Adam West on 'Zorro' Saturday

Post by Gleeps, it's Batman »

Wow, I think I'm the most unobservant person on the planet. I just noticed that Bat Events includes TV and Movie appearances. I've been posting Adam West's TV guest shots in the Off Topic folder. :roll:

A question, though ... does this include ALL TV and movie appearances, or only if they relate to Batman? This Zorro episode definitely relates to Batman.

Here's my original post pasted from the Off Topic folder:

Adam West's episode of Zorro will be on Retro TV on Saturday the 14th at 1:30pm Eastern time.

Apparently the episode has several Batman references in it. Pasting from someone's review on IMDB:
At one point, Zorro gives away his secret identity to "Professor Wayne" (the name-play obvious, especially with the character being played by Adam West). Zorro even shows Professor Wayne his secret underground lair (where he hides his horse Toronado--that poor stallion never seems to get out in the sun much!). The Professor comments that having a cave as a secret headquarters for fighting a battle for justice is a wonderful idea.
and a quote from the show put on IMDB:
Dr. Henry Wayne: Incredible! A secret cave - how splendid!
Zorro: I thought you might appreciate it.
Dr. Henry Wayne: Oh, I do, I do... Is that a laboratory I see?
Zorro: Exactly. I have great respect for scientific endeavor, Dr. Wayne, so long as it is used for progress and not suppression. You do have a certain inventive genius.
Dr. Henry Wayne: You really think so?
Zorro: The only proof of it will be what good you can do with it. Any fool can wreak havoc.

Is that a Guy Williams Zorro (Disney) from the 50's or something more recent. If it was, that dialog would be prophetic. If more recent, say after 1968, then it fits with the "Campy" humor of the show! Nice find either way! One sort of spawned the other....
Some days you just can't get rid of a ... SHARK!

I've been trying to get this show transferred to my computer in case anyone wants a copy of it since RetroTV isn't available in as many television markets as ME-TV is, but the files are turning out way too big to email. If anybody wants the file and has any idea of how to cut it down or doesn't care how big it is, please PM me.
