- Superboy
Starting off slow, Superboy the first season eventually became one worth buying. It is true that the series gets better, which is a good thing compared to the early episodes of the first season. One of the episodes is about a garbage man with delusions, which is ok, but nothing worth buying. Luckily, it gets better and has storylines about aliens and other interesting things. Overall, this season is really worth buying, because the stories are fun. I just hope that they continue to release the DVDs eventually, with all of the legal problems, I have my fingers crossed

- Superboy: a classic for a Superman fan!
If you are a Superman fan you probably know what this is about: although Superman spent most of his youth as Clark Kent WITHOUT the outfit at some point DC Comics back in the golden age decided to explore more characters and Superboy finally came up. A cheesy character if you ask me but in the end when the Salkinds decided to take the chance by developing the character for TV we got a chance to get more of Clark Kent to enjoy WITH the custome. I have had the chance to watch the Gerard Christopher series and they are far better. Thou, with Newton we enjoy (with the cheesyness included) some adventures most of the time against crime bosses and Luthor plots worthy of laughing with his not so male roommate. Anyhow, I purchased it and I do not regret it since I am a huge Superman fan. In my opinion this is the wickest season, the other 3, not yet released are beggin to be released so we can enjoy the continuity and the improvement of plots and action sequences, plus the nostalgia for Superboy comics as well!

- Superboy's first outing
This series is nearly 20 years old. The clothes and the hairstyles show that. However, having said that, the special effects are quite good and the characters are well chosen, dispite the occassional wooden performance.
This is a fun series and well worth the price of admission. Even if you aren't a Superman/Superboy fan, this is still worth watching.

- when's the next season?
This is a great series! I loved it when it first came out back in 88. I'm glad the first season came out, but, when is the next season coming out? come 'on W.B.! what's the hold-up? Its been over a year since the release of the first season(granted it was released with a bunch of other superman related material as a promo for 'Superman Returns') But isn't it time for the next season? Believe me, the other three seasons were better! They will sell! Are you reading this W.B.!!!!!!!

- Good start to a great series, bad dvd mistake by WB.
First this a great series and the first season isnt the best of the series but it is still a great season. The dvds are great quality and have some good bonus features but WB made one huge mistake which keeps me from giving this more than a three star rating. Please note that the quality of the season IMO is 4.5/5 but the mistake they made deducts a few points. There is an episode called "Countdown to Nowhere" and the version they released on dvd makes the episode make no logical sense. The orriginal broadcast episode started with Lana/TJ and Clark remembering how they first met Superboy and they are in the Shuster Harold waiting for Superboy for an interview then they flashback. It ends with them talking to Superboy at the Harold. WB cut all that to add some crappy alternate scenes. It completly ruins the ep as it makes absolutly no sense. Other than that, it's a great set.
