Adventures of Superman - The Complete Second Season pretty much follows the formula laid out in the first season, building on what made the groundbreaking show so popular. For many fans, season two is the best of the series and it is easy to see why. Each episode has that strong "mini-serial-crime-movie" feel and was again scripted and shot to appeal to adults as well as younger audiences. This would all change once season three, the first color Superman season, rolled around and the producers would strictly tailor the show for children. The biggest difference viewers will notice in this season is the new Lois Lane. Fans had to say goodbye to the wonderfully tough Phyllis Coates, replaced by the perkier Noel Neill who would play the sassy and smart journalist for seasons to come. For many young girls growing up in the 1950s Noel Neill's Lois Lane, the first liberated woman presented to the TV audience in the children's market, was the ultimate role model. Highlights of season two include "Panic in the sky" (the episode many feel is the series best--where Superman saves Metropolis from an asteroid that also erases his memory), "Semi-Private Eye" (where Jimmy Olsen poses as a private eye to stalk the bad guys), and "The Defeat of Superman" (where Superman loses his powers thanks to a dose of Kryptonite). --Rob Bracco

I assume this is the official release of Superman. So why would there be missing scenes? Here's just one example: In "Around The World With Superman", There is a scene where Superman, still dressed as Clark, talks to the little blind girl. There is a missing scene where he puts a lamp close to her head and tells her to be very still, then uses his x-ray vision on her head. I have that episode in 16MM and the scene is still there. It makes me wonder how many other scenes are missing. And it's why ... Read More

The biggest change, from the first season, is the switch in actresses playing "Lois Lane." We went from Phyllis Coates to Noel Neill, the latter keeping the role the rest of the way. Both women were good, so it didn't affect the show.
Don't be worried if the first few episodes in Season Two are boring; the rest are just great. Some of these are so memorable I recalled them as soon as the first minute or two went by, such as The Man Of Steel flying a blind girl around the world and ... Read More

These episodes have been digitally re mastered professionally and they are flawless. The quality is superb and they are better than I have ever seen them as a child. The episodes are timeless and you must keep in mind that for that era, this was great stuff. It can't compare with the flying effects nowadays. George Reeves is the charming force that makes it as he really is "Superman"

I love this show. Even though it had been ended for decades, I watched it all the time when I was a kid. I am happy to watch this show with my three year old son. We both have a lot of fun watching it and I'm glad to have a show like this to be able to do that.

I grew up watching these shows. Own every season and now my children watch them too. Good classic tv without all the sex and violence. Perfect.
