batman than his awesome fighting skills and gravelly voice. Adam West's campy Batman show is obviously one of

By Tanya
"Ten years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.

The Wonder Years is one of the greatest shows from the '80s. It helped launch the careers of some very recognizable child actors, while simultaneously becoming one of the most iconic shows of a generation.

The story line essentially was that Ted Lawson, engineer and inventor developed a robot to assist handicapped children and then he brought it home to help it mature. The robot obviously had to go through some changes over the years because she was a real human kid who aged and grew up over the four seasons. The show handled this by getting Ted to give Vicki some "upgrades" over the years. It's

By Tanya
No one seems to remember this bizarre piece of television history. Everyone who I have ever asked about this show denies that it existed, but obviously it was a real thing because I am not capable of making it up, it's too weird. Maybe people are just trying to forget it because of how awful it was? What show am I talking about? The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! And yes, the exclamation point is part of the title. The show only lasted one season, but wow did it ever leave an impression (on those who haven't blocked it out)
