Never seen it or even heard of it but i'm a huge superman fan so i'll definitely give it a chance.

...The late 80s series?? I LOVED That show.

I'm definetley picking this one up.

smallville isn't all that bad. in fact I live in the town that it is filmed in. Cloverdale bc is where it's filmed mostly.

If you go to the town cetnre and see the banner, you will see "Home of smallville"

The reason Superboy was such a great show, was because it was written by actual DC Comic writers.

Smallville could really use that sometimes.

And I want to tell you I dont' care , stick with the thread subject, that comment was an off the fly remark.

If it helps, Jeph Loeb worked on Smallville for a while prior to his sons' death

You're quite right however on Superboys' superiority having everything to do with the glory of having Dennis O'Neil work on it, "Roads Taken" was a quality story

[Mandi-chan]

I never heard of this either...

I had heard of a Superboy cartoon (remember seeing it on Boomerang when I was a kid), so I assumed it was the same thing.

I'll have to check this out.

Actually. yeah I'm very Dennis O'Neil biased. He's a great writer.

[VaughnMichael]

I kinda find it funny that the character was erased 3 years eariler from DC continuity. I kinda like Smallville, but, I'd gladly give another young Clark show a try. The thing that draws me to Smallville is (or should I say was) Clarks relationship with his parents and the way it sheped the hero he will become. No that they killed off Jonathan, I wonder where the shaping of superman will go, but I digress. What did make this show great? Was it characters? Plots? Stories? I'd like to know, before I make the "This is Better Than That" remarks. It's like the TMNT toons, I like both for entirely diffrent reasons, and they both are entertaining to me. Maybe Superboy and Smallvile are just to diffrent yet equal tellings of the same mythos.

Superboys' strengths were the way it handled its' storylines, they were among some of the best written for a Superman series, when the third season starts up, stories like "Roads Taken" explores Superboys from different realitys, including one where he killed Lex Luthor by splitting him in half with heat vision, one other gem includes an episode where Clark enters Luthors' mind and discovers his tragic origins whilst Luthor goes insane and tries to destroy the planet.

As Kitty demonstrated, several comic writers worked on it, yeah the budget was almost non-existant, but thats' the same as saying He-Man, one of the greatest written cartoons period, had quality animation that never repeated itself.

From Kryptonsite

The third season of Lois & Clark is one of FIVE Superman-related TV show DVD's due to be released by Warner Home Video on June 20, 2006.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman: The Complete Third Season picks up where the Season Two DVD left off - Clark has proposed to Lois Lane and she has a shocking surprise for him. Season 3 features return appearances by John Shea as Lex Luthor and Lane Davies as Tempus, among others.

We have learned that Dean Cain has recorded an interview for the DVD and he'll look quite different - he had bleached blond hair at the time! We imagine there will be commentary tracks announced momentarily as well.

But that's not all! Seasons 3 and 4 of The Adventures of Superman will be released on that same day, June 20, in a two-season set... in their original color presentation. New volumes of the Superman animated series and the Justice League animated series are coming too.

The final set to be released on June 20 is long-awaited... Season One of the late 1980's syndicated Superboy television series, which has not been seen in American syndication in over 10 years. Superboy Season One featured a very different Clark Kent's college days, with John Haymes-Newton as Clark Kent/Superboy and Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang. Some episodes were directed by David Nutter, who directed Smallville's pilot.

Superboy season one will also have extras, sweet.
