- Host Anthony Desiato and guest Lou Koza (author, MISTER REEVES (www.capedwonde...) ) break down "Lady in Black" (Season 2, Episode 23). In this episode of the classic ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN television series starring George Reeves, it appears Jimmy is losing his grip on reality when he encounters noises, characters, and events right out of a mystery novel while house-sitting for his mother's friend. NOTE: The podcast is off next week for the Thanksgiving holiday and will return in two weeks!

One of my favorite of the whole series. Just for its sheer lunacy, and crazy plot. Its easy to see how Jimmy was the Steve Urkel of his day. Poor Jimmy was so unreliable mo one ever believed him. Even though Jimmy didn't really joke around about this kind of stuff.
9.0 out of 10
Like you guest, this episode creeped me out as a kid. Those eyeball paintings were downright scary to an eight-year-old. And it being a "Jimmy" episode made it all the more enjoyable. Written by the great Jackson Gillis, it was a solid mystery for a young audience to chew on with multiple head-scratching moments. The 'bus stop" sequence with the three mysterious characters is one of the finest scenes in the entire series. It conveys confusion--and dread--for the befuddled Jimmy, while simultaneously dishing out enough comedy tp play to Jack Larsen's acting chops.
And, Anthony, please find the time to watch "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein". Not only a great comedy, but it is one of the finest Universal Monster movies of that period. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
And in the spirit of nitpicking: We never question the destruction Superman incurs when smashing through a wall. But crashing through a basement wall--a possible load-bearing wall--might that not have literally brought the house down?
@@JosephPeluso-ce4tm Thanks for sharing your experience with the episode (and the movie recommendation). And yes, a fair architectural point about the wall-smashing!
"Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" will be broadcast on Me-Tv this Saturday night (November 23) at 8:00 EDT.
Is this the only eoisode where Superman uses super breath?
@@kevinmadden1645 I haven’t been keeping a tally, but off the top of my head, I know he just used it a few episodes ago in “Perry White’s Scoop” to blow out the fire in the train at the end.
He used his super breath at the end of the episode "The Face and the Voice" when he blew the gas tank fire on the armored car.
