Adam West Hosts New PBS My Music Special This Weekend

[NJ_Batfan]

Just saw this listing in my on-screen guide. The premiere in the New York City market is tonight on WLIW 21 at 9 PM, but depending on your station/area, this special will air throughout December's PBS Pledge Drives.


Rock Rewind 1965-1967 (My Music)

The Sixties was a period of massive social and political upheaval in America. While much of these changes were reflected in the popular songs of the era, many performers also sang of fun, romance and good times. Iconic actor Adam West, best known as the "Caped Crusader" on the '60s TV version of Batman, hosts this newly-assembled special with archival performances of hits that still resonate nearly half a century later.

Additional airdates in NYC are Nov 30 at 11:30am and 10:30 PM on WLIW and Dec. 13 at 9 PM on Thirteen. Check your local listings, as they say.

Thanks for the heads-up on this!

Unfortunately I have to wait til next weekend on my PBS station.

I caught a snippet of this the other day...while I enjoy watching Adam do his thing, there was a segment when a female host and Adam were chatting that was pretty awful. It was like they hadn't prepped at all, then had to stand there and try to banter back and forth about the value of PBS and the old music, but it was sort of uncomfortable to watch.

In all fairness to Adam, the PBS lady was the one who seemed to be trying to do all the forced conversation. It was like watching a host on QVC trying to sell a product they don't use or have never seen. At any rate, I bailed.
