My pleasure! Love to u!

Great interview about the music for the show

Great stuff = but the first season they used wires to yank him to fly out of the frame his crashing to the floor in Ghost Wolf ended that and thats when they used the pan

What is great about the screen grabs in the scenes where Mr R's takes flight no shadows of any rigs can be seen - Mr Larson was right some of the effects and the way they were done still hold up and look better than the multi million dollar effects.

Wonderful post! George forever made the role his own - the first season was great TV mini dramas and people were stunned to see Superman! The second season toned down the mayhem and murder and set the tone for the series - think of the show through the times of the 50s the scripts were fun...

On this date: January 14, 1957: George Reeves appeared as Superman on I LOVE LUCY ("Lucy And Superman" #166) on the CBS Television Network.

Love what you are posting - imagine the shock of seeing in 1966 the show in color! And look at the stations that were running the series - National was making money like the mint!

He did do a couple of Hopalong Cassidy's or at least one - he did a Charlie Chan too his real big break was SO Proudly We Hail, Mark Sandrich sadly passed away Reeves told Jack Larson that had Sandrich lived Reeves would not have been doing Superman. Heartbreaking that Mr Reeves did not live...

Easily the two most famous shows of the 1950s pictured here Lucy created the sitcom and Adv Of Superman was raking in the moolah too

The original credits YES he was credited THANKS JIM NOLT!

Interesting people claim when Lucy episode did not credit Mr Reeves it crushed his spirit BUT Superman historian confirmed for the first run of that episode he was credited via a voiceover on the scroll of the credits so that story is not true!

Thank you for this my friend so much! Mr Reeves was the one and only Superman and heartbreaking he never got to see the love we all have for him - my heart aches for his mom when you see his Mom made this marker for him "My Beloved Son - Superman"

Mr F said Adv of Superman passed thru many hands and the elements might need work thought National Periodical owned them till WB got the property in the 70's But what he might mean is the show was run non-stop all over the country

Decades aired 84 episodes meaning the moolah is still coming in! The show was aired so long in so many markets I bet the negs are not it good condition == did the color episodes ever look pristine? Remember they were sealed away in the 1950's and not used until the 1960's.

This CLASSIC show has been a cash cow since day ONE and for 70 years. The DVD sets were the best release --- heck use the same masters and put them on Blu Ray face it they will bever ooom better and it would still be better than that MILL Creek Jeanie!

This is one series that needs blu ray! The prints look very good watching this show it still holds up I do not see cheapness I see very well made TV amazing they pulled it off look at Fathe Knows Best I think season 1 was costing 25,000 a show to produce that show too is great! How much per...

GREAT TV! Love the early episodes but eveen color ones are great -- for the era Superman and his exploits were great - sadly in todays world Superman has run out of ideas somehow the TV show made the character SUPER now he has to eat a nuclear weapon to seem Super!

DECADES showing the Adv Of Superman Sept 10-11 2022 Thats 83 episodes

This CLASSIC made tons of money for many indie stations during the 60's-80's and now METV spin-off stations too! WPIX in NY stinks today - they are trying to be CNN with 10 hours or more of news and the horrid Judge shows or Springer wannabees yet PIX has antenna TV with classics that Pix...

Happy Early Birthday John! Bob and his teams work will really impress --- stunning work on Abbott and Costello!

Hopefully someone from Warner's is reading this thread and with the DVD releases seeming to be out of print who knows --- might happen!

Would love you to propose a Blu Ray release of Adventures Of Superman you would do it right

Interesting region 2 season 1-4 $39.99 Walmart has season 1 15.99

Same thing happened on the classic Father Knows Best two of the "kids" took part in the special features one did not because they were not to be paid. I suggested to SHOUT to have them sitting on director's chairs on the old Columbia Ranch in front of the house from the show,

Yikes did not know that

Frustrating thing is they did put an effort into the releases with some nice bonus content. The series continues to air on H & I and I love when they do the Decades Binges so the studio is still raking in the moolah.

Wonder if the features they made from the series and that Fox distributed exists anywhere?

The black and white first season prices are really high! https://www.ebay.com/itm/133463748232?hash=item1f130f2e88:g:4aoAAOSwlude-W8t
