Pants is something good right?Since I was the high voter on the show at #39, I'll testify for the defense.
It's mostly a nostalgia pick; Batman is the second show (after Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color (unranked)) I can remember watching as a kid. I distinctly remember being upset when my pre-communion class conflicted with one of the nights it was on.
As a child, I liked the action and preposterous cliffhangers which I analyzed with my friends at Fairview elementary school during recess. When I re-watched as an adult, I appreciated the campiness, casting choices and pop art visuals with bright colors, dutch angles and superimposed fight sounds. The show fell off in the third season with one-parters featuring Batgirl but for a while it represented the zeitgeist of the mid-60 as well as any show from that era.
Part of the appeal is that we now know that Adam West and Burt Ward were banging groupies before, during and after filming every day during the show's run. Some of the stories are as campy and extraordinary as the show was.
is there a book out on this - or an article you are referring?

I liked that 70s show a lot, just not enough. Really like the supporting characters like Red and Leo

I think the legendary Batman cast debauchery is well documented. I don’t have a link but it’s not hard to find.

Did somebody do your rankings for you or are you just old?

Mostly just old. I used one of the ranker apps and reviewed it pretty quickly when it was finished. I would have thought I had it in the 15-20 range.

Premise, cinematography, acting and writing are all great. It's just a fun, but brutal ride. And with it wrapping up this summer, it will not overstay its welcome like so many other shows.
Also, whenever I rank foreign shows, it's with the footnote that you are NOT watching the dubbed version. It's inferior in just about every case.
zamboni

It's been high on my list to watch as well, but seems to be very polarizing among those I've talked to. Some seem to love it, others meh.
Gatorade

No, this one fits into my two least favorite show categories.
Game shows
Reality shows
Great choice. I never thought about lumping all of the 30 for 30 as a single "show". In my mind they were all separate documentaries and didn't want to pick out a single topic.173 - 30 for 30

I don't really have a desire to watch it. I don't know much about it other than being some sort of game where people die off. I also am not a fan of subtitles and dubbing does take away as well so that is another knock on it for me. I might watch an episode to get a feel for it but don't have high hopes.

don’t think Squid Game falls in either of those categories imo

They made a competition show after the actual show

Yeah I assume it’s the actual snow ranked. Season 1 was pretty good but didn’t love the ending. Season 2 didn’t really capture my attention

The one ranked here is the drama. It's not a game show or reality show.

I think my blurb works best with this reply-
What the hell am I watching? Why the … can't I turn it off?

I believe that early on in this thread it was discussed whether this was a series or a bunch of standalone made for TV movies. We were told series.Great choice.

I just thought it was in another language, so it's out for me.
The only foreign language show or film I ever enjoyed was this one in French my senior year of college. A town had like an accident or something and there may be were ghosts or something. It was very romantic and sad. I can't say for sure it was amazing, but the classmate I started (and finished) watching on the couch of after our audit project was very attractive and she was just in the absolute most desired mood every time we watched it...
Now that I think about it...Maybe the show was just ok and the other memories are what make me recall it so fondly!

I enjoyed the first season of SG, but did not care for the second season at all.

I really enjoyed this one, obviously. I feel like it's a better watch if you just completely forget that it's tied to Yellowstone. it's amazing as a standalone one season show.

I have another foreign language show higher on my list (not counting some British stuff I probably need subtitles for) that I will recommend you check out when it gets revealed - I’m pretty sure there will be others ranking this one.

At first I thought you might have been referring to The Benny Hill Show, in particular when he sings.
Dan Lambskin
Footballguy
I don’t mind foreign language shows, but I’m not a huge fan of subtitles, especially if I’m binging something. So a lot of times I’ll opt for the dubbed version, even though that can be distracting in its own way

I love Shameless!....Great characters! It's such a train wreck.....Joan Cusack is low-key awesome
Squid game......I tried the first couple episodes and lost interest immediately, and wondered "why the hell is this so popular?"
1883.....Totally awesome! Better than Yellowstone.
Love me some 30 for 30....best thing on ESPN

It's only one season so it fits your criteria. You should give it a shot.
