Phylis Coates was a cutie. LOL

Phyllis' "Lois Lane" was less vulnerable than Noel's; more aggressive and definitely "Clark Kent's" equal, right down to the arguments they occasionally had. She wasn't above scuffling with the bad guys on occasion (and getting knocked out for it, as in "Night Of Terror"), and proved herself more versatile and sensible in opening a jar than "Perry White", as seen here [after he said, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!", she probably muttered behind his back, "Who says you aren't?"].

They sort of used this scene in Superman the movie when Lois opens the bottle and it goes all over Clark.

all you guys thinking Coates was so hot..I'll take Durance any day

I'd have to agree with many of the posters-Phyllis Coates played a tougher, more determined character than Noel Neill. She was great in those early, darker episodes. I know that watching the series as a kid that I wouldn't see Coates as much as Neill did the majority of the TV series as opposed to Coates who did what, one season? I have an autograph from Ms. Coates, but it's not signed to me! I understand she's reluctant to sign. If anyone out there knows where I could mail it to her...

@bashbrannigan Superman's first season was the best.It was jammed packed with action mystery and thrills..One of the first TV series which used Film Noir/Gangster Style to excite the audience..Pressure from the FCC pushed the directors and producers of the show to change their format in order to make it more entertaining for the general audience,due to its violent content of the 1st season..Hahahaha in regards to Phyllis Coates being the best Lois Lane on TV is totally mutual :)

[bashbrannigan]

I bought the first season of Superman. I was easily the best season. Coates was the best Lois they ever had. In the remaining seasons and even the movies decades later, Lois was just a doofus who kept getting in trouble and Supe had to rescue.

Reverend Alden form Little House on the Prairie LOL!

Phyllis had her moments...but it seems they wanted someone less aggressive, so that's why they went with Noel Neill. She was my favorite.

[02chevyguy]

Isn't it weird how there are similarities to the scene where Superman saves this guy and in the first Superman movie the way he saves Lois when she falls from the helicopter?

Those glares that Lois flashes Clark...LOL!

Phyllis Coates is my favorite Lois. Tougher and definitely sexier. The first year of Superman was "almost" serious. The it got more like the comic books.

Great memories of being a kid.
