Man, this guy's acting is so lame.

1:08 looks like christopher reeve

[NepperCat]

Newton also didnt play Clark as a freakin nerd like Christopher did, I always thought it was weird when he took over suddenly Clark was an uberdork.

[NepperCat]

Like I said, it was heavily influenced by the Batman movies of the time, however it was still a hit with the younger audiance which is where the rather corny episodes came from, but season three was probably the darkest themed season of the whole series.

[Nuclearman2]

No, I'm not buying that. The series could never decide if it wanted to be serious or not. One episode would be about some extremely corny robot or ghost or something and then the next episode would be about a rapist. And Gerard Christopher was a really sub-par actor. The Batman influences in the latter two seasons are really obvious, but what are they doing in a Superman show?!

The Flash was much, much better than this show and the darkness in it suited the character a lot more.

[NepperCat]

Originally the show was obviously aimed toward young kids in the early first season episodes, but as it gained its stride in th later seasons the writing and production matured also because it tried to emulate the noir-sih aspects of Batman which everyone was doing at the time, even the Flash tv series was doing the same thing.

superboy is out least season 1 and season 2 on dvd

you have to get them threw netflix

[Nuclearman2]

In some ways, I prefer the first season, mainly because John Newton looks and sounds a lot better than Gerard Christopher always did. Christopher always seemed a bit...dopey (even in this video) and while Newton wasn't the best actor in the world either, at the very least he had some sort of Superman 'presence' about him that made him believable as a hero.

[Voyagersguidebook]

You make some good points there. I know I was 8 years old when I started watching it, and I loved it for because it was a Superman character. The college stuff and all that went over my head until I was older. When I was in my early teens and they still aired reruns, I appreciated the good storylines and shift into better writing and acting. I think the 1st season doesn't hold up for me like the rest did..possibly because I had a child's pov of it and it was a little cheesier than the rest.

[Nuclearman2]

It's definitely a very interesting take on the character, but it's also a really weird show. It's hard to tell who exactly it was aimed at and the acting and writing shifts between being likeable and decent to being downright unwatchable.
