The line when the late George Reeves said "And they call ME Superman!" is one of the all time funniest punchlines of all time.

They didn't say. They never said it was George Reeves or call him "The actor that plays Superman" and the fact that he casually pushed a piano out of the way kinda makes it look like it was supposed to be the real Superman in the context of the episode

But You got to admit, that episode, has become so famous, not only it had "Superman"George Reeves, but it also got "Lttle Ricky's"character more friends, & He's the only one in the cast, that's alive. I could sit down, & listen to some "I Love Lucy" stories from Him.
