List of Adventures of Superman episodes

[1][2] Also beginning with season three, the series began to take on the lighthearted, whimsical tone of the Superman comic books of the 1950s.

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.

By then very popular to viewers, Jimmy Olsen was now being played as the show's comic foil to Superman.

Scripts for the last season did not always hit the campy lows of the previous two years and reestablished a bit of the seriousness of the show, often with science fiction elements such as a Kryptonite-powered robot (a left-over prop from "The Bowery Boys Meet the Monsters"), atomic explosions, and impregnable metal cubes.

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.

Despite Superman's efforts to calm things down, the mob has tracked the two creatures to the top of a dam, trying to kill them.

They obtain key evidence but a violent electrical storm has knocked out telephone service between Metropolis and the state capital.

Abdul Ben Bay and Alli Zing, rumored members of the mysterious group, arrive in Metropolis in an hour as a final stop on their world tour.

For the Daily Planet's anniversary edition, editor Perry White wants Lois Lane, Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen to get an exclusive interview, something the two men have previously refused from other newspapers and magazines.

Little do he and his reporters realizes that the pendant that is now around Lois' neck is about to put her in the middle of one of the strangest adventures of her career.
