L- Alright. Let's hear the last did you know fact from Adam. Adam, would you tell us why the Batman show ended?

A- The best way to answer that question, Levi, is finances. Batgirl was added at first because the show was not making money. 

L- I see.

A- And when the third season ended, the network was making less money. So they thought they'd cut the budget by eliminating Chief O'Hara and Robin. 

L- But then Batman wouldn't have a sidekick.

A- That's why they decided Batgirl would become Batman's official sidekick. 

L- But that didn't happen.

A- Right. William Dozier and I both refused. Mostly because I just couldn't let Burt go. 

L- Good. I don't like the idea of Batman without Robin.
