12.01.09 BATMAN AND CAPTAIN KIRK CONQUER THE WORLD

alexanderpilot

Before William Shatner was Captain Kirk and Adam West was Batman, they filmed a pilot (below) called Alexander the Great. Shatner in a miniskirt? Bathtub scene? Check and check. The pilot filmed in 1964, but didn’t air until 1968, after West and Shatner had become household names. West was hoping no one would ever see this pilot, but he of all people should know that some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb.

They still don’t make screens big enough for the both of them to share.

This was apparently filmed before Shatner lost his hearing due to the sound of his awesomeness?

There’s no way this is worse than that Colin Farrell piece of shit.

William Shatner The Great is greater than Alexander the Great. I thought this was common knowledge.

Adam West’s current radio commercials crack me up.
