The friggin' Superboy tv show! Anybody remember this? I've told the story many times but there was a time when two or three multi-hundred million dollar superhero movies came out every year, so people like me who have a genuine love for the genre of the live-action superhero movie had to live with this..
I'm sure it sucks, but I remember it's production value being Captain Power-ific. It was on Saturday afternoons the same time that Shazam had been on when we were kids and I remember late into the last season they started pulling out all the Superman villains, Bizarro and Metallo.
I'll take it over Lois & Clark anyday. I may never actually get around to watching that. The Flash tv show, I'll watch anyday, anytime, but I can always find an excuse to avoid Lois & Clark.
It's so great that all these superhero classics are out on DVD.
I'd be in heaven if I had money to buy all of them. But I will be renting them for the 24 hour fest. I'll be showing the top 7 or 8 superhero films in their entirety, divided up by episodes of Hulk, Wonderman, Shazam, Isis, and SUPERBOY in between. Plus the world famous clipshow, 2 hours of the craziest rare shit I've amassed including the Japanese Spider-Man tv show, the USC Aquaman movie, the Legends of the Superhero's live action tv movie from 1978, the Justice League CBS pilot from 1992, and the Spider-Man pitch reel from some dude in Philadelphia trying to take Toby McGuire's job. Then we'll all go to the theatre to once again believe a man can fly, and I'll probably fall asleep.
