The New Adventures of Superman was very popular as Saturday morning program. Many comic book writers of DC Comics worked on the series, including George Kashdan. Many of the characters were in appearance identical to their comic versions. The series marked the animation debut of Jimmy Olsen and classic superman villainsLex Luthor, The Toyman, and Brainiac. Because of budget restrictions were often the same images used by Superman who flew or omkleedde by Clark to superman.

Executive producer Lou Scheimer recruited Bud Collyer and Joan Alexander, both of whom had worked on the Superman Cartoons, for the voices of the characters. Collyer paste in this series the same voting technique as in the cartoons: for Clark he used a some lighter and nervous voice and for Superman a dark voice.

Despite the success the series got criticism of the Action for children's Television, an organization founded in 1968 to the quality of television programmes aimed at children. This is because the series much "violence" as superman that contained an enemy hit with his fists. As a result, the series was soon discontinued.

Superman soon popped up again on itself in the series Super Friends from 1973. ==Cast[ Edit] == ==Episodes<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Season 1 (1966 – 1967)<span class="mw-editsection" len="374" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The show debuted as a 30 minute program.
