Anyone Remember This?
In 1978, there was a live-action prime-time version of "The Super-Friends," with Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin, and the Green Lantern and the Flash too...
Sort of.
What it was was a freakin' mess. For reasons unfathomable, it was a really lame comedy with a laugh-track.
I saw this as a kid. I was not sure until I read this site if I had dreamt this abomination or if I had really experienced it.
In the second episode, which was even more low-budget than the first, the Supervillains' secret plan is to defeat the heroes via a... celebrity roast of them, hosted by Ed MacMahon.
No, I'm not kidding. That's what they do.
More on this bizarre abortion here.
