By the time I was watching Superman on TV as a kid in the early sixties, I really believed he was real. I was shocked and saddened to learn later on in life that I was only watching Superman reruns from the late 50's. I was even more saddened (even to this very day) that all the while I was enjoying and praising the TV series, George Reeves had been dead for awhile. George Reeves was and always will be the real Superman to millions. RIP sir.

I loved that sound effect: A reversed bullet ricochet.

George was the first Superman for many. Both he and Christopher looked like the Superman of their time. George 50's Superman from the comics and Christopher 80's Superman from the comics.

I grew up watching George Reeves in Hong Kong at early 70s. He is my superman all the time.

I wasn't around in the 50's, I was a kid in the late 80's early 90's and I grew up watching this on reruns on Nick at Nite and I loved every minute of it. One of my best memories from childhood was watching this show....

When George Reeves got a small demeaning role in From Here to Eternity (1953), fate must have intervened because by 1958 he was the biggest star in America, beloved by millions of adults and idolized by millions of kids.

The best Superman of them all. George Reeves play him well and played Clark Kent the way he should be played.

There is no other Superman then George Reeves. With all respect to Christopher.

I always liked the effect of him flying.

I loved George Reeves Superman when I was a kid. Even in the first grade, the teacher asked us kids to name the planets and I said "Krypton!" lol Even then, and thanks to this wonderful tv series, I believed a man could fly!

been watching superman when I was 12 years old on dc comics and to see it on film still brings a tear to my eye,70 years on and still loving this super hero,my 4 grandkids love him as well,long may he reign,Francis harris

This was the Superman I grew up with on TV! George Reeves was loved by many and he truly made his mark in Americana!!

George Reeves was in his 40's when he did these color episode stunts. What a guy.

For me: George Reeves will always be Superman!

I LOVE THAT OUT FIT.😉

I watched all these as a kid. I guess I would look smug all the time also if I were Superman. Does anybody remember George Reeves as one of Scarlett's beaux in Gone With The Wind? As a youngster I thought it was a remarkable coincidence that three strongman characters were played by Reeves: George, Steve, and Christopher.

He was murdered. No one commits suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head.

In some of the landings he totally missed the mark but he’s quick to get his balance back! He was a hell of an athlete!

When you consider the special effects, which were just not available back then, especially given the little bit of money they had to work with . . . in some ways George Reeves did more actual "flying" under his own physical power than any other Superman in history.

How about the goose bumps we got when the theme music began. What fabulous music.
