Superboy makes a statement

This first season tries really hard to be important and have a message.  It got a little too much at times, and bordered on Afternoon Special messaging.  The first season of the show is a little rough, with Superboy fighting crooked beauty pageant promoters, gangsters and Lex Luthor being normal.  Mr. Mxyzptlk shows up once, and we get a few aliens and robots.  Those appearances make the episodes more special, but it makes the other episodes ever so dull.  I like the cast, but I think the second season is going to be better.  They replaced most of the principle cast.

It is a fun show, and I miss half hour adventure series like this.  Of course, the episodes are only about 22 minutes long which makes them zip by in a hurry.  I do like James Newton, but those giant glasses gotta go.
