Superboy
Superboy was a half-hour live-action television series based on the fictional DC Comics comic book character.The show ran from 1988-1992 in syndication. It was renamed The Adventures of Superboy at the start of the third season.
This series and the release of the 1988 Superman animated series on CBS coincided with the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Superman character that year.
This version featured Clark Kent/Superboy in college at Shuster University in Siegelville, Florida and At first, much of the action centered around stories that Clark and T.J. reported on for the college newspaper, the Shuster Herald
The fourth season was the series' last. A finale for the fourth season was filmed in which Superboy died at the hands of Luthor. The episode was intended to end on a cliffhanger, with the story being resolved in a series of TV movies.
I first watched this series growing up in the 80's - I was eight years old when it premiered in syndication. To me, it is *the* definitive version of Superman/Superboy.
Looking back on it, nearly 20 years later, it hasn't held up as well as I remember it - but, it still gets five stars for pure nostalgia reasons.
