Summary:
Superman's "never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way" on television actually did come to an end in 1957 with the cancellation of the Adventures of Superman series, but not before it completed its sixth season, which is presented in this five-disc set along with its fifth season from 1956. Story-wise, the fifth and sixth seasons trend a fine line between the "serious" tone of the first three seasons (which saw Superman take on gangsters, corrupt scientists, and other villains with roots largely planted in reality) and the more outlandish escapades of the fourth season; examples of the latter include "The Tomb of Zaharan," in which Lois Lane (Noel Neill) is kidnapped by Middle Eastern dignitaries who believe her to be their reincarnated queen; "Mr. Zero," with Billy Curtis (High Plains Drifter) as an alien pressed into illegal service by crooks; and "The Brainy Burro," which features a mind-reading donkey(!) used by nefarious types to commit crimes (the latter is one of three episodes directed by series lead George Reeves). Fortunately, there are plenty of exciting adventures on hand as well, the best of which might be "The Perils of Superman" (also directed by Reeves), which harkens back to Superman's comic book and radio serial origins in its tale of a gang of lead-masked hooligans who subject the Man of Steel and his pals to a series of cliffhanger-style dangers. It's hard to say if modern young viewers will take to these vintage escapades--the special effects remain decidedly primitive, and some of the plotlines will challenge even the most imaginative kid's suspension of disbelief--but for Superman fans and classic TV aficionados, there's still plenty of fun to be found in the Adventures of Superman.

Supplements include a charming chat with co-star Jack Larson in the featurette "Superman's Pal: Jimmy Olson," in which the still spry actor is joined by Neill, special effects expert Bob Burns, and several Superman experts (including actor Jim Beaver of Deadwood fame). A barrage of trailers for previous Superman-related DVDs, including Superman Returns, rounds out the extras. -- Paul Gaita

Excellent	Customer Rating:
The Superman Movie was wonderful addition to my dad's colloection. He absolutely loved them. Thanks for helping me make my dad happy.

Nostalgia vs. memory	Customer Rating:
I loved The Adventures of Superman--when I was 10 or 12. It remains great fun, but the material is dated, and lacks an adult level of interest. The transfer is mediocre at best, meaning no one bothered to digitally enhance the print. So now I have the entire collection, and anyone born in or after 1947 will enjoy this as a nostalgic snapshot, but no more than that! js

Superman-My Original Super hero

Customer Rating:

This is one series I grew up with, and am so very happy that it is finally out on DVD. I have seasons 1-6 and as of Christmas Morning so will my brother and my newphew. Eventhought Christopher Reeves did a very good job of taking the man of steel to the big screen...Those of us who were born in the 50's George Reeves was and probably will always be Superman. From the Frosted Flakes commercial to the B&W images we saw as yellow, blue and red. He will always rank as Number 1.

Excelente!	Customer Rating:
Un viaje a los 50 con toda la serie transmitida por Venevisión en los 70 aquí en Venezuela. Claramente, recomendado para los amantes de las series en blanco y negro. Ideal para los que recuerdan al actor Reeves y la sprimeras caracterizaciones del personaje. Ampliamente recomendado.
