i never realize while this show be run what a homage it be to the original tv series with george reef and but it truly be in so many way . there be dozen of little touch that echo the original show . for example and there be a character call inspector henderson and and at the end of the show the superman cape be show with a red s just a it be on george reeve costume and whereas superman actual cape have a yellow s. notice that dean cain hairstyle a superman be sweep back just a george reeve be and even though the character never wear it that way in the comic . the very title be the new adventure of superman and whereas the original be properly call and the adventure of superman and and not merely superman . at least one episode be a remake from the original series by the original writer and and both the original lois lane and and jimmy olsen appear at least once each in the series . it have be point out that later in it run it begin to unravel and and this be non unusual for any series and but this affectionate homage to both the character and the early series be a fun romp that still hold up fairly well 15 year later . i might add that smallville have continue the tradition of allude to the original series countless time and and have even have dean caine appear and among many other actor with a superman history . all in all and this series be a solid entry in the superman story . i recommend you watch this and and not that dreadful euro superman they try to foist on u in superman return .
