As I've mentioned plenty of times throughout here, my family and I spent a lot of our summers in North Carolina. One of the may things we would do is spend time at the Recreation Park in Asheville. Now, I'm not one for the water, also noted in plenty of places throughout here, but there were not only other fun things to do there, quite often it meant that I could watch a little TV when I got back to Nona's house.
For some odd reason, I don't remember missing TV all that much when we were there- maybe Mom remembers it differently. But even if you wanted to watch TV, I think my grandmother got like one station, this being in the mountains and in the days before cable and all.
The one and only show I remember watching was "The Adventures of Superman". This was the show with the real Superman, George Reeves, not some of those pretty by wanna be's that came along later (not that George wasn't pretty).
I remember being totally enthralled with the show, particularly the parts where he was either flying, staring to fly, or landing- the rest was pretty much filler. The only thing better were the Fleischer cartoons- also written about elsewhere.
Below, in an effort to share a little of that magic, is the first episode of the series. Enjot.
