i used to watch this when i was a kid about 6 or 7 so i haven't seen it in about 20 years and id forgotten all the details so watching it again was like watching it for the first time and i was impressed at how well it holds up it's a lot better then arrow or the flash and it made me really nostalgic i got all misty eyed, i did get a bit angry at how they ended it on a cliffhanger though.
shareI feel the same about the Bill Bixby Incredible Hulk's. It's basically a kid's show but Bixby was so well cast he brought alot of emotional weight. Still moves me.
sharethis show's first season got me through a very rough senior year in high school.
and amazingly... when I went to college, I struck up a friendship with -- get this -- someone who was on the crew of the show!!! I was enthralled!
it was a little weird that she was there of all places, considering I went to a small, Lutheran college in NEW YORK! she told me the REAL reason the first jimmy was replaced [wanted too much money], and that dean was a sweetheart, as was john shea but teri was an uberbitch.
OH THANK YOU GOD! THANK YOU SO BLOODY MUCH!!! Basil Fawlty
i preferred the second jimmy anyway :)
Never, never to be squandered...the miracle of another human being.
really? I always liked the first jimmy but the second jimmy DID bring a certain JNSQ to the show that the other one didn't or couldn't [cause he wasn't allowed to.]
Jimmy was supposed to be a whiz at computers and the only thing that Michael lands had that the character was supposed to have the superman watch [like the batman light in the sky but in a audio form for the Supe] and he had it in one episode!
and jimmy was supposed to be almost a kid. when Michael got the role he was 20 but he looked and portrayed older -- which was fine. I mean, I looked old enough to drink when I was 15!
and with that came the cocksure self of his character. he was supposed to be this doe eyed kid who is into computers.

Well being 20 is a kid. Now I sure didn't think that when I was a kid in 1993. I thought 20 was young but a bit older. I actually think Jimmy Olsen being 20 makes far more sense then him being 17 or 18.
Either way, the various Jimmy Olsen's through the years have always been played differently. The only ones that kinda seem the same are the one from the 1950s George Reeves Superman TV show and then the late 70s/early 80s Christopher Reeve Superman movies. They seemed to deliberately make the Jimmy in the movies the same as the one from the 1950s TV show. i.e., "gosh golly gee Mr. Kent"
@manth_sigdaw - just how did your post wind up as most current and yet, the date on which you posted is about a month younger than the three posts directly before yours?!?!?!?
It depends on who you click reply on.
watch...
Reading the paper can really be depressing. Mr. Dithers fired Dagwood again.
see?
have your thread display mode in 'your boards profile' page as NESTED.
then the posts fall to the person they are responding to.
I find it makes it easier to follow a conversation or side comment to a poster.

Thanks for the info!
It does bring back good memories.
This show is still better than stuff like Supergirl today and that says a lot about Supergirl's quality.
