Revision as of 10:22, 19 February 2008
List of Adventures of Superman episodes. Much of the Superman "formula", in all forms of its media presentations, involves Superman rescuing someone, either one of his colleagues or another person or persons. In those cases, success is largely a matter of Superman simply "getting there on time" to save the day. Some of the strongest episodes in the series tend to be the ones where Superman himself is in peril, either due to exposure to the time-honored bugaboo of kryptonite, external forces, or from some other daunting challenge.
Countless episodes, of course, raise the threat of exposing Superman's secret identity. The only humans to know for sure, other than Clark's adoptive mother, are a few villains in some episodes, whose discovery leads them to their deaths before they can tell anyone else. Two animals, a dog named Corky and a burro named Carmelita, also know Kent and Superman are one and the same, but couldn't tell anyone, even if they wanted to tell. The only other entity to know, apparently, is a computer. In episode 39, "The Machine That Could Plot Crimes", an early "electronic brain" built by Uncle Oscar (Sterling Holloway) and called "Mr. Kelso" is co-opted by criminals to help them compute escape routes for bank robberies. The machine seemingly develops a sense of morality, as it sends the robbers the wrong way down a one-way street, and they are arrested. The scruples of this machine are fully tested when Uncle Oscar asks it, "Mr. Kelso, Who is Superman?" Oscar pulls out the paper tape containing the machine's answer, and reads it directly into the camera: "Mr. Kelso says, quote, Wouldn't you like to know?, unquote."
Season 1: 1952-1953
Episodes 1-26: Black and white. Considered by many fans as the best (and certainly the most serious) of the series, these noir-ish films resemble theatrical action-adventure serials and crime melodramas of the 1940s. The supporting casts are filled with established movie character actors, heightening the resemblance. Phyllis Coates, like George Reeves, was a popular lead in B features of the period. For the TV series, Reeves suggested that Coates receive equal star billing. Coates created a sharp, strong-willed Lois Lane, enterprising reporter who tries to outscoop Clark Kent. Jack Larson presents Jimmy Olsen as a Daily Planet intern always investigating the truth behind something wrong, but being caught by the villains. He usually receives help from Superman in the nick of time. Superman himself is seen as a semi-mysterious presence, unknown to many of the crooks ("Who's the guy in the circus suit?" asks a villain in "The Riddle of the Chinese Jade"). The shows are typically action-packed, gritty, and often violent storylines in which Superman fought gangsters and crime lords. There were a number of deaths both on- and off-screen.

Season 2: 1953-1954
Episodes 27-52: Black and white. The series had discontinued production until the producers found a national sponsor for the 1953 season. When it came time to reassemble the cast and crew for new episodes, Phyllis Coates was no longer available, having committed to another project. The producers then hired Noel Neill, who had played Lois Lane in the two Superman serials, and gave her secondary billing with Larson, Hamilton, and Shayne. Neill's portrayal was more accessible to the younger TV audience, sweeter and more sympathetic than the efficient, hard-as-nails Coates characterization. The second-season shows were generally serious in nature, with the violence tempered significantly, although there was still the occasional death of a villain, usually off-screen. Sentimental and/or humorous stories were more in evidence than in 1-26. A large portion of the stories, however, dealt with Superman's personal issues, such as his memory loss in "Panic in the Sky".

Season 3: 1955-1955
Episodes 53-91: Color. The series began to take on the lighthearted, whimsical tone of the Superman comic books of the 1950s. The villains were often caricatured, Runyonesque gangsters, played with tongue in cheek. Violence on the show was toned down further. The only gunfire that occurred was aimed at Superman, and of course the bullets bounced off. Superman was less likely to engage in fisticuffs with the villains. On occasions when Superman did use physical force, he would take crooks out in a single karate-style chop or, if he happened to have two criminals in hand, banging their heads together. More often than not, the villains were likely to knock themselves out fleeing Superman. Now very popular to viewers, Jimmy was now being played as the show's comic foil to Superman. A lot of the plots had him and Lois being captured, only to get rescued at the last minute by Superman.

Season 6: 1958-1958
Episodes 92-104: Color. Scripts for the last season did not hit the campy lows of the previous two years and reestablished a bit of the seriousness of the show, often with science fiction elements like a Kryptonite-powered robot (a left-over prop from "The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters"), atomic explosions, and impregnable metal cubes. In one of the last episodes, "The Perils of Superman" (a takeoff on The Perils of Pauline), there was indeed deadly peril straight out of the movie serials: Lois tied to a set of railroad tracks with a speeding train bearing down on her, Perry White nearly sawed in half while tied to a log, Jimmy in a runaway car headed for a cliff, and Clark Kent immersed in a vat of acid. This was one of three episodes directed by George Reeves himself, in an attempt to inject some new life into the series. Noel Neill's hair was dyed a bright red for this season, though the color change was not apparent in the initial black-and-white broadcasts. Although Reeves' s efforts did not save the series from cancellation, "Perils of Superman" is regarded as one of the best episodes.
