Trivia:
Throughout the entire run of the series, one building is seen as the Daily Planet Building. It is really Los Angeles City Hall. The rest of the buildings that stand in for "Metropolis" were back lot facades at the old RKO Forty Acres lot in Culver City, which earlier had been Atlanta for
Gone with the Wind (1939), and would later serve as Mayberry for 'The Andy Griffith Show (1961)'.

Goofs:
Crew or equipment visible: In some shots where Superman used the springboard to leap out of frame, the tip of the springboard would bounce back up and appear at the very bottom of the frame.

What a great TV show. Sit back in time and watch as TV brought out the best of Superman.I remember as a child watching the reruns and was so amazed how Superman would fight off the bad guys. Bending steel and bullets that just bounced off his chest. He was my favorite super hero. Let yourself go and relive the Adventures of Superman.I just loved his outfit. The man of steel wearing red and blue. We need more shows like these instead of what we have now. Every show was like a cliff hanger. Nail biting action. Would Superman make it in time? Can he get to the bad guys before they hurt Olsen and Miss. Lois Lane? These were questions that were answered every time Superman came on. He made you feel good about the world. He was just simply the best.
