@Norin Ali C'mon man I DID enjoy the show. I have always thought of Superman as a citizen of the world. I also enjoy the work of John Byrne but his continuity of Supes being born from a birthing matrix on american soil instead of being an "immigrant alien baby [who also entered the US illegally]" found by the Kents (just for the sake of being a "100% american born-citizen") has always been whimsical and stupid. Also, the massive backlash caused by Superman renouncing his U.S citizenship in 2011 shows how americans perceive their overwhelming power over the rest of the world and their unwillingness to share it. I can also see, from your previous post, that you are a Trump supporter. That, I can respect, because you haven't disrespected me. But Trump abhorrs immigants. And in my mind, Superman will always be an immigrant. Trump's "american way" is not what Mr. Siegel and Mr. Shuster envisioned when they created Superman, and I was being sarcastic about it. In any case, I apologize if my previous comment offended you. Have a good day sir.

No, I understand where you're coming from. To me, there are MAYBE 3 live-action Superman actors that were iconic. I probably rank Christopher Reeve towards the top personally just for the 1978 film. After Superman II, it goes downhill (III and IV are NOT good films; Man of Steel, B V S, and Supes Returns are best forgotten if you don't want to go insane or cry in bed!) although I would urge people to give the "Donner Cut" edition of Superman II a look. It really is dramatically different from the theatrical version and closer to what the intent was for the first two films which were compromised by situations out of the director's control -- ie, tight release schedules, overly ambitious production plans/shoot schedules of the producers, and a creative/personal clash between the exec producers and Director Richard Donner (who was credited for the first film and shot well after half of Superman II before he was fired; a good chunk of his footage made it into the theatrical cut of Superman II).. After him -- Oh, I can definitely see what drew people to George Reeves. There's definitely a charisma and earnestness there that I find lacking in most modern superhero films. Again, I still give the personal nod (Superman-wise) to Christopher Reeve but having read the older Superman comics AND having seen the Fleischer shorts as well as listening to hours of The Adv of Superman radio series, I can see why kids of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s considered George Reeves "Superman" the first actor to BE Superman. Neither George Reeves or Christopher Reeve were perfect people. They were accused of some personal misconduct and had problems in their personal lives but they ultimately understood what Superman stood for and behaved in character. While they were in costume, they were Superman for the generations of kids while they lived AND did the character's legacy credit. They're still held up as the standard by which all other actors who approach that role are judged. So far, everybody after them HAS been found wanting to an extent. I think I'll be practically dead before/IF they ever find someone worthy of taking over the Superman role and doing it justice. The Superman that Reeves and Reeve portray is a very decent being without the general selfishness and self-centeredness you see in the "deconstructed" superhero archetype which I think misses the morality/fantasy point of these characters. it doesn't feel right when they try to force Superman into a mold like Batman or Spider-Man... It's simply not what the character was intended for, it's not how he's best played. Ironically, the closest analogue to Superman in Marvel is Captain America -- he's just a very decent man trying to do the right thing and follow his ethos, to not be swayed by politics and the materialism (re: greed) of the world. I feel sorry for people who think that's cornball and not a desirable personality for a heroic character. I'd also have to say that I liked Kirk Allyn (the actor from the Superman serials) as well but I'd have to watch the first Superman serial (and the sequel which I NEVER caught!) again. I do have the recollection that I liked the first Superman serial in some ways BETTER than The Adventures of Capt Marvel serial which is generally considered THE BEST superhero serial of the Golden Age of Comics. Nobody disputes that the 1940s Batman serials SUCKED, though! LOL

Dam @1:16 was pretty cool lol. You kno the actor Chow Yun Fat kinda has his same super smile. The look on this guy was one of supreme confidence lol. He's relaxed as Dean Cain, Optimistic as Christopher Reeve, and sturdy as John Wayne.

One of my favourite lines was when Jimmy goes into Clark Kent's office and says "Mr. Kent I'm sorry, I drove your car off of a cliff!" Kent's response? "WHAT??!! Why you chowder head!!" LMAO, I died with laughter!!

I'm 67 now. First, DAMN...Clark Kent seems to have only had two suits. that beautiful grey number and then the red and blue with the cape. Clark Kent ROCKED that suit! Dapper to too weak a word for that look. The hat at a perfect angle, those horn rim glasses and the styled hair. Total GQ! This guy ROCKED. Second, to this day, I hear the "Superman March" and I'm a kid again. I get to watch him on Sundays on the HEROS and ICONS broadcast station. George was a big part of my world. As I got older and understood the tragedy of his death, it broke my heart. I've watch films of him explaining to children that he was a character and couldn't really fly or stop bullets but it didn't matte to them. He was Superman! He was a genuinely a good guy and seemed to love his child fans and cared about the image he portrayed. So sad we lost him before he could discover what he REALLY created with his character. He acted it as well as he could. The writing of the scripts was dodgy at best, but he ALWAYS delivered it with all his heart and soul.That music was part of the wholehearted charm of the series. The opening and closing theme. His flying music. All the incidental music when the bad guys would appear. They STILL affect me! Such a good show. Again, some of the writing was sub-par for George's ability but as I said, he gave it everything he had to sell it and it worked! I miss Superman.

Thanks for the memory, circa 1960, Miami Florida, WTVJ channel 4. Monday evenings was the only day of the week we could stay up late on a school night to watch the Amazing Adventures of Superman. George Reeves was without doubt the best Superman. Voorhees

Reeves’ color flying scene looked so much better than the black and white ones. In the B&W shows, he looked too big because of the padding and the harness he had to work with. It was really improved for the color episodes.

I'm 47 and got to see these as re-runs as a kid. I loved them next to watching the Superfriends on Saturday morning cartoons( Where did that go?! ). My first real introduction to the character, unfortunately was Superman 1978 starring Christopher Reeve. I still enjoyed watching Steve Reeves save the day. The original Lois and Jimmy had cameos in the 1978 film as Lois Lane's parents during the train race scene. Fantastic!

I was looking for the building featured as the Daily Planet. It could be city hall. I drove in LA once and passed by it, but should have stopped. On George Reeves as Superman. He played it just right, not corny. Played it straight with humor. Contrast that with what Roger Moore did with James Bond ... he just got too cute in the later films (with some nice exceptions, of course). Reeves was also a good actor, critical to play Superman. The supporting cast was great also -- Perry White et al. The various Lois Lanes were also sexy. Jimmy Olsen also had the benefit of a good actor with a well-rounded character, considering the era. The Superman theme is the greatest. Better than the Christopher Reeve version -- although that version has some shades of the original. One of the best touches is Superman's 'whooshing' sound when he flies. A real pity the film versions didn't incorporate that. Final verdict: a classic, as long as there is TV.

"The establishing shot of The Daily Planet building in the first season was the E. Clem Wilson Building in Los Angeles, California, on Wilshire Boulevard, for decades famous as the headquarters of Mutual of Omaha, its brilliant white globe atop a tall pillar a familiar landmark to local residents. From the second season onward, stock shots of the 32-story Los Angeles City Hall were used as the Planet building." --Wikipedia entry from "The Adventures of Superman" (Locations section)
