- It does get better...right?
Although I consider myself a big Superman fan, I somehow missed this show when it premiered in syndication in 1988. As many have already pointed out, the series has not been shown in the U.S. since its initial run, meaning a whole generation of fans probably missed it.

So I'm delighted to have it...but...this first season just isn't very good. The writing and acting are uniformly mediocre, with only a handful of decent shows spread throughout the season. Yes, the flying effects are usually on par with the Christopher Reeve films, but the rest of the effects are embarassingly low-budget, largely comprised of obvious animation added to the live action.

Like I said, I'm a fan. And despite its MANY flaws, I support this release in the hopes of getting the later seasons.

I can't wait for the DVD to hit the stores! It will be just like a new show for me, since I only saw it once on it's original run. Whether you have seen this show or not, if you are a Superman fan, this is a must own. If you like Smallville, this will give you a totally different view of young Superman. And, it's the only young Superman show with a costume. Get Season 1 and enjoy, knowing that it only gets better Season 2,3 and 4.

- From the days when Superheroes were also people!
Love this series. Long before the deluge of computer effects Superboy used CHARACTERS and STORY to entertain.

Can't wait to see it on DVD!

- SUPERBOY RULES!!!!!!!!!
Superboy out on DVD. Finally! Now I can go on with the rest of my life. I loved watching Superboy back in the eighties. I hated the idea that I would never get to see the few episodes I missed in the beginning just because I caught on too late and started watching three episodes in. I'm so stoked!
