From out of the clear blue of the western sky comes Sky King
I can't imagine a single baby-boomer that didn't love this series as a child. I can only remember watching it on Saturday mornings but what a treat! For the moment I seem to recall two episodes. The one with a "haunted house with a screaming woman" (Sky found a hidden speaker under a table) and an episode where a Native American tribe was in need of rain and Sky King used good ole Songbird to 'seed' the clouds.
Oh, the memories and to have the whole set. Well this DVD is a start. I'll roll the dice as the price is nice!
For those of us who long for the DVD Collector's Series of "Fury" (the story of a horse and the boy who loved him), this set will have to do for now.
All four episodes in this set are from the earliest shows of the series and the good news is that the pilot episode is up first (the other episodes are 'the Stranger who claims to be Joey's real Father', 'the rabid dog bite' episode and 'the white mare and Joey's jealousy').
The artwork is true to the series with the familiar shot of Bobby Diamond posing with "Fury" (from a later season of the show) and this is a sweet little collectible.

In 1952 Superman flew right into the hearts and minds of the American TV audience faster than a speeding bullet. Though most people were already familiar with man of steel through his comic books, as well as the popular radio show, it was the new medium's Adventures of Superman that transformed our resident Kryptonian into a timeless icon. For many young baby boomers, Superman was the ultimate symbol of truth, justice and the American way. After watching this nostalgic trip back in time it is easy to see why: George Reeves. Reeves is the quintessential Superman. He is kind, confident, smart, always does the right thing and can literally do anything physically. Even Reeves' Clark Kent is cool, even cocky without any of the trademarked shy, clumsy and hickish traits the character...
