    Surely nobody is taking this seriously, not writer Fred Freiberger, director Reza Badiyi or any of the cast in the first episode, which has that square-peg Superboy foiling Lex's insidious plan to steal the coveted Jewel of Techacal from Lana's archeologist father...But the tongue-in-cheek intent is never quite realized, and falls even flatter in a future episode made available by the production company.

    For those of you who want an interpretation of the Superboy character that isn't as "down on the farm" as Smallville, this show is for you.For those of you who want an interpretation of the Superboy character that isn't as "down on the farm" as Smallville, this show is for you. However, one large caveat exists: Stay away from the first season! The special effects are never spectacular, the plots are more often then not boring, and the acting is sub-par. While Stacy Haiduk plays a great Lana Lang, John Newton's Clark/Superboy and Scott Well's Lex Luthor are wooden, one-dimensional characters who do not draw you into the plotlines.

    Obviously, the writers/producers of the show must have felt the same way I do, as after the first season the Clark/Superboy part was recast and given to Gerard Christopher, while Lex Luthor was switched to Sherman Howard, both enormous upgrades. From that point, the show really began to take off.

    My advice, then, is to not waste your time on these episodes. If you are a true Superman fan who has never seen this show before, wait for the release of the second season (whenever that will be...hopefully soon). If you remember being enthralled by this show during your childhood (like I was), it probably wasn't this season you remembered in the first place.    … Full Review »
