I was fortunate in both high school and college to have teachers who taught us to appreciate the writings themselves. Leave this nonsense about "who wrote what?" to the scholars. Shakespeare wrote for the public, not for a pack of nerdy academics.

Part of the appeal of the 60s show was the cheesy sets and the Dr. Denton pajamas for the family, plus the geeky old villain. It was just about as spoofy as the Batman villains of the same period.
