My son gave me a copy of Season One of "The Adventures of Superman" for Christmas, and I must say it was the best present I've received in a long while. We had such a good time watching favorite episodes. I am a child of the 50's and grew up with Superman while it was still fairly new. My son experienced it on Nick at Nite re-runs, a special time for us both.

Now I have purchased the Season Two set, and the episodes here may be in many ways better than those in the first. A particular favorite is "Panic in the Sky," where our hero has to deflect a meteor as it hurtles towards Earth. Special flying sequences were filmed for this episode that were not used in any other.

A special treat is "Stamp Day for Superman," a special episode that I never saw as a child. While it is a quickie "freebie" made to support the U.S. Treasury Dept., this episode stands up pretty well with the "regular" episodes.

The featurette "First Lady of Metropolis" is a wonderful tribute to Noel Neill, who took over the role of Lois when Phyllis Coates was unable to continue. It is so nice to see Ms. Neill still looking lovely. She still has the "sparkle" in her eyes that made her Lois so enjoyable to watch.

Another favorite episode is "Around the World with Superman." Anyone who is not moved by this story of a blind girl's attempt to re-unite her troubled family just doesn't have a heart.

Thanks to Warners and to my son for helping me capture a sense of my own youth.

Gorege Reeves was the first person to bring Superman to life and did a excellent job at it. I love these serirs and i love the guy who plays Perry White and jack Larsen is so funny. I good part as Jimmy Olsen. My Favorite Episode in the this season is The Unknown People Parts 1 & 2. This is a pretty good tv show.

I was a child in the fifties and watched superman faithfully. I really enjoyed watching it once again. I think it was more of a nostalgic warm fuzzy than anything else. (It's hard to be objective) I may buy more but if you didn't watch superman growing up, I'm not so sure you would like them as much.

THESE ARE THE REAL ADVENTURES OF THE REAL SUPERMAN. GEORGE REEVES IS SUPERMAN,NOT CHRISTOPHER REEVE. NO BIG BUDGET PRODUCTION WILL EVER OUTSHINE THE GENUINE ARTICLE. LONG LIVE THE MEMORY OF GEORGE REEVES!
