- A Super Serial
For a serial, and they're all dopey, this is pretty good. I was raised on the serials and this brought back memories. Kirk Alyn did a great job of portraying Superman & Clark Kent. The story line wasn't too bad either, considering that it was meant for kids. Only real disappointment was the flying sequences, which were cartoon drawings. I hated that as a kid, too. But over all, I was entertained. And it was nice to see Noel Neil as Lois Lane prior to her television portrayal with George Reeves. I wonder if Gene Roddenberry got his Star Trek tranporter idea from The Atom Man.

- This is a....
wonderfully, entertaining set of DVDs, if you're into this type of thing.
So far (and we are 3/4 of the way thru them), all the DVDs are in perfect condition and we are utterly delighted with the serials--wish there were more of these to be had..

have not had the time to see them all but it does bring back memmories, just a small hitch, in that in one epesode the picture tended to break up
this I also fond on some of the superman Adventures with George Revves
other wise it was mostly good

- Is this the real Superman?
This was very enjoyable; something that was really never available before--especially if you are too young to have seen it in the late 40's. Better in many ways than the TV show of the 50's...More loyal to the comic books, takes itself a little more "seriously" than the show. The only possible distractions were that Superman became animated when flying, which seemed silly; and the format of having to rescue Lois and Jimmy every ten minutes is a bit much. Overall, however, highly recommended if this is your cup-of-tea and you are nostalgic.
