Love Family guy, but didn’t give a shit about Batman original series, so only heard of Adam West through this. Very sad. So in the last 7 months Family guy lost Carrie Fisher and Adam West. Looks like the mayor will be written out.
As well as the previously mentioned Simpsons cameo and being the Mayor on Family Guy, I also remember Adam West playing a character based on himself (“TV’s Adam West”) in the rather quirky but fairly well written Nickelodeon cartoon that was The Fairly Odd Parents.
Actually that probably wouldn’t be such a bad move for Family Guy. If they got Burt ward to do that role , like another corrupt mayor. Yeah just what Quahog needs.
