It's Superman!"), THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN was the first attempt to bring the comic book character to television screens. This first season originally aired in 1952, and established great cinematic characters such as Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and of course Clark Kent himself. By day Kent attempts to live an anonymous existence as a reporter for the Daily Planet, but when trouble comes calling, he transforms into Superman, the last survivor from the planet Krypton. <br> <br> George Reeves convincingly played Superman throughout the first season of the show, and he returned to play the Man of Steel in all of the subsequent Seasons.

| Professional Reviews | (10/25/2005, p.E4, Dave Kehr): "Reeves's Superman...is a complex, conflicted figure, at least as conflicted about his superstatus as any of the explicitly neurotic Marvel superheroes who came along in the 1960's..." |

Love the tough detective/reporter stories of season 1!
Pros: Resembles detective/reporter crime movies from the 1930s/40s. Cons: Lead actor is a tad overweight and wears a silly pajama-looking costume in the beginning. Bottom Line: The Adventures Of Superman Season One DVD Set ...It's Good NOT Great !!!
Pros: Overall, a nice set with the original 26 episodes, unedited. Nice extras included also. Cons: Picture quality of the original episodes is only fair to good. Bottom Line: |
