In 1952 Superman flew right into the hearts and minds of the American TV audience faster than a speeding bullet. Though most people were already familiar with man of steel through his comic books, as well as the popular radio show, it was the new medium's Adventures of Superman that transformed our resident Kryptonian into a timeless icon. For many young baby boomers, Superman was the ultimate symbol of truth, justice and the American way. After watching this nostalgic trip back in time it is easy to see why: George Reeves. Reeves is the quintessential Superman. He is kind, confident, smart, always does the right thing and can literally do anything physically. Even Reeves' Clark Kent is cool, even cocky without any of the trademarked shy, clumsy and hickish traits the character has developed over the years. And then there's Phyllis Coates as the Lois Lane. Coates portrayal of Lois is surprisingly one of the stronger female roles in '50s television. She is one tough cookie able to stand her ground against criminals, fight off bad guys and is not afraid to outwardly express herself. Sadly, Phyllis Coates would be replaced by Noel Neill in subsequent seasons.
Adventures of Superman also stands the test of time well as one of the best shows from the early days of television. A lot of it has to do with how the writers, producers and actors approached the making of the show. This first season, as well as the second, were made as if they were making a serious show suitable for kids and adults. Instead of being a kids' comic book show, the episodes have a strong "mini-serial-crime-movie" feel, are very story driven and include loads of elements from the popular film noir style of the 1950s. This is evident in such classic episodes such as the season opener "Superman on Earth," "The Stolen Costume" where Superman has his costume stolen by a burglar, and the tense horror-noir "The Haunted Lighthouse." Also included on this DVD set is the 1951 theatrical release Superman and The Mole Men which later became the televised two-part episode "The Unknown People." --Rob Bracco

Loved these shows when I was growing up in the 60's and now I am sharing them with my 5 year old. Warning though, superman fights gagsters not super villains and people do get shot. I think it's better explaining that guns are dangerous and people can die from them instead of today where a thousand shots are fired and no one gets hurt. After all, good always triumphs in the end. CLASSIC STUFF!

Since the movie of Superman and the Mole Men is packaged with this, I'll be doing a double review.
First the movie: For only being an hour and on a very low budget, this is a very entertaining film. It's more enjoyable than the Pryor Superman III, the overly long Superman Returns and, sad to say for me as I am a proud defender, Superman IV. George Reeves is my favorite Superman/Clark Kent, not that Christopher Reeve didn't do a good job it's just that I hate that he portrays Clark as a ... Read More

We all now the saying It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! Thanks to Warner Studios we can repeat that saying over and over with this release of season one on DVD. This is the first and only "Superman" in my opinion and George Reeves will always be my favorite man of steel. I have nothing bad to say about the others who portrayed "Superman" I just liked George the best. While working as the mild-mannered reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet News , "Superman" disguised as Clark Kent keeps a ... Read More
