Maybe He Turns Into Superman (Case of the Talkative Dummy) 

Correct they were not trying to be campy. Story lines tried to be more dramatic and serious

Yes she was. The series was a lot more adult oriented in the first season. Wish they continued with that approach, though the remaining seasons were wonderful in their own way.

@@patbyrne3076 So do I , they turned more childish after first two .Of course there still was some great episodes but the first two seasons were hard hitting and the best.

The first two seasons of TAOS were still under the influence of the aftermath of the war, which gave rise to the film noir genre. The stories were dark and crime-heavy; Superman was consequently stern and a no-nonsense agent for law and order. The music was commissioned by producers at Republic Studios for their B movie entries into film noir; it was then recycled into TAOS. It remains some of the most complex and sinister music ever used in television.

The answer to that question requires more space than allotted here. In the early 90s, Paul Mandell wrote an article for Starlog magazine that answers this question. Send me an email at JIMNOLT@YMAIL.COM.

This scenario is a little vague, and we don't have much more than Noel Neill's remembrances to go by, but she said that it was her understanding that Pierre Watkin would place Perry White's brother ... taking over for Perry while he was out of the country on a story. In fact, the whole idea of a 1959 season itself is a little vague. When I spoke with Whit Ellsworth in 1980, he denied that there was to be another season ... and indeed there is no hard evidence to the contrary. No scripts, no contracts ever surfaced (although Jack Larson kept contracts for the other seasons). All that said, Noel Neill and Bob Shayne insisted they were contacted and told when they were expected to begin. And Pat Ellsworth, Whit's daughter, told me that when she first called her father after hearing of George's death said that he had just spoken to George about coming back to work.
