When I wrote about the comedy team of Davis & Reese in this post, I had no idea I'd be spending so much blog space on them…but it's my fault. I had to go and mention a TV special/pilot I remembered that they did…perhaps the first-ever spoof of the 1966 Batman TV series. And yes, I know that program was kind of a spoof itself.
Thanks to industrious readers of this site, we have since found out more about the Catman and Reuben show, which as far as I now know consisted of one one-hour pilot that was so poorly-received, it led to no more. But as you'll see in our new section, its makers apparently thought it was going to turn into a weekly series seen in many of the major markets.
Yes, to remove the topic from this section of newsfromme.com, I've opened a new section as kind of a repository/scrapbook for research and clippings devoted to this silly endeavor…and I even designed a Catman and Reuben title logo for the page. That logo is not from the original show. If you're interested in this little nugget of TV/comic book history, go visit our new Catman and Reuben page.
