Complete First Season (5 DVDs)
Directed by
George Blair, Philip Ford, Thomas Carr etc.
USA 19
The legendary Man of Steel assumes the secret identity of Clark Kent, (in low voice) mild-mannered reporter for a great Metropolitan newspaper (The Daily Planet). And with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, he battles for truth and justice as Superman.
This is TV in its infancy but even with all the simplicity that we associate with lesser production features, this still carries its boyhood charm well. Like much television seen in our youth this may not hold to your expectations, but Season One outshines the other years most assuredly. We bond with the one-dimensional characters over multiple episodes with the good natured Jimmy Olson, cantankerous editor Perry White, career-oriented Lois Lane and sharp but prudent Clark. It is funny how addictive these shows are and how quickly a whole disc of them seems to fly by during viewing. Of course only a child could forgive the obliviousness of everyone in regards to Superman and Kent's likeness... aaahhhhh TV of the 50's - pure, gentle and lovable. If this show meant anything to you in your younger days, the first season is a must-own.
TV Premiere: September 19th, 1952

Comments: |
Most
episodes look exceptional (see captures below) but a few are more
damaged - especially
"The Stolen Costume" on disc 3 which has seen
better days. I am still trying to determine if these are the full
episodes, not the parsed syndicated ones. If we can find that out we
will post here. Overall this is a great set, very worthy of the Man of
Steel. Decent audio, excellent optional subtitles and some relevant
extra features including "Superman and the Mole Men" as well as some
very detailed but sporadically placed commentaries. There's an
informative documentary, with comments from Superman experts and a very
old Jack Larson (who played Jimmy Olsen on the show).
I can't see how Warner could have made this much better.
NOTE: In Canada Disc 4 has been duplicated with the content of Disc 5 and is being replaced by Warner. We are writing
about your recent purchase of the DVD set "The Adventures of Superman:
The Complete First Season." It has recently come to our attention that
Disc 4 of this set has the same content as Disc 5. All new sets purchased have been replaced with the proper content.
