Before the Bat: Adam West on Petticoat Junction (1964)

A few weeks back, we served up a pre-Batman appearance by Yvonne Craig on McHale's Navy. Now, it's time to give Batman himself, Adam West, some equal time.

Adam plays a doctor in an early episode of Petticoat Junction, summoned by Kate Bradley (Bea Benaderet, The Flintstones) to treat her Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan, ex-Judge Roy Bean).

Also, viewers are introduced to the Hooterville Hop, developed by actor-choreographer Paul DeKolf, who appears as Paul Henderson. Musical director Curt Massey, who sings the show's theme, is also the voice on the "Hooterville Hop" song.



No rating. Just a public service.
