Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off, I've never been "the first" to review a DVD on Amazon, so let me just say I'm thrilled. And, since today is July 7 and this DVD isn't even going to be released until October 18, I'm going to stick to some general thoughts on the show and share some information on what I have read pertaining to the bonus items to be included. For those who don't know, this is the first season of the television program the Adventures of Superman which debuted in 1952. This season features Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane - she would be replaced by Noel Neill in the later seasons. (Neill played Lois in the Superman movie serials.) This first season is highly regarded among fans of the show, and was much more gritty or realistic than subsequent seasons. As for completeness, we'll all just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope the shows are released in their uncut versions - close to 27 minutes each! Here's what I've seen printed elsewhere regarding the contents : Disc 1 "Superman on Earth" "The Haunted Lighthouse" "The Case of the Talkative Dummy" "The Mystery of the Broken Statues" "The Monkey Mystery" "A Night of Terror" Disc 2 "The Birthday Letter" "The Mind Machine" "Rescue" "The Secret of Superman" "No Holds Barred" "The Deserted Village" Disc 3 "The Stolen Costume" "Treasure of the Incas" "Double Trouble" "Mystery in Wax" "The Runaway Robot" "Drums of Death" Disc 4 "The Evil Three" "Riddle of the Chinese Jade" "The Human Bomb" "Czar of the Underworld" "The Ghost Wolf" "Crime Wave" Disc 5 "Unknown People, Part 1" "Unknown People, Part 2" And special features should be: Superman and the Mole Men theatrical movie (Reeves and Coates' first team-up) Featurette: "From Inkwell to Backlot" retrospective Vintage George Reeves short Original Kellogg's Cereal TV spots Commentary Tracks by Super-Experts (details to be announced) I'm giving the release 5 stars based strictly on the fact that the series is finally being released and the hope that the DVD set will surpass all our expectations.
