Who do you think Bush will nominate, now that Miers was removed her nomination?

The original tv show really sucked, it's not even worth anyone's time to watch this, those are hours we can get back, when we could be doing something more worth while like watching paint dry. Any episode of the current Smallville on WB is far better than this old tv show and the Reeves movies combined.

Replace Miers? Disgraced mayor and former judge Dick Murphy of San Diego with be W's next pick.

Now, about the DVD set... it's about time. This was a great moment of many children's lives. This is Superman. In my view anyway. I never took to Chris Reeve. Too effeminate as Supes and too bumbling as Kent.

Someone else mentioned Smallville? Give me a break.

I saw an interview with the Second LL, Noelle Nell(?) a few years back. She was explaining why the original Superman (Not George Reeves, the other guy with darker hair) had better take-off and landing scenes then George Reeves.

Reeves didn't like the wires, didn't like to run, wasn't a good jumper and all in all just not as athletic as the first guy.

But nobody could take a bullet to the chest with a digusted facial expression like George! :-)

Isn't that the Superman who would duck when you threw the revolver at him after bouncing six bullets off his chest?

Classic stuff, second only to the Fleischer animated version IMHO. God rest George Reeves' soul.

Yep! That's her, Phyllis Coates. She was just as sharp tongued in Panther Girl as she was as LL.

Good catch. Oh, had to invite a couple friends over.

ELAINE
Bizarro Jerry?

JERRY
Yeah. Like Bizarro Superman. Superman's exact opposite, who lives in the backwards bizarro world. Up is Down. Down is Up. He says "Hello" when he leaves, "Good bye" when he arrives.

ELAINE
[pause] Shouldn't he say "Bad bye"? Isn't that the, opposite of "Good bye"?

JERRY
No. It's still a good-bye.

ELAINE
Uh. Does he live underwater?

JERRY
No.

ELAINE
Is he black..

JERRY
Look. Just, forget it, all right?
