Welcome to the Weekend Drive-In! Some guys spend the weekends watching sports. I, however, dedicate every weekend to B-movies, classic TV shows, rock n’ roll, comics and other “drive-in” style fare. Stay tuned to this blog for news, reviews and previews of what’s on cable/satellite TV each weekend. Also look for updates from the world of cult films, rock music and similar-minded topics. So, grab a cocktail, kick back and enjoy your visit to the Weekend Drive-In!

Holy Hub!
Hooray for the Hub!
This is pretty much a kid's channel, but it's the only channel around that airs the original "Batman" series (at 10:30 p.m. and 2 a.m....not exactly primetime, so set the DVR).
Now, this is old school Batman...not exactly "The Dark Knight." No complaints from the Weekend Drive-In! I actually prefer Adam West's stoic delivery to Christian Bale's raspy rants. The same goes for the villains. Frank Gorshin rules as the Riddler and Victor Buono's King Tut is a vastly underrated Bat-foe.
Speaking of West, the 82-year old former super hero is now a painter. He recently unveiled a collection of Batman paintings at a Beverly Hills gallery.
