The Adventures of Superboy
This TV series was based on the teenage Clark Kent attending college while trying to sweep Lana Lang off her feet. Though you might think it is similar to the current Superman incarnation 'Smallville' but this series also followed the teenage years of Superman himself (Dubbed at this point 'the Boy of Steel')

Perfect
"Personal favorite"
This show not only brings back my childhood, but reinforces my belief a man can fly. yea season one was a little cheesy but after that, it was amazing what they were doing and this was the early 90's. I got hooked, if only the other seasons would come out
