Adventures of Superman Third Season Goofs

- In this Adventures of Superman third season goofs video, I take a look at one of my favorite shows of all time and behind the scenes, plot, and visual goofs of the first season of Superman to be presented in color.
In the third season of the Adventures of Superman I had to look pretty hard to find goofs. This time I found mistakes between how Superman was presented in the comics as compared to the television series, then there was a lot of re-used film and sets. There's a lady in one scene that you would think should be an extra, but behaves like she was just a bystander walking by from the way she stares at Jimmy Olsen doing his scene.
In this video I look the time travel episode, Through the Time Barrier, Olsen's Millions, Bully of Dry Gulch, and the Talking Clue.
The Adventures of Superman starred actors George Reeves as Clark Kent and Superman, Noel Neill as Lois Lane, Jack Larson as Jimmy Olsen, John Hamilton as Perry White, and Robert Shayne as Inspector Henderson.

You forgot to mention all the time he runs from his office only to be removing his hat he wasn't wearing when he left his office.
Maybe he picked it up on the way out. Who wears hats indoors?
Loved it. I was a HUGE SUPERMAN FAN when I was a kid and STILL AM AT AGE 65. AWESOME STUFF. KEEP IT COMING.
Thanks!
Sterling Holloway has one of those recognizable voices
Love his voice . Always recognize it when I hear it.
A very funny and talented Actor.
Through 1977, he was Winnie the Pooh. He had MANY voice over credits. A phenomenal talent given he didn't have much to offer physically (over 100 movie parts, I believe plus many tv roles).
I loved "The Adventures of Superman" when I was a kid. When finding out about George Reeve's death. I remember asking my Dad how Superman could die. He answered, rather contemptuously "There's no such thing as Superman!"
Thank you, I grew up in the beautiful 50's watching the Supermans. I watch the reruns now.
When the show went to colour the producers did not like the additional expense required They shortened the season to 13 episodes instead of 26 for the last 4 years of the show. And the office scenes with Perry White were filmed back to back and inserted into the actual shows later. No one he only had one or two outfits. Still a great TV series. George Reeves IS Superman.
I did, and I bet most of us did also - tied a towel around our neck and jumped off the porch trying to fly after watching the show after school.
i like how they dedicated an episode to one of Perry White's funny trademark lines "Great Caesar's Ghost" and made it literally about the Ghost of Great Ceaser :-DD, one of my favorite episodes, great fun..
0:43 Jimmy’s cowboy outfit looks like something that Doc Brown would give to Marty McFly.
Yeah, it was a 1950's thing.
I was thinking the same when I saw it 👌
I love it when he rips the gun in half.
Yes, the scripts did suffer after the series went to color for a variety of reasons. Mostly, the producers wanted the show to cater more towards children. Many of the black and white episodes can be a little too adult for kids. Nonetheless, the series is a classic right up till the end. And the colors of Superman's costume have never been matched. Absolutely the best.
I was too in awe at Superman's powers as a 6-year-old to notice bloopers. When my mom showed me the newspaper article which showed George Reeves picture as Clark Kent and telling me Superman died, I burst out crying. I was sobbing that "the mean men" were going to come and hurt us. Had CGI existed back then it probably would have scarred me worse!😅
Yes l can watch them over and over hoping l would see one for the first time. Just like the twilight zone. Never noticed as a child there were 2 Lois lane's. How many episodes 🤔 did they make. Was there any lost episodes like bonanza has ?
My 4th birthday was a little over a week after George Reeves died. I remember my mother telling me he had died. I could not understand how Superman could die.
The budget was tighter then one would imagine that’s why they always wear the same clothes. Shooting multiple episodes at the same time and putting them together that’s why Whites desktop was full of papers so he could remember his lines
When I saw your video photo I just realized how much Buzz Lightyear looks like George Reeves.
That corrugated metal wall at 5:48 also shows up in the Daily Planet in one of the offices. I always wondered what that was about; a loading dock door? In the Time Barrier episode when everyone passes out in the cave, there's a strategically placed leaf for Clark to lay his head down on. Can you imagine all that fake dirt sticking to his Vitalis/BrylCreemed hair!
If superman punches a crook in the face,the guys head would explode.
No matter what, as a kid growing up in the 60s my brothers and I couldn't wait to see superman.
Keep up the good work....I watched Superman as a kid...Still a huge fan of the old shows!!
Thanks
Holloway was a popular actor back then ,he was unique in that at a time when men had greased slick-back hair his was more of a 70s and later blow-dried look.
I think most knew super man was not real but still a hero to kids like I was back then him and the Lone Ranger
Love watching these goods from this classic show
That time machine episode was ridiculous
We did get to see Lois in a Sexy Cavegirl Outfit, Though.
@@hayashikato6576 To bad that it wasn't Phyllis Coats.
Speaking of time travel...I wish I could go back in time and go on a date Lois Lane (Noel Darleen Neill). 🤓
I was about 10 years old when Superman was on TV. I used to get a bath towel and tie it around my neck and "fly" through the house all day long. Those were the the days my friend, we thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day. We'd live the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose...
@@alanr4447a Thanks for your reply, yes, we believed in those iconic words, what memories.
@@alanr4447aFor we were young and sure to get our way……
I was younger then!!!!!!
@@vebnew Thanks fo your reply. Yes, we were all younger.....the hands of time move on.
Lots of fun watching this.
Thanks
Grabbing the gun, squishing it, and thus destroying evidence.
I never thought of that.😀
The quality of the show drastically went down with the advent of color. One of my favorite episodes of all time is the one with the Martians.
Nobody could bust through a wall like George Reeves! Probably among the most realistic effects of the series. I still love this show.
I remember when the series started in color........it was a dream come true.
Ahhh Yes.......TECHNICOLOR
The best part was when Clark is jealous about the guy looking at Lois.
I like that scene a lot. I personally think that might be the funniest scene in the whole series. 😀😀
" Oh Clark this is terrible, a lynch mob has thrown Jimmy in jail, and the sheriff is laughing at him!!".
" No problem Lois.......im sure Jimmy can handle it."
" Then Clark, the worst of all..........the Sheriff's men are making Google eyes at ME."
" ILL BE RIGHT OVER LOIS!!!."😂
The way Clark flares his nostrils and looks indignant always cracks me up. 🤣
Got to love the show especially the Goofs thanks for pointing them out 😀
Thanks! I appreciate it!😀
In one episode he vibrated his molecules so fast he could teleport through a wall. So what's a little plaster dust to him.
Good point.😀
One of my favorite episodes. Not a lot of action, more cerebral.
They should've brought in The Flash, Golden Age, for that episode.
i remember that as a child,
i went outside and stood next to a try and started vibrating my hand to separate my molecules
and walk through the tree
it's funny because i'm an epileptic and my mom thought i was having an epileptic attack
LOL
Superman took advantage of a phenomenon known as Quantum Tunneling!
😃
I've been watching old Alfred Hitchcock shows lately. The really old black and white shows and I've noticed by the staircase they use the same house for filming in. They just changed decorations!
I like seeing extras in movies when you keep seeing them walking back and forth, like in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA when the Cylons attack when a reporter is talking you see the same man with a red flag.
I still watch it every sun
@4:44 here's a thought, he didn't use his super breath because he knew it would knock over other chemicals adding to the fire. Right tool for the right job.
Anyone else notice the outline of his superman emblem is very skew? Compare the upper left corner with the upper right. The right corner is almost twice as long.
Yes you are right!
The woman in the red shirt is Martian Manhunter in disguise lol
"the same cop is riding his tricycle" 😂😂😂 he's not a toddler
Great show especially when it went to colour
I was born in 1946 and watched these when new😊
I also loved SUPERMAN. Not when I was a kid though. It's only after I became a superhero at the age of 39 was I able to fully appreciate how sublime HIS superpowers were. My superpowers were being able to clear a room after eating Mexican Food. Crude I admit. BUT you should see my costume.
The woman at the beginning of the clip looks a lot like Barbara Stanwyck, while Sterling Holloway looks like he could be the twin brother of Buck Owens.
I say it was her Barbara Stanwyck because they used the same lot for the Virginian and superman. 👍👍👍
@@josephpetrizzojr5340 Those shows were not on at the same time.
Trying to kill Jimmy. Happens 7 times a week. Hit on Lois. Not even krptonite can save you.
Another piece of trivia. The police station showed up at 3:01 and is located in Highland Park, California. The building still stands but is a police museum today.
Someone ought to do a full character montage of Perry White's fascinating old character sometime! (He) was born in 1887.
I remember my dad having a conversation with a young kid who said he was going to watch "Superman".
My dad asked if he meant the Christopher Reeve movie version.
The kid said:" No, the one where Superman looks like a guy on his 40s. Even Lois Lane looks thirty five".
A bit of trivia. If the National Periodical (D.C. Comics) execs went along with The Green Lantern's proposed alter ego's name, Alan Ladd, it is quite possible that the actor Alan Ladd would've appeared in THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN as The Green Lantern.
Crazy Man - another great video! Your narration voice is a bit like Tom Bodette.
Interesting. Thanks 😀
You might recognize the cave that Superman busts out of. It was used before in the series. Up in Griffith Park, I believe that it was also used as the bat cave.
In the series Lois and Clark, the editor of the paper always exclaimed “Great Shades of Elvis “ instead of “Great Caesar’s Ghost “
Talking about using the same window ... on the show "Big Bang Theory", where the elevator is busted, they only built the single set to represent all five floors. They just moved the "Warning: Out of Order" tape to different locations as the actors walked from floor to floor. I saw the actual set on a Studio Tour a few years back, and they explained it all.
This is actually very common in TV and movies. It's cheaper to make one prop look like dozens of different locations than to actually build or visit dozens of different locations.
While the series began filming in color, it wasn't actually broadcast in color until 1965.
Who had a color TV?
@@howie9751 Historically, color sets began being sold on a larger scale and for "real" to the general public (and not as a novelty item), March 1954, most especially in NYC. By 1959, an Uncle of mine had one. He received it as a sales bonus from his company. Back then, a color TV was more than a month's pay.
"The following program is brought to you in living color...on NBC."
@ Tvcrazyman-- I have enjoyed watching Superman episodes for decades. I like these Superman goofs videos. I was wondering if you live in Metropolis, and are a newspaper reporter for The Daily Planet? LOL 😊😊
Actually, I live in Smallville and visit Metropolis on occasion. The traffic is crazy there I'm telling you. 😀😀 Thanks for watching and commenting.
Mr. Kent always ran toward the store room hatless, then was hatted opening the door.
Talk about recycling your talent extras! Superman would have been made on a very tight budget, so save money where ever you can. I was surprised when they made them in color from seasons 3 onward, how the picture quality suffered. It surely wasn't Eastman Color.
The seasons 1 and 2 were magnificent in black& white, really sharp film transfers.
I am enjoying your "Goofs" so keep em coming. 😊
Thanks. I just uploaded season four goofs ruclips.net/video/K2_6nshuTLg/видео.html
The building looks like LAPD Hollywood when I was a kid..
The Bully of Dry Gulch: Maybe that lady is walking in circles around the building? You know how seniors like to walk around the mall for exercise; kinda like that.
She must have been a fast walker. Interesting theory, though.
Great Caesars ghost, this is a good video 👍
Thanks 👍
You mean to tell me after all these years Superman couldn’t really fly?
He could fly, but he didn't want to cheat the special effects department out of a paycheck. You know Superman always thinking of others. 😀 😀😀😀
Oh, but he could fly! He would start at the 40th floor and fly all the way to the street. 😯
Great video!
Thanks
I loved " The Philipy Expertiment. " Which is true. But still Hush Hush.
CrazymanTV, just finish watching the episode 'King for a day' and immediately notice the era in that episode. Look closely, the last leap that George Reeves does on that show, it looks like the diving board broke. I'm no movie maker, but that leap didn't look right, maybe it's just me.🤔
I'll have to check that out.
The old Batman series uses the same footage for leaving the Batcave in the Batmoblie and driving to Commissioner Gordon's office.
Batman and Robin always left the Batmoblie the same way and the same people were walking past every episode.
I remember growing up in North Hollywood where they said if you could catch a mistake you could get 50 bucks I don’t know if that was ever true. I remember hearing that. Remember watching the show Emergency being filmed on houses that they were being dismantled and my dad drove over the fire hose and get a ticket. That’s pretty funny back then
I always noticed the dusty clothing in one scene and the next its free of dust. Not a big deal. But funny.
The lady in the red shirt was triplets. Back in the '20s, they sang together in Vaudeville. That's MY explanation, anyway.
At 2:50 to 3:06, that type of "repeated scene" happened in the early series of Burke's Law. Remember Gene Barry as Amos Burke, the multi millionaire Los Angelis police captain? I blame him for my addiction - to Rolls Royce motor cars (and subsequently Bentleys). Ah well, on with the show.
The red shirt lady looks like barbara stanwyck.
Is the time machine actually some kind of tape echo? Very appropriate in-joke if it is, though I don't recognise what brand it might be.
Those were the good old day's, I love it I grew up watching superman in the late 1950's & early 1960's there's only 1 superman & that's George Reeves it's a shame that he was murdered back in 1959 he had just signed a new contract for another 3 yrs to be superman then the poor guy was murdered, I used to get my mother to make me a dish towel with a big S on it to be superman 1 day we lived in a 2 family house that my grandfather owned we lived on the 2nd floor I was hanging from the banister and fell Right on top of my grandfather after that episode there was no more superman in our house ever again, oh my grandfather was ok thank God from me falling on him.
that was super
Also in Through the Time Barrier, it's never explained how Superman got stuck with the rest of the gang in the past.
It was funny seeing the same woman walk through a scene over and over. I believe that is called a "walk on" role in the business. Westerns are full of them. It's fun to watch old westerns and pay attention to the people they invariably have walking across the western street in the background, often for no apparent reason and sometimes looking quite awkward.
never noticed the some window in a lot of the scenes till just now and the elderly lady in red
With you writing about time travel, I'm sure you've seen The Final Countdown at least once. 🙂
I recorded that movie on vhs from the television back in the day and watched it a million times. 😀 Martin Sheen was great in that movie and Kirk Douglas.
An underappreciated movie, imho.
@@normanacree1635 Cmdr. Turman to Lasky, "You seem to have a forty-year-old dog on your hands."
Wonder if that plaster dust was asbestos…
Back then you could never tell about things like that, but at least it was fireproof. 😀 lol
It's a bird! It's a plane..no, it's a guy flogging his books! Lol jk. Great job,I love this kind of stuff. Subbed
Thanks! 😀
Superman liked to knock down the wall...😂
It's true. George Reeves loved knocking down walls.
I bought the whole DVD set to try and relive my childhood. Actually the actors were all quite good. The time machine episode is the only one where Lois shows a bit of skin. I didn't remember that.
There's a bit of Lois skin in the Egyptian episode where she and Jimmy are trapped with the poison gas. Noel had a nice little figure!
@@wadebarnett2542 Must watch that immediately. Actually both Lois's were well made.
Funny how they started filming SUPERMAN in color and color TVs where not the norm yet !
Ha, good stuff.
Interesting. 2:51 When police cart is under flag note flag shape. 2:56 Same shape when police cart underneath In the film Sparticus watch the part where Kirk Douglas breaks an egg with his hands and his face gets splashed.. The reaction of the actors looks like it was just supposed to get on his hands.
Good job
Thanks
Every time one of these bad guys shoot superman are they being charged with potential homicide?
I've seen only a few episodes of the Adventures of Superman so can't say for certain if he ever used his super breath. My guess is the FX team didn't have a way to extinguish the flames in the Lucky Kat episode fire scene that would allow them to make it appear that Superman used his super breath, so they had George Reeves use water from a hose. It's completely out of character for Superman not to use his super breath in that situation. I guess the writers figured if Superman had access to a water supply in a fire situation, he would use it instead of his powers.
In Superman III he uses his breath to freeze a lake sized portion of a river, flies the large chunk of ice back to the scene of a chemical plant fire and drops it. The heat melts the falling ice creating a rain effect that extinguishes the flames. You could argue that he could have simply used his breath to put out the fire instead of flying away to get water. Consider that the fire is burning the entire time he is gone freezing the lake. It appears that sometimes writers want Superman to save the day in a dramatic fashion. Freezing a lake and dropping it on a fire to extinguish it looks better than having him simply blow the flames out.
I always loved that scene from Superman III so I guess they made the right call on that one. I've been trying to remember when George Reeves used super breath too. I could have sworn he did though. Hopefully, it's not one of those Mandella affects.
Big fan, I seem to remember this SM using super breath to blow out a brush fire that was about to burn up Jimmy & Lois, maybe in the B&W eps.
@@tvcrazyman He used his super breath in the second season episode Perry White's Scoop.
The costume Super Man wore was black and grey.
Was looking for more info on your TimeTravel books
Here's my book page amzn.to/3OdYNVD . If it were a movie series I would say the first book is like this epic tale of Biblical proportions that takes a group of teenagers from the 50's to major points in Biblical history. It's origins start out at the Philadelphia Experiment in World War II and branch out from there. It's got Nazis and adventure sort of like an Indiana Jones movie but with time travel. The next book goes into a bit of a mystery in a western town where the main character runs into figures like Billy the Kid and ends up taking on the main bad guy from the first book, and then the third book puts it all together and takes you from the west to the distant future and back to the present. I wrote the books as though they were the kind of action adventure movie I would like to see onscreen. Hope that gives you the kind of info you were looking for. Thanks
Large windows back then with no screens or storm windows
Gosh 12,000 views in a few hrs.
In the Lucky Cat, when Superman deals with the sabotaged floor, I've always wondered why he left the meeting, went downstairs, changed from Clark to Superman, dealt with the sabotage, turned back into Clark and then came back upstairs to rejoin the meeting. Why the wardrobe change when no one else was downstairs to see him?
Maybe just in case somebody was watching and saw him use his powers.
There was an original b/w series of Batman and Robin and every now and then Bruce Wayne and Dick Greyson would be downtown, but you hardly ever saw a regular Gothamite walking around!
There were at least 2 different sets of old 40s BATMAN serials. With 2 different casts.
@@kjk7611 I saw (on DVD!) The story, in short pieces, where a devious person had a lab, & they - he - could send out a kind of pulse & it would fry part of a car's, truck's electrical system, and he wanted to get Gotham to pay him $$ ! I think it was a kind of theater show, where you would go the theater for a movie, & a segment of the story would be shown. Thank you 🤓
Could someone please explain WHY his cape is hanging down from his neck, instead of up against his neck like in EVERY other portrayal of Superman.....it is even worse in the Color Episodes. Please explain it has bothered me since the 1970's when I first saw them.
Thank you!
Sir, I must ask, where are you from?
Let's just say I'm not from a big city as you can probably tell from my accent. 😀
@@tvcrazyman
Well yeah, I can identify. I am an old dude from L.A. (Lower Alabama) and I am usually pretty good with regional accents. While yours seems familiar I can't really nail it.
Also, your books initially remind me of a series that I read long ago called "The Cross-Time Engineer" series. I really enjoyed them and I look foreword to checking out yours!
❤
My wife is seen some of these episodes for the first time. At the end of one, she turned to me and asked, Why does Clark go down to the store room to change and fly away? He was all alone in his private office, why didn’t he do it there?
Because at the Daily Planet people have a habit of walking into someone's office without knocking.
0:51 Just like in the matrix where the woman in the red dress distracts us
this woman in the red dress is distracting us as well
Distracting us from what ?? you may ask
FROM THE OLD WESTERN SKIP BIN THAT IS LITERALLY JUST SITTING THERE
AND LET'S NOT FORGET
THE BLUE CAR IN THE BACKGROUND
May i add
THE BLUE CAR THAT DOESN'T HAVE A HAND CRANK TO START IT
This is the 1800's
Try watching, "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" with Henry Winkler, there is two different airport scenes in it using what looks like the same seven or eight people but the second airport scene the cloths are different. The first airport these seven or more people keep walking around the airport in specific weird patterns, it had gotten so obvious it was embarrassing. The way they were walking around had no common sense pattern to it. I cringe every time I see those parts of the movie. If you can get around those parts, the rest of the movie is great. Both airport scenes are supposed to be at two different airports, but if you look close you can tell it's the same airport building, just a different part of it.
They must have been on really tight budget for that movie.
Looks more like Superman's grandad
I enjoyed this series as a kid even though it had some silly stuff in it.
