Why The False Face ?

Before the 1970's there were no cable or satellite just free programming and the commerical breaks were only a minute long except between shows were the commericals were three to three and half minutes long.

In 1966 a comedy show named "Batman" came to the air and believe it or not that show saved ABC. At that time every singing, movie or tv star wanted to be a guess villain on Batman. Naturally, they did not have room for them all so they let them have walk-in cameos.

I am assuming  that is why they created False Face a master of disguise so the actors/actresses could pretend they're False Face in disguise ,but False Face was only shown in one two part episode,so they came up with just stars popping their head out of the window cameos when Batman and Robin were climbing the walls.

Now it was not always  cameos  some co-starred as villain sidekicks  like the late Lesley Gore "Pussycat" and Linda Scott who was famous  for singing the song "I've Told Every Little Star" she protrayed "Moth" in the episodes "The Ring of Wax" and "Give 'Em The Axe"

This Saturday March 7, 2015 METV will be airing both episodes of "The Ring Of Wax" and "Give Then The Axe"  on METV starting at 7 PM EST time and co-starring the singer Linda Scott as Moth.Is Batman going to wax serious ?--lol

Now the singers, actors, and tv stars do not always play guess villians on Batman sometimes the play themselves for example the singing duo Chad and Jeremy.

Why do I watch shows like these ?  Well, I use to watch iCarly, Victorious, True Jackson VP and Sam & Cat on Saturday nights since they went off I went to METV's Sci-Fi night and if not for that I would watch "The Big Bang Theory" on TBS. 

I want to watch something fun on Saturday nights and nothing serious and speaking of Victorious Jade West would have made a perfect "Poison Ivy" if she was around then in the years 1966-1968.

Now  in about 1967 ,CBS tried to follow suit by having a program that makes fun of  the Superman character when he flew he had to flap his arms that show only lasted three weeks, and unfortunately after about 1 1/2 years production cost rose and the Batman comedy series went downhill from there. :(
