And yeah, I will be harsh on Rogen. I don't like his brand of comedy."Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."Comment

Since I'm DVRless, my wife taped all of these for me yesterday. I watched it from 7 to 11 and was hooked! I found myself wishing Batman had been played straight. I've long struggled with the campiness of Batman. I guess I still feel somewhat like the betrayed 10 year old when I realized Batman was goofy on purpose. I actually kind of hated the show during the late 80s when I thought Batman was nothing but dark and serious. I know better now, but the Hornet show makes me wonder what could have been with a different approach...
But onto the show itself. Bruce Lee is the man, and it was fun watching him totally wreck the bad guys, but I think Van Williams gets the shaft. He cut a very convincing hero. Very driven. He looked the part and was totally convincing as Britt and the Hornet. He carried the show from what I saw. I always hear him mentioned in passing with this series, and now I know that is wrong.
My only gripe is the opening pretty much stunk. Looks like they cobbled on together for a pilot and never went back and redid it. After Batman's spectacular opening, I was expecting something as equally cool.
I know a lot of folks are harshing on the new movie, and I have my reservations as well (although I'm willing to give it a shot), but I thank it for finally giving me a chance to see this show after 36 years!
