Something Super Airs On CBS Tonight

Before there was Supergirl, before Smallville, before Lois & Clark and the Christopher Reeve movies… there was the Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves, and during the years that he played the Man of Steel, Reeves made a guest appearance in character as Superman on the TV classic I Love Lucy.

Tonight, May 17 at 8PM, CBS is airing an I Love Lucy special featuring a colorized version of that classic episode “Lucy And Superman.” Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll run a Supergirl trailer while they’re at it, since they’ll have a Kryptonian on their network every week soon enough.

You can read more details about the special here.
