New Adventures of Superman, The: The Complete Second & Third Seasons

It was delivered today and I am going to enjoy this for a very long time thanks again and it came on time and my experience on here was very good

Remember watching this when got home from school. Was always my favorite superman cartoon. Still a blast to watch and brings back fond memories!

This: the New Adventures of Superman: seasons 2 and 3, are MUCH better quality!

Glad to have this on dvd and this brings back childhood memories when you seen this on morning cartoons. Superman here is the on the go saving everyone and just being the man of steel that he is supposed to be! This Superman is better than his Super Friends version cause you get to see his alter ego Clark Kent in very episode. Buy this and enjoy!

Filmation's Superman cartoon series ran three seasons and remained enormously entertaining, combining enjoyable visuals and character designs with the superb voice cast of Bud Collyer, Jackson Beck, Jack Grimes, and company, the potent scores of John Gart - aka John Marion - and Gordon Zahler, and respectable scripts, primarily by DC Comics writer George Kashdan and Filmation staff writer Oscar Bensol.When the series aired as part of a one-hour format with Filmation's version of Batman, the format changed to two-part cliffhanger stories, the best of which are "Luthor's Lethal Laser," "Can a Luthor Change His Spots?" and "Rain Of Iron." The character designs also changed, acquiring are harder edge and becoming part of Filmation's template for the time.If there are nits to pick, they lay in that the animation can at times be frustrating, and also Hal Sutherland's direction in the 1968 entries at times seems choppy. Overall these do no detract from the overall quality of the series.

Continuing the New Adventures of Superman episodes, Season 2 & 3 presents the second set of 1960s Superman TV cartoons. Filmation does a nice job remaining faithful to the source material (comic books of the time) and the stories are action packed. The animators knew the DC Comics utilizing villains such as Brainiac quite similarly to how he appeared in the magazines and used other innovations of the time such as portraying Jimmy Olsen and Lois as more adventurous than just involved bystanders. The studio made a lot of these for CBS around 1965 and 1968, anyone interested in the history of the character will seriously enjoy these discs.

As a kid I used to watch these cartoons without fail every Saturday morning while they ran on CBS. So seeing them now for me is a real treat. Season 3 you will see that Superman will fly in the air a little different and the episodes are divided into Part 1 & 2 short segments. It also introduced the Jimmy Olsen signal watch in more use during the episodes. I will still take the better looking old school animation over the Japanese animation (which looks cheaper in my opinion) any day that was used to make these cartoons.

classic 60s television. Yes, it is cheap animation. There are cheesy stories here. It was made for children at a time when TV was not allowed to have any kind of violent stories at all. But it is definitely family friendly. Superman is voiced by Bud Collier who voiced him on radio in the 1940s. You do need to know what you are buying. It is nothing like the newer episodes you see now. But it is very family friendly and little children will probably like this series as well as baby boomers like me who remember it from childhood.

Delighted, this is what I thought it was. Is it a bird, is it a plane!

This is the second volume of the animated cartoon series of the New Adventures of Superman. This was produced by the Filmation Studio and was one of their better if earlier efforts. It comprises both the 2nd and 3rd season of the show without the the Superboy shorts. The season 2 episodes are each standalone shorts, like the episodes aired in the 1st season. However the episodes in the 3rd season, on the 2nd of 2 disks are two parters.The story quality in season two is still good but I thought the 2 parters in season 3 were mostly weaker, often because they rely on Lex Luthors schemes all too often. There are better shows though like the Mr Mist story. Also both the disks feature a lot of digital noise which shows up clearly because of the animation style.

I know these cartoons are from 1966-67 and dated by today's standards however I watched them as a kid and I enjoyed watching them again now. Early and mid 60's were the height of Superman in the comics and this show reflected that. Bud Collyer is great as Clark Kent/ Superman and all the characters and villains are there that you know and love/hate.definatly worth a watch for nostalgia or if you are a big superman fan.

Very happy with my purchase, best tv series I’ve brought

Anything with superman is awesome. But on a side note i grew up watching this show religiously and it was great to watch it once again. Nostalgia at its best
