In episode 149 of the man of Screen Podcast, Mike Zummo begins a new era of the show.
With the new year, coverage goes into 1988 and so begins coverage of two knew shows that need coverage. The short-lived and highly underrated Ruby Spears Superman show and that will be staggered with the first season of “The Adventures of Superboy.”
But first, the animated show.
Coverage will begin with the first onscreen appearance of businessman Lex Luthor as he tries to make Superman redundant in “Destroy the Defendroids.”
Then, in the backup feature, the “Kent Family Album”, we will see how little Clark came to live with the Kents in “The Adoption.”
Then we’ll close out the show with some aliens that are woken up from a deep sleep. One is evil and the other is not. How can we tell? Who is hiding the eggs? Doesn’t that only happen on Easter?
Who is the “Fugitive from Space”?
And then Martha Kent and Clark are going to do something mundane but since Clark is with her, then it isn’t going to be as mundane as it should.
Find out what happens when Clark and his mom go to “The Supermarket”.
Next time: Two more episodes of Ruby Spears Superman: By the Skin of the Dragons’ Teeth and Cybron Strikes” and the Kent Family Album stories, “At the Babysitter’s” and “The First Day of School.”
