In episode 151 of the Man of Screen podcast Mike Zummo moves into alternating coverage of the Ruby Spears Superman and Superboy with the first two episodes of the live-action Superboy show produced by the Salkinds.
For our first episode, the introductory episode of Superboy shows us Lana Lang getting a visit from her estranged father. He tries to reach out to her to bridge the gap between himself and her daughter.
Does it work? Will they fix their relationship? What role does Lex Luthor play?
What is the curse behind “The Jewel of Techecal”?
Then, were going to finish this episode off with Superboy dating. Why not? Hes in college. Hes got hormones. Why wouldnt he date in his Clark Kent identity?
But what does this girlfriend say about Clark Kents taste in women? Is she good for him? Is she a spoiled brat? Does she know her fathers a crime boss?
Or is she “A Kind of Princess”?
Next time: Back to Ruby Spears with “The Big Scoop” and “Triple Play” and the Superman Family Album stories “Overnight with the Scouts” and “The Circus”.
