[TVC15]

[QUOTE]Director Leslie H. Martinson, who worked on more than 100 television series during his prolific career and helmed Batman: The Movie in 27 days between the first two seasons of the wildly popular 1960s ABC show, has died. He was 101.

Martinson, who seemingly directed episodes of every TV program from The Roy Rogers Show in 1953 to the late 1980s syndicated comedy Small Wonder, died Saturday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, his family announced.[/QUOTE]

Talk about a long life. Not sure if this is another victim of 2016, I'm more surprised that he lived that long!

So that's why all those old TV shows feel the same.
They're directed by the same dude.

Oh wait, Batman in 1966 also had a movie? Thought it was just a TV Series.

The movie had the (in)famous scene with exploding shark, Batman, A helicopter and a shark repellent.

Holy fuck 101 is a ripe age

Can't be sad for a death at 101, especially if it was a peaceful one. He lived a good, full life.
