Adventures of Superman (1952–1958)
3/10
So phony and yet entertaining
20 June 2020
As a kid watching this show back in the fifties, I would bug my dad so many times when things made no sense at all. It must have drove him nuts to hear me complain every so often. I did like the show and watched it every time I could and there wasn't much on TV back in the fifties.

Today, I still laugh when Clark Kent always says, "Now wait just a minute" Do the writers always have to make him say that silly line in almost every episode ?

The special effects were terrible even back in those days and if a kid could spot them it must have been really obvious.

Adventures of Superman, had been like a drug for me. I couldn't stop watching and I knew they are corny shows. I did like Phyllis Coates better than Noel Neill and she was just hotter and a better, believable reporter.

The early, first black and white episodes were the best by far. You can see more effort was put into writing and acting and story lines. When they switched over to color things started to change and the whole program became a farce.
