Even a proper light meter couldn't save this show from some really, really unbelievably stupid Network Executive decisions.
Even From Wikipedia:
"At the end of the third season, ABC planned to cut the budget by eliminating Chief O'Hara and Robin. Batgirl would become Batman's full time partner. Both Dozier and West opposed this idea, and ABC canceled the show a short time later.
Weeks later, NBC offered to pick the show up for a fourth season and even restore it to its twice a week format, if the sets were still available for use. However, NBC's offer came too late: Fox had already demolished the sets a week before. NBC didn't want to pay the $800,000 to rebuild, so the offer was withdrawn.
Batman was replaced on ABC by the sitcom "The Second Hundred Years."
Remember THAT one?
