Egghead (Vincent Price) and Olga (Anne Baxter) are back in The Ogg Couple. Written by Stanford Sherman this episode was first aired on 21 December, 1967.

The episode was initially written to be part of a three-part episode tying in with The Ogg and I, and How to Hatch a Dinosaur but was re-edited to stand on its own.

Egghead and Olga are back in town and pulling all manner of heists in an effort to raise a dowry so that Egghead and Olga can finally marry, something Olga doesn’t seem too interested in, but definitely seems to be enjoying the criminal aspect of things.

Batgirl (Yvonne Craig) outmaneuvers Egghead, but still ends up falling afoul of both the supervillains, leading to Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) showing up just in time to rescue her.

With fisticuffs, of course.

I’ve really come around to Craig’s Batgirl, she’s a delight, though the character isn’t treated with the attention, and respect she deserves, needing to be rescued far too often, and not being a real equal of the dynamic duo. Price is always wonderful no matter what role he takes on, but Egghead may be my least favourite of his portrayals. The writing doesn’t give him much to chew on.

I love the camp, and I still love the idea of the show, it just doesn’t seem to be working as well as it did initially. Some of the episodes are great, while others just seem to limp along.

The baddies get captured, and things wrap up nicely, setting up the trials and tribulations for the next episode… Catwoman (Eartha Kitt) and the Joker (Cesar Romero) are back and working together!

The Funny Feline Felonies was written by Stanley Ralph Ross and was first broadcast on 28 December, 1967.

Joker is just getting out of prison and is picked up by Catwoman, who, according to plan, makes it look like a kidnapping so that later in the episode Joker can plead his innocence. Batman and Robin witness the event and automatically start working on tracking down the nefarious duo as they must be up to no good.

And indeed they are. Catwoman has a scheme that if they are able to steal a nightshirt and antique crib, they may find the map to a buried stash of gunpowder which they will be able to use in their next crime.

The path leads through the apartment of Little Louie Groovy (Dick Kallman), music producer and eventually to Londinium (which still looks like Southern California).

Batman, Robin and Batgirl pursue the villains, only to walk into a trap. Batman and Robin are almost mortally electrocuted by Joker’s hand buzzer, but some Batgirl antidote pills save the day, even as Catwoman, Joker and their thugs make their next plan, right outside the doors…

Looks like they’ll be back for the next episode!
