the adventures of superpup part two

The Adventures of Superpup, a 1958 pilot which never aired on TV, was meant to capitalize on the success of Adventures of Superman. Superpup featured the first television portrayal of the Superman characters as non-humans.
Television producer Whitney Ellsworth created a pilot that placed the Superman mythos into a fictional universe populated by dogs instead of human beings. The live-action actors were placed in dog-suits to portray the canine versions of the characters of Superman. The pilot was filmed on the same set as The Adventures of Superman, and the characters were portrayed by little people.

0:18 It sounds as though when Deskmouse gets excited he starts saying "kittykittykittykitty!" That is not survival-ortiented behavior, marine!

Really. Really. Stupid.

Dallas McKennon seems to do the majority of voices in this pilot.

Wow. It was so bad, they didn't even bother to use technicolor for the second half. xD

[CasaiAgicap]

That has got to be the longest lasting fuse I have ever seen.

[JadeBearProductions]

Oh, come on people. This was obviously never meant as a replacement for Superman. This is high camp, and its very funny. I would watch this show.

[PopCultureXIII]

The villain's sidekick is the greatest, most subtle, character portrayal I've ever had the honor of witnessing.
