Adventures of Superman - The Complete First Season (1952)

Must have for Superman fans

Being a Superman fan makes it essential that you go to the roots of television's first presentation. We watched this first season and enjoyed every corny minute of it. If you were a child in the 50s and early 60s you will be instantly transported back to wonderful memories.

These are good quality products but remember the technology and budget for these TV show was very low... enjoy!Adventures of Superman - The Complete First Season August 31, 2008

Woww~!

"Great Caesar's Ghost!" Superman has lept to DVD, courtesy of the fine folks at Warner Brothers.

What a package this is too. While the Columbia House collectors editions contained selected episodes, this one gives you not only the first season (26 episodes), but also the full length feature films, "Superman and the Mole Men". The classic George Reeves photograph adorns the cover, and the eye catching interior design makes this a superior collectible.

The special features include a documentary, "Adventures of Superman, From Inkwell to Backlot", a rare vintage short, "Pony Express Days", and commentaries by Superman experts Gary Grossman ("From Serial to Serial") and Chuck Harter.

As a fan of the original series, this is what the good (bad?) Doctor ordered. George Reeves was born to play Superman, and his portrayal of the mild mannered Clark Kent set the benchmark high for Dean Cain, and soon, Brandon Roth. My favorite episodes? It's gotta be "Ghost Wolf" and "Treasure of the Incas"

"Look up in the sky...It's a bird...It's a plane...No, it's Superman!" Coming soon to a DVD player near you.

Why Did I Wait So Long ???

I saw the customer reviews for months and months, but for some reason could not order this dvd set. When I finally did, I was so glad. It brought back so many happy memories. The picture was cleaned up so well with very few dust particles I remember from watching them on TV for years. I don't miss the commercials either. Watching these episodes gives me so much pleasure, even the bad scenery doesn't bother me. I know I'll have to order more seasons, but the first & second seasons got the best reviews, before the violence was lessened to make it a more "kid friendly" show (per other reviews). Wow, 26 shows for such a low price (I got these first two seasons of 26 episodes each somewhere else for $19.00 each). 5 Stars...most of the 52 shows are classics. I hadn't seen many for over 20 years and really enjoyed them again! February 22, 2008

Disappointed

I remember watching Superman as a kid and feeling much more impressed. Not now. Got it for my 6 y. old for Christmas - big let down. Too much weak writing and dialogue - not enough Superhero rescues. Spend the dough on Batman instead. January 12, 2008
