- Welcome to Gone But Not Forgotten, where we take a look at old TV shows that left a mark on our childhood's, but tend to get lost in the shuffle of nostalgia. For our first episode we take a look at Superboy, which ran for four seasons, airing from 1988 - 1992 on CBS. Starring Gerard Christopher as the "Boy of Steel" (who replaced the first season lead, John Haymes Newton), the show also featured Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang, Sherman Howard as Lex Luthor and a healthy dose of guest stars, including IIan Michael Thomas, George Lazenby, Gilbert Gottfried, Ilan Mitchell-Smith and even a young Joaquin Phoenix!

What an interesting video talking about a forgotten series
Superboy was so fun! It was definitely a comic book of the era come to life. There was a 22-issue DC comic book based on the TV show. It was my favorite from childhood, and I was so mad when they canceled it. It's great to see more videos showcasing Superboy! Season 3 was my favorite. But all the seasons had their episode gems. I wish they would've made a Superboy tie-in movie. I heard there were talks about it. Gerard Christopher became a producer on the show, and for a time, he sold VHS through his old website. It's a shame WB did not put special features on Seasons 2-4! What a wasted opportunity.
It got sabotaged because Warner Bros. didn't like not having any control over the show, and they were as sick and tired of the Salkinds as everyone else was?
Yes, admittedly, the special effects really aged badly, but it was the first live-action Super "man" project that adapted more of Superman's traditional villains and not just Lex Luthor. And I thought the casting was pretty good (though it took me a while to accept Michael J Pollard as Mxyzptlk). Sherman Howard was pretty good as Lex, though nowadays I keep hearing Clancy Brown's voice when I see Lex.
I didn't mind John Haymes Newton's take on Superman, even if it didn't exactly fit my view of Superboy - but I agree that Gerald Christopher was better cast since he was a little closer to Christopher Reeve. It always amazed me that he was actually 30 when he took on the role because I never thought he looked it.
And Stacy Haiduk was cute enough to keep us watching. Honestly, I preferred Superboy over Smallville, which I found pretentious and repetitive. All and all, Superboy was worth watching for at least a few episodes.
