WTF Happened to Superboy? (1988 - 1992)

Hey guys! This episode of GBNF was made from suggestions from fans who emailed us demanding this show be covered on this series. If you want to make suggestions for future episodes of GBNF then e-mail [e-mail] and maybe we’ll cover your show!

To me Gerard Christopher had that Superman magic that Reeve had. He’s massively overlooked.

[@sageantone7291]

Amen to this!

[@mrmotown313]

That is absolutely true. I’d settle for Gerard Christopher as SuperBoy than John Newton as SuperBoy. In my honest opinion, John Newton‘s SuperBoy is more resemblant to the one in the comic box.

[@RedPetrol76]

IMO Gerard Christopher was also more handsome than John Newton or Reeve

[@94champs]

@@RedPetrol76 Gerard was actually the least handsome in my opinion. But he did a decent job. Newton and Reeve had more of a classic Superman square jawline. Gerard's jawline was more angular. Reeve cannot be topped by anyone though as Superman. Literally perfect for the role.

I LOVED this show as a kid! It came on Saturday afternoons (if I was lucky to find it). I was pretty young when this show came on, but I loved anything and everything Superman/DC comics. The Superboy version of Bizarro is who I think of when people mention that character. Stacy Haiduk was one of my first crushes, too! This show was so great! I didn't even notice the actor changes back then, either!

Except, Ruby left willingly. John was fired for wanting fair pay, and the Producers and network used a DUI arrest, that amounted to nothing, as an excuse. Also the ratings for Season 1 were good. If not there would not have been a season 2.

Hi, great video on this awesome little series! The late 80s-early 90s had such wonderful syndicated shows, this was definitely one of them. Season 1 had its moments, but the show reached a peak by 3 and 4, and would've had a season 5 if not for Lois and Clark and the WB. :(

Christopher Reeve was also an unknown and his career hardly took off outside of Superman. It's a pretty low blow, considering Cain did an excellent job within the parameters of the series.

wow .. I forgot SO many things in this show, and you just summed them up nicely. All the good actors I actually do remember. All the bad. Never heard of them :p

[@MRLASTSONOFKRYPTON]

Great review on Superboy. I always followed the show from day 1 as a child and i watch all 4 seasons at least once a year during my Superman marathons. You forgot to mention how great and up to this day the flying is, the take offs and landings are unmatched even in today's cgi age. Lois and Clark had less than 10 of those shots their entire 4 seasons and opted to do cape out effect( no effect at all). Only thing i disagree with you is that although i love Gerard Christopher's interpretation i actually prefer John Haymes Newton. He looked like a younger Chris Reeve and I liked his Clark as a normal cool guy as compared to Christopher's OVER THE TOP bumbling fool more so than Chris Reeve although this was toned down for seasons 3 and 4. You can understand why Lana ( the incredibly gorgeous Stacy Haiduk) would be in love with both Clark and Superboy. Clark was an interesting cool guy and not a complete unrelatable goof. Newton's Superboy was more imposing while Gerard was more humble to the point that he was almost a pushover in some episodes. Newtons Superboy was not hesitant to let his temper really flow which eventually with experience would grow to be the Chris Reeve's version of both Superboy and Clark down the road Newton said in an interview. Gerard Christopher was a Chris Reeve exagerated version and i only wished he would have had some development rather than just be a good guy altogether from the start.But for a half hour show who really cares right. As for the acting they both grew into their roles respectively. In Season 2 episode2 Gerards acting was so bad when he is on the wheelchair and is watching Lana and Lex on the television that it is hard to watch. Ofcourse he eventually became his own Superboy and seasons 3 and 4 showed how well he made the role his own. Also i actually very much liked season 1 because it had a more gritty surreal ambiance albeit in most episodes the limited budget really showes. "Bringing down the House" with the psycho rockstar who almost murders Lana in the torture chamber still gives me chills and felt like real world with real everyday villians although it was not very comic book like which i understand, just preference i beleive. Later Episodes like Hollywood and Succubus really got more interesting and Newtons acting really had improved by that time.

[@JamesCH08]

Wow I had forgotten all about this series, I was age 8-12 when this series was running. I remember it was sort of cheesy and campy but still entertaining. I remember it being syndicated, it played on the weekends here in the Philly area. I remember this being just part of the great weekend programming of the 80's & early 90's. I would watch my Saturday cartoons, then either WWF, American Gladiators, or a Karate flick that would air. Then it was shows like this Superboy show, The Great American Hero, The A-Team, Knight Rider, Tales From The Darkside, Soul Train, or Showtime At The Apollo that I'd watch. Lol, IDK the television programmers seemed to know how to really schedule the right shows at the right time back then. I've got allot of found memories of these shows from back then.

When this show was still showing and it got the 2nd Season change it was the best and we got villains from the actual comics. During the 1991 we had a good amount of Super Hero Action Shows. Super Force, Dracula, Superboy and The Flash. The Crisis should have had John Haymes-Newton and Gerard Christopher. It was a perfect homage to a time a series was keeping comics alive when we had little to no Super Hero series.

[@Drawkcabi]

...and after Superboy was cancelled, Stacy Haiduk showed up the next year as a cast member (for the first season at least) on Seaquest DSV (also a good candidate for a GBNF show). Seaquest struggled on NBC for 3 seasons, its ratings were decent at first but not considering the very high production costs of the show, also it was consistently beaten in the ratings by the show it was up against for the first two years...Lois and Clark

My favorite two-parter was the one where he encounters a version of himself in an alternate universe where his spaceship crashed in a jungle - so he was basically raised like Tarzan of the Apes only without any apes, or rather Mowgli since he was still a child at that point - and (after shenanigans involving Lex Luthor) finds an older version of himself (essentially George Reeves' version had Reeves survived into the 1990s to play him) to raise him in his world.

[@94champs]

The decision to cast Dean Cain turned out just fine as the show was a hit and ran for years. What Cain did or didn't do afterwards is irrelevant to the Superman show he starred in. Compared to John Newton and Gerard Christopher, Dean Cain is Marlon Brando. He was great in the role and is doing just fine. You probably just ripped on him because he's not part of the looney left cult. Well, get over it. People know who he is. You...not so much.

[@capebluecapeblue1825]

I've watched both this series and Lois and Clark as an adult. My adult mind prefer Lois and Clark more because I always love the story about Clark in Metropolis vs Smallvile.

Hey just watched your video on Superboy and I perhaps found the reason the lead actor wasn't in Crisis on infinite earths. Warner bros TV put out a call to every living DC actors (not involved in films of course) to see if they would appear in the crossover, but three things kept many from appearing : 1)they had no idea what they would do if they appeared. 2)they had no script. 3) the tight schedule and filming location for the crossover. This coupled with the fact Warner movie was being a dick to their TV counterpart , Guggenheim and Berlanti wanted many former DC actors to be in the crossover and went to Warner movie to ask for a raise to include as much actors as they can; Their response was something along the lines of "we will take away Superman and Batman from you if you try to do this" so they worked with the limitations imposed by them and did the best. What did you think of Crisis on infinite earths? I personally loved it and thought it was very good, don't get me wrong it has it's flaws particularly with pacing and trying go juggling too many charecters; but ultimately this was really good and incredibly ambitious for them yet they did it. Also I read the problems they faced and now have more respect as they problems they faced were numerous, yet they still managed to pull that of. Also great video.

That theory sounds nice but Superboylegacy.com spoke to Gerard Christopher and he was never contacted,

As a Lois & Clark/ Smallville also Birds of Prey fan + so much more, never watched Superboy. Big fan of both L&C & S's Lex Luthor so a slightly Joker acting one is interesting. Arrow & other CW have done so many camo's some will still be missing (Batwoman's sister is a former Black Canary). Smallville's didn't realise they cast Lana as Clarks Mom so even they hadn't watched everything. I would defend Birds of Prey as it had a solid idea, but too late to catch all the fan's of Batman Returns. It had a great Harley & was sort of finding it's feet/cowl. I will give Superboy a try.
