Glad he is still with us, we are losing so many of our stars from the 1960s-70s, Batman will forever be a piece of my 60s childhood TV viewing, he's forever "Robin" and he was so cute then..
of all the original cast of Batman-only Burt Ward, Julie Newmar (who is 90) and John Astin (who played Riddler for 2 episodes when Frank Gorshin had a contract dispute) are still alive.
I was about 3 in '72. The show was on every day at 4pm in syndication. When it ended, I always started crying. One of my first memories of TV. That and Adam-12/Emergency.
I met him at a personal appearance at a car dealership in Washington State in 1978. He told my mom she was pretty. I asked him what it was like to ride in the batmobile. He said it was like riding in a sherman tank, and the guy that designed it should be "strung up" lol. I got to try on his green gloves.
I also met him at a car dealership in Washington State, but it was the city of Yakima, WA, in 1976. He was wearing his full costume, and I was in third grade. He had also visited our grade school, Michael T. Simmons school in another city in Washington when I lived there (Tumwater, WA) earlier that year.
I used to love watching Batman as a kid. When I was a kid, the VCR did not hit the market yet. So us kids used to rush home every day after school to watch Batman at 4 PM. As a kid, Batman was exciting to watch. As an adult, it's hilarious.
He still sounds like a kid. I'm glad he got the part, it wouldn't have been the same without him. I was in high school 14 at the time and I thought Robin was cute but Batman was my crush.
One of the Coolest moment's of my life was Meeting Adam West , Burt Ward and Julie Newmar at a comic book convention in 2003 , I think. It Cost me over $ 250 bucks for there autographs but I don't regret it 😁👍
I was a 7 year old boy (growing up in DunDrum Ireland) when all us lads fell heads over heels with Batman & Robin. It was easier to immigrate to America for me because that’s where Batman & Robin lived!
BW is such a Great person!! I saw dogfood on a show & called buy it. He called me back & was super nice, i had no idea who was on line, huge Batman fan of 60s tv show as kid. He was Amazing 🏆💕🌼🍃 & made my decade speaking to Robyn!! Lol Wonderful DogFood & Kind Human being!! Ty !!
He was the first guy I ever had a crush on. 😅 I was only 10 or 11 and fell heads over hills for him in Batman. I was so lucky to have met him back in 2012!
I was 7 when it started and the Theme song was my favorite, I took my cassette recorder and recorded with the mic 6 weeks in a row, now I had the song to play for almost 2 minutes.
That show was so fun to watch. Burt Ward and Adam West were so fun to watch. My brothers were attending Palos Verdes High School when they did some filming nearby the school. A big deal to hear about the Batmobile in the area.
I don't think anyone who wasn't around as a kid back in '66 can wrap their head around how popular this show was. The TV show, Batman bubble gum cards, Batman toys.....it was integrated into our childhoods. I watch them now and laugh mostly, it's silly but it WAS the greatest thing on TV back then.
@@marcofreitas3844 Since Bonnie is the aggrieved party I'm sure her recollection would be much more revealing. After all, she had just had a baby when your hero dumped her.
@@gerrydooley951 Yeah...let´s cancel him! And since we will be with the torches, let´s take the opportunity to burn every musician and star who did something wrong in their private lives at the stake. Then, after that, we will go the internet to show off how noble we are so we can feel better about ourselves.
A whole generation of kids jumped into the family station wagon, fastening seat belts while announcing "Atomic batteries to power! Turbines to speed!" And I can't count the number of times over the years that I've heard guys proclaim "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!" The show was PROUD to be campy, but was presented without being farcical -- it was at the pivot point between shows which were made for a family to watch and shows which tried to be edgy and "relevant." Any attempt to do a show like this today would be transparently cynical, but there wasn't a drop of that to be found. This is reflected in Burt's activism over the last few years, the "Gentle Giants" program which rescues large-breed dogs and places them into loving homes. Nothing political, no ranting and raving for publicity, just a need that he and his wife work to fill. They don't even demand that taxpayers foot the bill -- they developed Gentle Giants dog food to support their program.
Burt Ward is the greatest storyteller about his life and career in television and movies and thankfully he's still alive and well and he's in his 70's and birthday is in 2 more months and he will be 78 years old until July 6th 2023
Life on Earth is Burt Ward getting past 1,100 other actors going for a film role he had no idea of; he played himself to get the part. What we see is acting naturally is the big winner.
Yes he was a total natural, very believable, but I iften wonder if he really did have no idea what he was auditioning for. I wonder if he was just saying that for a good spin. It makes for a good story, but...wasn't he given sides in advance?
Burt has been a hero to me for nearly 60 years now. As a Caped Crusader with the great Adam West to the Canine Crusader with his awesome wife, Tracy. It's an honor to know them.
since I have ben viewing these vids I'm getting to. understand. burt eard. the mighty robin. burt. is still burt and he is a awesome. cool guy . the way Mr burt ward walked in to his gift in life. was very. comabunga dude. to the bat cave robin!!!
am watching the series for the first time. Robin is the best part. he puts his all into every scene. he could have been such an annoying twerp if he played it wrong, he is just perfect.
I saw Burt Ward at a autograph signing at a furniture store in Sacramento where I lived, I was 12-13 at the time in 68? He was dressed as Robin, and he looked bored to F##K ! At the time mom , me and a friend was there, not many people were there ….I asked him where Gotham City was ( I didn’t know?) he said New York….I would like to meet him again, I’ll ask him if he remember’s me…..hahaha! I loved Batman on TV…But actually, I liked Robin better…….
Who wouldn't be bored signing scraps of paper in front of a furniture shop...dressed in full costume. Holy hassle! I always felt it was unfair that, according to himself, he was denied the opportunity to audition for "The Graduate" by either Batman producers or ABC. They were concerned about breaking the illusion of Robin. Give me a break. Anyone would realize he wasn't really a psychedelically clad crimefighter. I sae reruns as a kid and I knew at that age he wad only playing a character on tv. It would have been fun to see him as Benjamin Braddock. Who knows, maybe it would have been Burt Ward as Tootsie 15 years later. Robin was a good name for his character because he really was robbed.
@@farrellmcnulty909 Agree, he was actually hidden in the back of store, the gave him a table and a something to sit on…..and he clearly wasn’t enjoying himself….can’t remember if it was a weekday or weekend but nobody was there except for me and a younger male friend and the male friend looked under table and saw a rip in one of his tights ,,,,,just to make matters worse ….I’m sure he didn’t appreciate little kids looking under the table( not me of course) He could have gone on to a more lucrative career ……but that didn’t happen unfortunately …….still like Burt Ward.
@@francesfarmer736 A rip in his tights? God, that's sad for him. True, he was new to television, but he was still a big name in the medium. From what I hear, he didn't get any respect whatsoever. Countless actors and actresses were really put through the mill and it's not right that they didn't get half the pleasure out of giving the performance as we got from watching it.
I don’t mean anything disrespectful by this, but Burt does something interesting as he talks about the casting call starting around @1:30. He looks emotional for a moment around the @1:40 mark. I saw a similar look by Carol Burnett when Dick Cavett asked her naively on his show whether the casting couch was a thing. I’m not sure whether this was because there was a ‘casting couch’ for young male actors too like Burt Ward, or maybe he was just recalling what a big break that was, and how it changed his life. Again, no disrespect meant. Just something I’m curious about, whether that was a thing in Hollywood.
I must be a weirdo. I first saw the show at age 7 or so but Adam West's Batman was my big crush. I wanted to be Catwoman and have a secret romance with Batman.
I'm sorry but The Ambiguously Gay Duo just pops into my brain on any mention of Robin or any actor so engaged. Has nothing to do with Burt at all and is totally unfair to him but that SNL skit is just burned into my brain.
the funny thing is about that batmobile shot you can barely see robins face clear, so they could have damn well used his stuntman think they was maybe torturing burt
This guy fought Bruce Lee to a draw. Well, the Batman producers wanted you to think it was so. And how they ever convinced Bruce to do that was insane.
Bruce wasn’t really that tough. Even that stuntman Cliff Booth took him down on the studio lot that one time. Dented a car with his body in the process.
Batman was two half hour shows played two days apart, While the total time was an hour, had they shown it in a one hour weekly series, it wouldn't have worked. Besides the nostalgic feelings of the old Batman comics, it also brought many people back to the old movie serials with the cliff hangers.
13:17 - it's funny, you can tell Robin's stunt double, Victor Paul, from a mile away - in the middle of the bat fight, Robin's hairline suddenly recedes and his nose suddenly protrudes from under his mask. Now those shots were further up-close than that establishing bat-cave shot where the car speeds out. The funny thing is we all could see it as plain as day, yet there was no bother about it.
That’s why they call them tights, I wonder why he didn’t wear them to the interview. Amazing how he remembered all his lines “POW” “KABOOM”!!!!! Now back to the Krispy Kreme, commercial.
What about the story that when ABC/Greenwood Productions canceled Batman after season 3, NBC wanted to pick up the show but because they had destroyed the Batcave (and most of the sets) they passed on it In interviews Adam West has said the Batcave alone cost $800K to build (in 1968 dollars) and the cost to rebuild it wouldn't have been worth it.
If I could live any celebrities life it's tough to think of one that would be better than Burt Ward's. He had this great t.v. show from age 19 to 21, had all his dreams come true with women and then some, and in the last twenty plus years he's been happily married and rescuing so many dogs, plus he created a dog food to expand the life expectancy by so much of these bigger dogs- what an amazing life. I'd rather live his life over the lives of Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk any day.
Well, no. To be fair, Burt has gone to do other things. He's continued to invest in real estate. He has his large-breed dog rescue, as well as his educational-video production company. Sure, Burt might be best remembered as Robin, but he has other stuff, too
Burt Ward's treatment of this young man is so inexcusable that, to me, it is a blot on the makers of Batman on TV. I liked all the characters on the screen, but the character of the men responsible for all this accidents, well it is a good thing Burt is able to recount it all. Today is August 1st '24.
Otto Preminger, who played Mr. Freeze on one episode. Preminger was an influential Oscar-nominated director but also acted. Executive producer Bill Dozier said Preminger begged to be cast as a villain to please his kids. But he was apparently hard to work with and unpopular with the cast, especially Alan Napier (Alfred) who had worked with him before. He wasn't invited back.
So glad he got the part, he made a huge contribution to the classic show.
Yup he's the original TV Robin everybody is known for a specific role this role is what Burt Ward is known for and will be forever
Glad he is still with us, we are losing so many of our stars from the 1960s-70s, Batman will forever be a piece of my 60s childhood TV viewing, he's forever "Robin" and he was so cute then..
yes..but I could never tell it was Burt Ward now..unrecognisable
of all the original cast of Batman-only Burt Ward, Julie Newmar (who is 90) and John Astin (who played Riddler for 2 episodes when Frank Gorshin had a contract dispute) are still alive.
@@bufnyfan1 Thanks for the 411..
I was about 3 in '72. The show was on every day at 4pm in syndication. When it ended, I always started crying. One of my first memories of TV. That and Adam-12/Emergency.
“Robin…I’m glad you noticed the oncoming THRUST of Manhood.” Now that’s a classic Batman line. 😂😂😂
He was very lucky to have met so many famous actors making guest appearances on Batman.
I met him at a personal appearance at a car dealership in Washington State in 1978. He told my mom she was pretty. I asked him what it was like to ride in the batmobile. He said it was like riding in a sherman tank, and the guy that designed it should be "strung up" lol. I got to try on his green gloves.
I also met him at a car dealership in Washington State, but it was the city of Yakima, WA, in 1976. He was wearing his full costume, and I was in third grade. He had also visited our grade school, Michael T. Simmons school in another city in Washington when I lived there (Tumwater, WA) earlier that year.

It was very nice to see him Crisis on Infinite Earths. Sure, it was only a little cameo, but it showed that the old Batman series was not forgotten.
Chosen over 1,099 other actors. He threaded the needle and the rest is history.

Can we just stop and talk about how gorgeous he was back then! I mean stunning! He went through so much...and was the least paid! I mean wow.

Brilliant!!
He was brown belt karate,during the series he earned black belt
I didn't know Ward was a black belt. Which demonstrates the difference between the average black belt and Bruce Lee.

He still has a young sounding voice. His voice is still in its 20s.
Love him!
Watch the show every afternoon( the day after the original airing )because of the censorship here in Baltimore.

They should write biographies on both Burt and Adam
They both wrote a autobiography
Good stuff

Now this is a good guy; not so full of himself.

Imagine telling the same stories from 1966 for 60 years. Nothing else happened. Sad
Well, no. To be fair, Burt has gone to do other things. He's continued to invest in real estate. He has his large-breed dog rescue, as well as his educational-video production company. Sure, Burt might be best remembered as Robin, but he has other stuff, too

Burt Ward's treatment of this young man is so inexcusable that, to me, it is a blot on the makers of Batman on TV. I liked all the characters on the screen, but the character
of the men responsible for all this accidents, well
it is a good thing Burt is
able to recount it all.
Today is August 1st '24.
Erase (Burt Ward's) as I did not mean that. What I meant to say (the studio's) treatment.
31:01 who is he talking about?
Otto Preminger, who played Mr. Freeze on one episode. Preminger was an influential Oscar-nominated director but also acted. Executive producer Bill Dozier said Preminger begged to be cast as a villain to please his kids. But he was apparently hard to work with and unpopular with the cast, especially Alan Napier (Alfred) who had worked with him before. He wasn't invited back.
After the first season
19:46 This was NEVER said on the show.
:-) You mean the line that Burt precedes with: "One of the "Holies!" I didn't want to do..."? Shocking.
he did say that he hated it too much to say it
Lol 69 comments before mine Batman and robin is sweet
Wait were those accidents or someone trying to get rid of him?
Accidents
He brings you to the mind of jerry mathers except the beaver has a bigger nose
- Cool guy. Great stories. He should have received hazardous duty pay .. _!!_
