- George Reeves' Last Hurrah as The Man of Steel
The final seasons of the "Adventures of Superman" feature the classic TV series at its best and worst. Weighed down by childish scripting, some 1957 episodes (notably "Mr. Zero" and "Whatever Goes Up") are embarrassing to watch. However, the 1958 season displays a remarkable upswing with stronger storylines and production values - highlighted by "Divide and Conquer," "The Mysterious Cube" and "Superman's Wife." George Reeves directed three episodes with great flair, including the justly famous "Perils of Superman." Once again, the DVD set was transferred from the best existing 35mm prints, with the color-stock defects noticeably absent in the sixth season. Apart from a good mini-documentary on Jack Larson, there are no extras or commentary tracks.

- Superman dumbed down, but still fun!
Having been a kid when it first came on tv and after watching each episode putting on a towel around my neck and jumping off our front porch, it's been a lot of fun to see them again. The first season was the best, Phyllis Coates much more believable and strong, stories tougher and tauter. Contrary to Ben Afflect, George Reeves was not only talented, but so likeable, tough and smart in what could have become an even sappier role. One very well written episode about a boy who accidentally photographed Superman changing from Clark Kent, has inside joke lines and character referring back to Reeves as a Tarleton twin in Gone with The Wind. I also have on vinyl Superman radio episodes from old Pep Kellog's corn Flakes.

- Look up in the sky !!
You know what is was like growing up as a kid watching superman on tv. Couldn't wait each week for it to come on. And then when Superman was taking off the air. That really hurt me my favorite show is gone and I will never see it again. I wished we had VCR back then. But know that I found Superman on Amazon. They bought back my childhood day's. If your into Superman This is it. The complete fifth and sixth season is great.
