When television started out, (officially 1925; actually 1949), it was very similar to the early days of the internet. Grade-A talent refused to take any chances on the "new" medium, so it was mostly inhabited by young untested talent and has-beens from the live stage, (doing variety acts).

Early Situation Comedies were based on "radio sit-coms", (Lucy, Jack Benny, and Life of Riley). During the day-time hours, children could watch old Cartoons that originally aired at the Theater, introduced by "Uncle _____"; House-Wives would watch poorly produced Soap Operas, (sponsored by laundry "soaps"); Men would watch sports.

Not everyone had a TV, so people would invite their friends over to watch television. My mom says that she used to watch farm reports, because it was the only thing on in the morning, (3 channels; Dumont, NBC & CBS). Fox signed on in the late 80's, during a writer's strike, (featured Summer Football).

How have the images of Batman changed over time?

The depiction of Batman has changed with the development of television and movies. While the comic book character was often darker, the 1960s TV show took a more comedic, campy approach. In the 1990s, the Tim Burton movies reverted back to a darker image, and over time, the character has continued to be depicted with dark colors, rigid features and serious content.
