I think some people now don't realise how big Adam West's Batman was back in the day.

To me the top 3 reasons to watch Season 3 of BATMAN are.

1) Yvonne Craig as Batgirl.
2) Joan Collins as the Siren.
3) Frank Gorshin returns as the Riddler.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I love the show (I own it all on DVD) and everyone in it, but for me the main reasons for watching it overall are Yvonne Craig as Batgirl, Julie Newmar as Catwoman, and Frank Gorshin as Riddler. As far as actual performances go, Gorshin is my favourite (Craig and Newmar I like for... other... reasons Shame they never got to meet onscreen).
