The term camp—normally used as an adjective, even though earliest recorded uses employed it mainly as a verb—refers to the deliberate and sophisticated use of kitsch, mawkish or corny themes and styles in art, clothing or conversation. A part of the anti-Academic defense of popular culture in the sixties, camp came to academic prominence in the eighties with the widespread adoption of the Postmodern views on art and culture.

The best example of campy television would be the Batman series in the 60s. Lots of color, silly expressions (Holy Cannolli!) and wacky villains. I especially loved the climbing buildings when you could tell they just were tipping the camera.
