I am 67 years old and I still love this show!!!

During the Cold War there was nothing like having Superman who stood for truth, justice and the American way.

George loved doing the takeoffs and landings and crashing thru walls

A time when superheroes had principles.

These landings still look realistic, even today. Can you imagine a kid in the 1950s seeing them? Yet another reason for the show's incredible success. Thanks for the post.

Truly a wonderful man, performer, and humanitarian. George meant as much. If not more, to children, as any man that ever lived. I was one of them. Truly, God take care of his soul, an may he forever be at peace.

George Reeves had to be in great physical shape even to do those landings, especially those in which he is coming in on an angle. He gave life and humanity to an iconic character that endures to this very day. God bless you George: a great actor.

Today, if he tried to stop a car by grabbing the bumper, he'd just be left there holding a bunch of plastic😎

And strong knees. This is the Superman I grew up with. He is the ONLY Superman for me.

The Superman theme music is amazing. Just imagine hearing that music theme of Superman again, wouldn't that bring back memories?

To me, this never gets old. I've been watching George Reeve's Superman ever since the early 70s.

George was so athletic. Those landings always looked so authentic. The sound effect added to them.

One of the best Superman's I've ever enjoyed when I was a young boy.. Who didn't like Supermen? Every kid imitated Superman and wanted to be just like him. George Reeves is one of the best

The BEST Superman! Had my own Superman suit as a little boy. Used to wear it and jump off an old outhouse roof onto a couple of old mattresses trying to fly...lol.

This out did every TV show of the 1950s and still is a great show to anyone who sees the show for the years to come

He always came in through the windows. That's terrific.

Loved George Reeves. Still do. Justice was not done where he was concerned. That a great performer who deserved better than he got!

Despite Hollywood's millions in Tv and movie special effects for Superman, that supersonic scenery in this TV series with the most believable Superman -- GeorgeReeves -- is still the best. No ballet in the sky. No silence. No evidence of speed. And when he crashes through a wall it's fantastic. The one landing that was not featured here -- one of the more spectacular entrances wasn't even on the Superman TV series. It was when Reeves landed in front of little Ricky Ricardo during his birthday party in "I Love Lucy". What an entrance. And at that time, what a special guest appearance. I believe it was one of the highest-rated episodes at that time. I'm a baby-boomer and I remember something special -- in the '50s there were 3 motion picture icons -- Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, and James Dean. But there were only 2 cultural icons that had an enormous fan base and affect on that new post-war generation: Elvis Presley & Superman. They're the ones with the lunch boxes, dolls, and all the media perks. I agree with ECO473 -- it's a shame George Reeves didn't live long enough to see how his fans truly loved him well into adulthood. But at least Noel Neill, Phyliss Coates, (who is still alive at 92 & last of the original cast), and Jack Larson did.

George played.the part brilliantly. He put so much into that role. He played Clark Kent as a cool component reporter and Superman with a serious kind of charm. As well having a great physical and athletic approach to the part. I've heard that the series was considered a low budget production. However, their production work seems pretty high quality to me. The acting, the story lines, the special effects and overall production value, still hold up very well. I enjoyed this program as a child, I enjoyed watching with my child and now I enjoy watching it with my grandchildren. That is a testament to how good this show really was. George, you will never be forgoten!

Man, I didn't appreciate how physical of a role George Reeves had when I was a kid.

When I was a kid, I LOVED George Reeve's landings! When I "played" Superman, I would jump off the top of the dresser, complete with landing sound effects!

I didn't know there were this many different shows let alone this many different landings. George Reeves was my Superman growing up. He was great.

7 minutes from 70 yrs ago more inspiring than anything the studios have put out all 21st century

great actor an athlete!!!He made it look a lot easier than it was

The black and white episodes are my favorite, this Superman did not mess around!

George Reeves was a Boxer for years! It gave him certain qualities and a sense poise we admire when we watch him in The Adventures of Superman! He was a fun guy to work with and much beloved of his co-stars.

My favorite show when I was a kid. Can't tell ya how much I wanted to fly. I had a cape and everything. Hurt myself numerous times, jumping off the bed.

This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This looks damn brilliant for, the 1950s they had nothing in them days (well talent) but look at this. It's great.

the one and only.

I used to live for Saturday cartoons and The Adventures Of Superman. And, if you ask me, they did a hell of a job on those landings, takeoffs, and flying sequences, considering the times and the budget.

George Reeves was the best Superman and best Clark Kent! Flying out or into a window....he was the "Master".

fou-rire garanti sur cette excellente vidéo !

Great landings, and the music and wind sounds combined on all the scenes. Love it

"Fighting for truth, justice and the American way". I loved this show when I was a kid.

This Superman show was great! Thanks for posting these clips!

Thanks for sharing this....I sure do remember all of this.....watched this with my parents...they too loved Superman....HIGH 5

Best special effects evvver. Love this show. Good clean fun

George Reeves:** "The Original"** "The Best"** "The Ultimate" "Superman"** "Great Actor"** "Great Human" "Being!!!!!"**

I loved this show on Saturday mornings as a child. Hugely popular TV show with the kiddos!

Damn, I never fully appreciated the athleticism of Reeves with all that jumping, pretty impressive.

Many of these clips 70 years old. When television was in its infancy n no computers or good budget props . Amazing theme song n acting by all .George was over 40 at end of show .He was spectacular as full cast to Lois was certainly a looker with a body to match

The best of Superman.

George Reeves is Still the best who ever played Superman!

Would love to hear a symphony orchestra do The Collective Works of The Adventures of Superman! People would go wild hearing the violins and harp, followed by those trumpets.

George was very athletic to do that. Watched this in the 60's as kid I loved it.

I love this Video....... Super Fantastic.......best ever.... Great Job editing David...... and I'm in my sixties

His poor knees

It's a dirty shame that George Reeves didn't live long enough to see how his fans truly loved him well into adulthood.

no superman could take off and land like george reeves

Superman sure dropped in on a lot of people 😁 these clips and the ones from the color episodes show you just how athletic George Reeves was ... That was a lot of jump landings and takeoffs.

I remember this show back in the day

At 4:02, I believe the car in that shot is either a Rolls Royce Silver Dawn or a Bentley MkVI. Both lovely cars for VERY comfortable cruising along at a gentle pace in their day. I loved them both! Take care.

They showed how he did it on I love Lucy Little Ricky’s B Day Party where he used a Parallel Bar to jump through window.George Reeves was a practitioner of Judo also and knew how to do rolls and jumps.

I always liked that sound. I think it was made by playing a bullet ricochet backwards. I have a parrot who makes a similar sound when he lands! I love the way his cape always blows in the wind, even indoors.

George Reeves did the best takeoffs and landings as Superman - nobody else even comes close. Pure athleticism and dedication. And yes, there were tricks to it - but it still required a guy in great physical condition.

This was the REAL Superman !!

Love that sound

I love these compilations. Thank you.

Those landings and take offs look better than the Man of Steel recent movies!!

"Your word is good enough for me Superman " .

He will remain the best Superman of all !!

Dear David Orbach - I LOVE this compilation! Great job, bud! I laughed heartily @ the 1:41 mark when George punched that guy twice. For some reason, it looks and sounds comical, ha! There are others. But I can't comment on all of them. My memory must be failing - I DON'T even remember some of these!

this is way much better than today's childish computer generated special effect

Even though he was just jumping off a step ladder, he sure made it look real.

it was so much fun to go along with the movie as a kid

George Reeves was the best Superman!

It cracks my head when the superman jump through the window I can't stop laugh

Love this

go go George reeves our favorite super man

Seing a classic superman movie is good for kids to watch look simple

Cool stuff..to this very day!

Wow I wonder what he felt like when he came home from the studio and realize he jumped up a 6 foot stand every time from a different angle sometimes you can see him jumping with the shadow before even jobs LOL for a whole school staff

These iconic sound effects were what really made the show so memorable, especially the "Landing" one. The "Superman in flight" music as well as the "Take off" sound were also important. Decades later, I can still recite the entire opening theme narration "Faster than a speeding bullet!", etc. Wonder how the "Landing" sound effect was done?

Such athleticism.

Didn't we ALL try to take off and land like Super man,, I even had dreams of flying like him! lol Fond memories,,,,,,

May you Rest In Peace, Superman.

Pra voar nessa época era complicado😂😂😂 tinha que ser só no pulo mesmo.

I love how George just "sticks" the landings almost all the time without another step. I realize of course if he stumbled or was off balance they'd do another take. But most of the time he nails it! That very first landing on the deck of the "ship" was a perfect example.

Those landings are cool sounding

I love it when they say "It's Superman," What's the point of saying something like that. Who else could it have been?

A time when Superman's face looked like the original comic

Thanks a Lot for these videos I enjoyed when I was a child

¡Lo bueno que los tobillos y las rodillas de supermán son de acero! Si no, ¡qué madriiiiiiiiza al terminar la serie!

Si Simonson was an absoulte genius on the special effects.

Big bally Superman

How Supe avoided literally knocking the crooks heads off with a punch is amazing

George earned his pay the hard way! This landings were a lot of punishment in his knees!

Nobody - and I mean NOBODY - did Superman better than George Reeves.

Great for it's time loved it when i was a little kid

1:40---That punch though--SH*T!!

Superman almost always came thru an open window. Very rarely was the window closed.❤

Wheeeet! Boy, can he ever wreck a place. :-)

I like that sound when he lands!

1:56 Imagine superman running while carrying you and accidentally hit your head on the wall. Goodbye cervical spine :))

Still beautiful to watch it

Any kid who could not recite “ look,up in the sky etc ,was to be avoided

3:58 that tune is wonderful to hear

I love how everyone trusts Superman without question. The idea was that people should be true to their words and deeds. Seems to be something in short supply in today's world. I'm so sick of dark, flawed "hero's."

George Reeves had his take-offs and landing down to a science. He would usually swing in from an overhead bar or jump off a platform/ladder. He would bounce off a spring-board to take off. Most other Supermen didn't put much effort into either.
