From The TV IV

Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. "Look, up in the sky!" "It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's Superman!" Yes it's Superman, strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steal with his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way.

Adventures of Superman is a superhero drama that aired in syndication. George Reeves starred as Superman, the last son of Krypton. Phyllis Coates played Lois Lane for the first season, but was replaced by Noel Neill for the rest of the run. In the third season the series switched from black and white to color, and was one of the first shows to make the switch.
