Much of the reason West is sad wasn't MacFarlene's fault, Adam West felt he was not taken seriously as an actor ever since he played Batman. He didn't hate the franchise itself, but he hated that because the series was more or less geared towards kids, that he wouldn't be taken seriously by adults. This was when Kids stuck with kid shows and adults stuck with adult shows. Beware the Gray Ghost was pretty much based around Adam's life spliced together with Conroy's Batman representing many an audience that still admired him and aspired to do good because of him. It was the very thing that reignighted West's love of acting. Something like Family Guy was more or less something West did for kicks rather than a career. He's done many shows where he's poked fun of himself. My personal favorite was when he was on King of Queens. The normally nice Lou Ferrigno (Hulk) was invited by Spencer to attend a comic convention with him. Normally Lou was reluctant, but he does so anyway and even bought purple pants and green make up to reprise the part. While Spence was getting ready, he ran into Adam West, since he thought Batman was better than Hulk, he dumped Lou and took Adam instead. Adam to Spence's shock called him out for it stating that "Superhero actors stick together." And later kicks him out of his own car so he could take Lou instead of Spence. Later on he, Lou and Doug who was pissed at Spence over something else, planned revenge.
