    I’ve copied all of the episodes and bonuses to my Plex server so I will also be safe should the discs suffer a premature demise :)

    The Adventures of Superman

    It never hurts to write to Warner but I’m not sure you’ll get a lot of luck there, unfortunately. Might be worth trying as you never know but keep expectations low. (The sets themselves are technically out of print; the extraordinary customer service coordinator they had was laid off a couple...

    The Adventures of Superman

    It was colorized for a recent airing on CBS, probably within the last five years.

    The Adventures of Superman

    I’m not even a boomer and it still brings me to my happy place. The very first episode is also a genuinely good telling of the origin story that I’m perfectly happy to watch on its own when I’m in a superhero mood.

    Huh? Discovery just bought Warner Brothers from AT&T.

    They’re in standard definition but they look and sound pretty good. If you have the 2006 deluxe DVD box set of Superman films, it’s the same masters used in that set. I know it’s not HD but I’m pretty satisfied with them.

    I’m pretty sure they did. It was also included as a bonus feature in the Superman movie box set that came out in 2006 around the same time the series was coming to disc.

    I remember enjoying the film and particularly Affleck’s performance when I saw it, but after more than a decade I have to admit I can’t remember any of the details. Maybe it’s time to see it again one of these days.

    The Adventures of Superman

    If the movie was about Superman, I’d say yes. But it’s a movie about the death of George Reeves, who just so happened to play Superman, and I think fair use would allow the brief usage of the logo in that specific context. That’s an argument for lawyers but I think there’s a reasonable case to...

    The Adventures of Superman

    There’s probably a “fair use” argument to be made where they may not have needed permission to show it.

    The Adventures of Superman

    For that one specific episode, apparently there was no 35mm element readily available so it came from a 16mm print - I think the quality of the episode’s entertainment is more than enough to make up for the presentation shortcomings but yeah, it’s rough.
