Superman (1950's series)

[Tim]

Yeah, there are still some around who remember the 50's show.

[DC Fanatic]

Yeah, that's true. I have an aunt, who was around to see it as a child. She was born in 1946.

[Melinda Halliwell]

Oh, my late dad was born in the same year as your aunt then.

[Dark Avenger]

Same with my uncle, he was born in 1946.

But most children born after the WWII, would be old enough to see this series as a child. Of course, they'd see this in the original black and white.

The thing this show is most known for know is the mysterious death of its star, George Reeves, in 1959.  It is still debated as to whether he committed suicide or was murdered.

I wonder what really happened.

[Tim]

No one knows for sure.  All that were present are now dead.

[DC Fanatic]

A mystery that may never be answered sadly.

Legend has it that the ghost of George Reeves haunts the house.  Some have claimed to see him dressed in his Superman costume and holding a gun.  Perhaps he's trying to tell us something.

That is creepy to think about, but maybe he is telling us something.

Some have wondered if there is any connection between George Reeves and Christopher Reeve.  There isn't, despite the similarity of their last names.

"Reeves" was not George's actual last name, he was born George Keefer Brewer.
