What are you watching???

[the G-man]

Rewatched a handful of S3 episodes of Batman '66 this weekend for Batman Day 2024.

Man, they really leaned into the comedy with this S3, crossing the line from "camp" to overt parody/sitcom. Where, before, West and Ward generally played it straight against the absurd characters and situations they faced, here they were starting to comment and almost break the fourth wall as to how ridiculous everything was.

Thanks for the info. Now changing my VPN to the UK to watch the first episode on BBC Iplayer, and getting the popcorn ready to watch Ludwig.

Spoiler: Ludwig Music

Going with Ludwig Beethoven would be the natural choice. I like him showing up in the police station in place of his brother to Beethoven's Symphony #7 second movement. Then New Years Eve 1989 and playing the first part Symphony #9 choral after his father splits is exactly what I expected he would play on the phonograph.

 

[Adaptive Manipulator]

Ludwig is perhaps objectionable to some because of its black comedy and somewhat farcical appropriation of classic murder-mystery tropes that clash with normal police procedures. What it overlooks deliberately - making a joke about it - is the mountain of paperwork that each case would generate and the overhead of handling those arrested. It shouldn't be approached as being in any way realistic. It's perhaps not that original either as it contains elements of Morse, Monk, The Bridge, Line of Duty, A Touch of Cloth and Midsomer Murders mashed up with traditional whodunits.

I certainly don't object to the musical score. I felt is was spot on.

Spoiler: Ludwig

I wonder if the letter and the reason for it was the same as the twin boys mother received on New Years Eve 1989?

After Ludwig, I also watched:
FX: The Old Man IX
Comedy Central: The Daily Show with Desi Lydic.
