Thursday is the 78th birthday for Burt Ward. He played Robin on the 60's TV series Batman. What a show. I remember being young and Batman was my favorite super hero. I especially enjoyed the animated series from the early 90's, although I did watch the 60's live action show too. When you're 4 or 5 it didn't seem like too bad of a show, although once you get older you see how low budget - even for then - it was! 

My ex's dad has told me that he watched it with his brother when it was on, and even then they sometimes would joke about how silly it could be. Even if we consider it silly, it is still a piece of Americana that Adam West, Burt Ward, and the many other actors who contributed to it will always be remembered for.
