Adventures of Superman - Return to 1950's TV
The Adventures of Superman had to be one of the most popular television shows of the 1950's. As a young boy I certainly remember being glued to the old B&W TV every week for the next episode. This DVD collection of 5 discs has all 26 episodes of the first season, with additional features including the theatrical release of Superman and the Mole Men (minus Jimmy Olson!), and original Kellogg's cereal commercials. This is a fun series to watch, not just for nostalgia, but also with a more observing eye! Why is it that no matter what town or city Clark Kent is in, he always runs into the same alley to change into his Superman costume? Likewise, whether he's in Perry White's office, Lois Lane's office, or his own office, he always runs into the same closet to change? It's fun to observe other "errors" - in episode 10 he's wearing a pinkie ring while in bed, it later disappears. Of course, during the flying sequences he's obviously being supported on a flat board under his costume. And was that the only suit he owned??? I guess the one disappointment of the series is that Superman was generally battling petty gangsters. What ever happened to such comic book villains as Lex Luthor and Mr. Mxyzptlk? The first season was filmed in 1951, but not released until 1952 once a sponsor was found. This season co-starred Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane, later replaced by Noel Neill. Lois is probably the first "independent" woman in a TV series - if you think of all the other TV series at the time women were almost always stay-at-home wives. And, of course, while she had her suspicions that Clark and Superman were on in the same, she never quite pieced it together. Adventures of Superman is currently being shown on MeTV, but this DVD set offers the opportunity to see the episodes in order, without commercials. Great for binge-watching! There are three more DVD sets in the series, can't wait to get them also!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Expensive, and perhaps, worth it, depending on how much you enjoy nostalgia
They packaged it well, and I've enjoyed watching the first season, but I wish I had bought this when it was less expensive. I've always wanted to have this in my library, and I waited too long.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Superman is Super !
You have to be a child that was growing up in the 50's and early 60's to appreciate The Adventures of Superman ! Brings back a lot of childhood memories ! Really , watching it again now , in the order it was released , is pretty neat for me ! I was born in 1951 , the first year it was on TV ! By the time I was 7 years old , I was watching the reruns of the first season ! Kind of corny stuff , but entertaining also !Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

This dvd set (seasons 1&2) takes you back to your childhood, if you were born in the 50's. A great way to enjoy a rainy day!
I was surprised to see some black & white episodes, I never saw before, and I thought I had seen all. I will find some time soon to see any others, I may not have seen. This is a perfect set to compliment "Hollywoodland" ! "cynmgild" was prompt with the shipment and packaged the set very well ! Thank-You!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

LOOK!! Up in the sky - I never tire of it
Surely George Reeves was positively perfect (and gorgeous) in the role of Superman/Clark Kent. The episodes were short, to the point, packed with action and great storylines. Never a dull moment in good old Metropolis (and afar off too), that's for sure Sadly, George Reeves paid the price for his fame, in that he could not further his acting career afterwards. How could they have Superman play a mere mortal!! ..... Rest his soul. Still, here we are 60 plus years later still able to enjoy what he gave us - his best. So, "Thank you George Reeves"Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great addition to my collection. "Very nostalgic"
What a great way to reminisce about the early days of my childhood when I use to watch George Reeves as Superman. I am very into nostalgic T.V. series and this is a treasure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Superman series
One of the outstanding television shows of all time, lasted 6 seasons, too bad it didn’t continue, there was talk of Reeves continuing, but wasn’t meant to be. Season one in black and white, more gangster oriented, darker mood.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
