Featured review
That's no nut, boy. That's Captain Nice!
If you'll recall, Batman comics in the sixties were NOT dark. In fact it was quite colorful. The TV series was a reflection of the splashy pop art that was evident in the comics at the time. Anyone who says that the series made a dark hero silly, wasn't alive back then, or just plain wasn't paying attention. Batman wasn't dark then. The campy, comic-booky silliness that prevailed in the 60's gave birth to Captain Nice. Complete with laugh track and created by Buck Henry, William Daniels persnickety super-hero was a blast to watch. Way too short at a half hour, these adventures featured some of the greatest character actors of the day. Alice Ghostley as Mother was a riot as well, and I don't believe we ever did see Carter's father peer out from behind his newspaper. Why oh why isn't Captain Nice out on DVD yet? If you can get your hands on a copy of CN, do so. You'll get a great glimpse of a snapshot of time...the era known as the swingin' saucy sixties!
