  • In this video on the Adventures of Superman fourth season goofs, I look at mistakes and goofs with unnecessary props, special effects, plot holes, and things that make you wonder. In this series starring George Reeves as Superman, Jack Larson as Jimmy Olsen, Noel Neill as Lois Lane, and John Hamilton as Perry White, there's more right than wrong, but even the best classic television series have goofs.
    There are some goofs in the fourth season that stand out to me such as the scene where Superman is flying underwater in the episode, Peril by the Sea. It's an otherwise excellent episode guest starring Claude Akins, but the special effect for this one seems way off. They used the same sound effect as when Superman is flying in the air.
    In "The Deadly Rock" episode, why does George Reeves' Superman not use his heat vision instead of a weed burner to destroy kryptonite from afar?
    I also, discuss the mistake in the "Big Freeze" where Superman is frozen and loses all his superpowers.
    There's a special effects goof in the episode, "The Girl Who Hired Superman" that I believe may have been one of the first time this effect was used and was eventually used very successfully in many other programs throughout the years to simulate superhero jumping abilities.
    Other episodes I find goofs in are "The Unlucky Number", "Joey", and "The Jolly Roger".

    I love your videos on The Adventures of Superman. I used to watch the series back in the 70s as a kid. It was and still is a favorite show of mine. I think them displaying the Superman comics was to pay homage to the comics that started it all. Plus, I'm sure it made fir a good gag where you can just pick up an issue to find out his true identity. As for the flamethrower, I'm sure since it was Kryptonite, he wasn't going to chance a possible feedback from the Kryptonite. Kryptonite is supposed to be unpredictable at times. That's probably the explanation for that one.
    As a side note on a previous Adventures of Superman video you did, the springboard he jumped on I'm sure wouldn't be seen on tvs in the 50s because they were 8" screens at the time, but as the screen got bigger you were able to catch a glimpse of them.
    To me, George Reeves will always be Superman.

I always thought it so neat that they "NEARLY" shared the same last name. As far as the underwater sound, I never even thought about how the sounds would be different. I just was that he was "flying" underwater. LOL Love your channel! RIBBIT!!!

    Great video, thank you! In all the many times of seeing the episodes, I'd really never taken into account any of the goofs. Thank you for pointing them out! As for Claude Atkins hearing the Man of Steel talking underwater with Atkins being in a submarine ... well, water is a great conductor of sound, as it is so dense. Maybe Superman just talked a bit louder, enabling the sound waves to penetrate through the skin of the sub. That sounds sort of plausible. Remember those WWII films, where a submarine was on the bottom of the ocean, hiding from the enemy? Everyone had to remain absolutely quiet, lest the enemy's sonar detect them, as it was able to pick up the slightest sound. Anyhow, thanks again for your incredible series of vidz on this, one of the best examples of classic, timeless TV.

His portrayal made it seem perfectly natural that this extremely handsome man could fly, crash through walls, and so on. Of course he has help. An 'A' list production crew that includes Harry Gerstad, academy award winning film editor on "Champion", the 1949 Kirk Douglas boxing film and "High Noon" starring Gary Cooper. Watch High Noon and see how many day players you recognize from the first two seasons. George Reeves wanted good old time character actors who came out of the studio system to fill the guest spots such as Rys Williams, Elisha Cook,

Jenks appeared in "His Girl Friday" as one of the wise cracking reporters. There are many others too numerous to mention. Next time The Maltese Falcon airs on TCM, look for John Hamilton as the D.A., and Elisha Cook (Homer Garity) as Wilma, the 'gunsil' who would like nothing better rhan to blow away Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart).
    This is the best of early television on a shoestring budget. I'm now 71, yet still thrill to see George's second season close ups soaring across the Metropolis (L.A.) skyline, in big screen high definition splendor.

    Hi!
    I really enjoy your "Superman goofs" features. Don't know how you catch so many of them, which, it seems to me, usually become obvious only when the footage in question is enlarged, slowed or frozen. As a kid seeing the program as it originally aired, I was nowise prone to looking for such errors; then too, the smaller, then prevalent, TV screens rendered such faults more difficult, if not virtually impossible, to
    notice. But I loved the series then, and still do, especially those from the earliest seasons, which were often whodunit-type entries.
    Enthusiastically,
    Ray C.

    Two big goofs that I had noticed. In “The Deadly Rock”, it was never explained why Kryptonite affected Gary Allen. Just because it caused his plane to crash, he shouldn’t have such an adverse reaction to it; and what about any other passengers on the plane, or was he the sole survivor? I still enjoyed this episode because guest stars included former serial Batman Robert Lowery, and Captain Midnight’s sidekick Sid Melton. The other goof was in “The Big Freeze”. When Superman was frozen, wouldn’t he have radiated cold? Wouldn’t the others have felt chilly around him? And why weren’t his Clark Kent clothes, Lois’ makeup, and anything he touched affected?

    Your comments and observations are all interesting, especially to someone like myself who watched this series faithfully as a kid. Naturally I never watched Superman looking for flaws and probably wouldn’t have noticed them anyway. In the flying sequences I knew he wasn’t really flying but I wanted to believe he was. As a 10 year old boy then “The Adventures of Superman” was definitely one of my favorite programs. As the seasons went on, the plots became sillier and I eventually lost interest in the program. Prof. Pepperwinkle was about the end for me. Too childish when became a little older. I remember being shocked when I heard George Reeves had taken his own like. Goodbye to the “Man of Steel “.

    One of my neighbors when I was a kid used to put a sheet around his neck and use it as a cape make believe he was flying around the apartment that we lived in, one night I was sound asleep and I heard police cars and all sorts of rubbish was an apartment in bedford-stuyvesant Brooklyn, it was approximately 2 in the morning, what had happened was my friend, was having a dream, and he jumped out the window of the apartment, looking thing for him he lived on the first floor, he landed in a bunch of bushes, he immediately woke up , with the shock of the bushes, brushing across his body. He was totally confused and shocks couldn't figure out where he was or what just happened, as a young boy he started screaming for mommy, waking up his parents as well as a good portion of the neighbors nearby, somebody call the police, thinking that one of the apartments was being broken into. Long story short the fact that he was sound asleep when you jumped out, landed on the bushes, other than a couple of scrapes from the bushes he was fine. Never forgot that story. I am not sure whether his parents allowed him to watch Superman on television anymore?

    There were no 720p, 1080p, 4k TVs, DVR, VCR, stop, pause, slow, and so on back then. There was simply a fast paced grainy or snowy picture coming over rabbit ears or an outside antenna that you had to be fixed on because if you missed it, it was gone. Only once they hit the rerun circuit years later could you hope to see the episode again (maybe in a month or two) and see what you missed the first time around. They weren't million dollar productions, and they were shot fast as possible because they had a weekly show and this needed to be rehearsed, filmed, edited, and aired all in that week. In recent times, they suggest that Clark "super-hypnotizes" everyone around him, but that is a modern "solution" to a 70-year-old issue. It was more like you don't expect Superman to be Clark, so therefore you never see one as the other. It is like seeing a celebrity in a location you don't expect them, and then ignoring them because it just can't be him.
    As to reverse film, most of us caught onto that long ago, and just accept it. Otherwise, the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" video would have been canned and the hundreds of Kung Fu movies in the '70s and '80s. People can really jump backwards up to a tree branch ten feet off the ground?

Everyone thought I was crazy, but listen to the voices and think in your mind, Shayne, Reeves, Coates and you will slowly say, wow! It's possible cause it sure sounds like them. And the show was made on such a small budget, why couldn't the actors do those voices?😮

    That's one of the reasons Phyllis Coates quit. She thought that a reporter as clever and smart as Lois Lane should be able to figure out Clark was Superman. But the producer said no. Also if there is a Superman And Superboy comic book, why can't anyone in the series or for that matter anyone just pick up the comic and find out Clark was Superman? Another blunder you missed, in the Adventures of Superman, Clark starts his crime fighting career as a man, not as a boy. So how can there be a Superboy comic? And for that matter, why if he had these powers did he wait until he was grown to start his career as Superman? 😮

My guess on using the weed burner was always that the window was close enough to the kryptonite that his super powers, heat vision in this instance, were weakened. Not explained as such in this instance, but intuitively makes sense, given the effects of kryptonite in other episodes.

    I thought the kryptonite was continently put next to Jimmies feet and have a fire place right next to them so he could kicking it into the fire place. Good job Jimmy

    The first love of my life was Noel Neill as Lois Lane-but one thing I did not notice as a boy was how voluptuous she is, e.g., in "The Tomb of Zaharan" (S5E4) you can see what magnificent hips, etc., she has, and indeed, there are photographs in which she shows her derrière to the camera. Fun fact: her pin-ups were second in WWII after Betty Grable's!

    You know I only saw these brief fractional seconds of your caveman comic here.... and it made me laugh... perhaps a more reminiscent moment in my mind; but it angers me that our children are being exposed to garbage cartoons and comics vs the old silly (yes at times overly violent if acted in the real world); but that was the thing... we as kids understood the difference. Well most of the time (yes I did put on a sheet and jumped off my roof once or twice. LOL

    I was only able to watch the reruns in the 60s, if the atmospheric conditions were right for our antenna to pick up the weak signal from New Orleans. I knew it wasn't real but it was As real As I needed it to be. As far as using the flame thrower, someone may have already mentioned this, but perhaps they couldn't get the heat vision special effects ready in time. It's not like today when they can just whip up the desired effects on a computer in a couple of minutes.

    You gotta take the glasses thing with a grain of salt. It's been explained that it's more than just glasses (though they abandoned the "super hypnotism" explanation long ago). People don't expect Superman to be a normal guy walking around. They see him as bigger than life. Dressed as Clark and being casual and easy-going, people think Clark is just someone who maybe looks a bit like Superman and don't see him as Superman. Henry Cavill once asked people in NYC for directions, and nobody recognized him as the actor playing Superman.... while he was standing directly under a giant billboard with him as Superman on it! Out of context, people don't recognize others, like when you see someone from work in a mall and have to think real hard of where you know them from.

      Well, as far as continuity goes I think I like the comics explanation of the 70's that it's super hypnosis, but as far as noticing it on TV that could be my parents fault. Seems like they always brought it up now that I think about it.😀 i wonder if they'll address it on the new movie coming out. I can definitely see strangers not recognizing him, it's just the people he works with that strains the imagination just a bit.

      @@tvcrazyman LOL. Yeah. Gal Gadot was pure perfection. But Ben Affleck as Batman was a stretch. Still, it was a funny story from him. He was recording himself and panned the camera up. It was something like Times Square, so the photo of him was like five stories tall, head shot, Superman costume very clear... and he was standing right there with movie posters around. LOL. In the "Superman Returns" movie, Lois and her boyfriend were looking at Clark wondering if it was possible he was Superman, and Clark heard them wondering. He put on a goofy look and gave them a nerdy wave, and yeah.... even knowing he was Superman I'd probably dismiss it as too unreasonable. hahahahaha

Keep up the good work -- i'm probably the ONLY human being who has watched every episode more times than you my friend, speaking of the 6 seasons of Superman here. Hell I'm in my 60s -- i've had more opportunities. One more thing , Because of your videos Tim --- I bought Superman #83 at the last comicon in Toronto.

      Thanks, I collect mostly old Marvel and DC comics, and more DC than anything because of my interest in Superman comics, but the only thing left for me with Superman comics is the really old stuff and that's getting hard to find and more expensive. Lately, I have also started collecting more old TV comics, Tarzan, and Turok Son of Stone comics from the 60's and 70's.

I've done over 200 comicons, and even if you have all the money in the world, those golden age Superman & Batman are getting more & more difficult to come by. Just a quicki- when I was 9 years old in 1970 I went to my public school "White Elephant Sale"(hey thats what they were called). I bought 3 comics for 15 cents. They were the Amazing Spider-Man #1 &6 and the incredible Hulk #4. In 2008 I sent them all to CGC. They came back ,Spidey #1 -7.0 #6-a 6.0 , and Hulk 5.5.....not bad- some 38 years later....Sold the #1 eventually......bad mistake.

    Why would the extended periscope be underwater. That's not how they work. I'll agree with you that unless Supes is using ventriloquism, the bad gay couldn't hear him. As far as the kryptonite, it came from krypton so, it would be indestructible like the blankets. Also, in the scene Supes couldn't break the window because the rock made him too weak.
