Superboy (1988–1992)
10/10
Gerard Christopher is the Second Best Superman EVER!!!
17 April 2016
This series came at a time where comic fans were born not made. In 2016 comic fans are made because it is considered cool to be in comics. With that comes fans who like anything. In today's Superhero world it is very formulaic. It is made for teen and young adults and is full of teenage angst. Love triangles and an emphasis on PC feminist culture.

Superboy was made for a younger audience and yet it is great for adults and made for family. Superboy, especially after season 1, is fantastic. Fun good nature yet subtly dark. Many episodes have death and gunshots yet works well. Gerard Christopher is probably the second best Superman ever behind Christopher Reeves and this show might be the second best adaption behind Superman 2 in terms of TV/Movie entertainment value.

This is about Superboy without the teenage angst. Yes he loves Lana but it is never forced. Gerard Christopher plays Superboy like a young Chris Reeves; he is very goody as Clark Kent in a good way. This was heroes before the modern bad boy heroes started. It is good natured, well acted, fun, and very entertaining.

Superboy is a 10 out of 10 after season 1. The actor who played Supes is not as good as Gerard Christopher. This is a must see and you should start with season 2 if you are trying to get into this show. Seasons 2-4 were way better than season 1 due to Christopher. Excellent show and the second best Superman actor ever.
