Here is an anniversary that, thankfully, is a tad before my time.
Adventures of Superman historian John Field posted this a little while ago on Facebook:
Did you know that this year is the 70th anniversary of Superman having premiered on t.v.?
This predates me by a couple of years, but it is a weird feeling that we're at 70 years since the Adventure of Superman television show starring George Reeves, Phyllis Coates, John Hamilton, Jack Larson and Robert Shayne premiered on television. It took a while for it to get a sponsor (Kellogg's cereals). The first season was filmed in 1951 following the theatrical feature, Superman and the Mole Men.
The only cast member who is still with us is actress Phyllis Coates, who was the first season's Lois Lane.
It would be interesting to see who of us are still around when the show hits 100 years in 2052.
