Holy marathon! The Family Channel is going batty on Labor Day, presenting a nine-hour “Batman” marathon (Monday at 1 p.m.), featuring select episodes that pit the Dynamic Duo Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward) against some of the series’ most popular villains. The marathon kicks off with the Riddler (Frank Gorshin) attempting to take over Gotham City’s fight game. Other adventures feature Mr. Freeze (Eli Wallach) nearly turning the country into a giant iceberg and Catwoman (Eartha Kitt/Julie Newmar) and her attempts to defeat Batman. The 1966 “Batman” feature film concludes the marathon.

A pre-”Mary Tyler Moore” Gavin McLeod guests on “The Dick Van Dyke Show” (Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon) in an episode in which Rob gives Laura an ugly necklace.
