    The Adventures of Superman

    Forgot all about the annuals I had that very one), so thanks for the memory! I always thought it was funny that the Noel Neill biography lists The Music Man as one of her screen credits (where you can barely find her among the locals) and leaves out An American in Paris where she has a speaking...

    The Adventures of Superman

    I agree. It would cost a fortune to clean up and repair and make viable for Blu-ray. We're stuck with what we've got.

    The Adventures of Superman

    I could be mistaken, but it seems like that was the disc that went bad in my sets. I just went ahead and bought the entire run on Vudu streaming when it was on sale. It's in SD, so it's the same quality as the DVDs, but at least I won't be worrying about any of the other discs going bad. I kept...

    They did (I was one of them) which is why Superman occasionally makes a special effort to remind kids on the shows that no one can do the things that Superman does.

    The Adventures of Superman

    George's stunt double is easy to spot in the still shots.

    Colorization has come a long, long way in the last decade.

    Yes, he was. The Adventures of Sir Galahad.

    The Adventures of Superman

    I have bought the streaming seasons when discs have gone bad in my DVD sets. I'd love to have the entire run in HD. Never tire of watching the show, even the weaker entries. Knowing how many corners got cut to save money, the shows still manage to entertain mightily and are irreplaceable for us...

    The Adventures of Superman

    Last week, I went through the Season 3/4 color box set, and I enjoyed those episodes much more than I remembered. It was only in seasons 5/6 that they began to overuse Professor Pepperwinkle and do episodes on such slight budgets that it seemed the walls of the sets might come crashing down at...

    The Adventures of Superman

    I bought the two black and white seasons on Vudu when they were on sale for $10 each last week and have been slowly watching them at lunchtime. They're still SD and likely the same transfers as the DVDs, but it's nice not having to get up from my chair and fiddle with discs (it's called...

    The Adventures of Superman

    I really enjoyed revisiting the episode through your photo essay, Neal. I've never understood why Lois, Jimmy, and Perry don't recognize Superman once Clark is out of his glasses and in bed, but I guess the identity logic about this has never made sense, and we must just accept it as part of the...

    The Adventures of Superman

    If only director Mark Sandrich hadn't died. According to George, Mark had plans to make George a star after the war. Sadly, Mark didn't live long enough to make good on his promise.

    The Adventures of Superman

    Yes, George Reeves was indeed a fine actor. Just seeing him in non-Superman roles in films like Rancho Notorious and From Here to Eternity, for example, shows that he had a lot more arrows in his quiver than just Superman/Clark Kent.

    The Adventures of Superman

    According to Jack Larson, contracts had been signed for another season of 13 episodes with George set to direct several of them as well as starring as Clark/Superman. Pierre Watkin had also been signed to play Perry White since John Hamilton died after season six was in the can.

    The Adventures of Superman

    Neal, I loved in that top picture of Superman's world the terrific imp Mr. Mxyzptlk lounging on a cloud waiting to contract some mischief. Brought back such memories of my childhood infatuation with Superman.

    The Adventures of Superman

    The first subscriptions I ever had delivered to my door were the Superman family of comic books (including Superboy and Adventure which weren't mentioned in Howie's listing above). I was simply going to the dime store to buy them all every month, and my mom told me about this wonderful thing...

    The Adventures of Superman

    You can blame that on Kellogg's who began sponsoring the show for seasons 3-6. Their demands that the violence be toned down and the tone lightened to make it more acceptable for a kiddie audience resulted in a much more juvenile show. Didn't impact the ratings at all, but the earlier shows...

    The Adventures of Superman

    Reading everything about the event and watching films (documentaries plus Hollywoodland) has convinced me that Leonore Lemon killed him. Years later in a drunken moment, she even confessed that she did it because George was leaving her.
