November 7, 2000: Proposed Variety ad for July, 2001

In his article, "Superman Comes to Television" first published in The Adventures Continue #14, (Summer 1997), Michael J. Hayde gives a detailed account of how the Superman television series came to be. On June 25, George Reeves signed his contract, and on July 10, filming began on Superman and the Mole-Men. The fifty-nine minute film took just eleven days to complete, and after just a weekend's rest, all again assembled on Monday morning to begin the Adventures of Superman!

So, July 2001 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the first season of Superman. To commemorate this important time, Jim Nolt is proposing a full-page ad in Daily Variety similar to the ones published in 1989 and 1999 to remember George Reeves. Only this time, the ad will pay tribute to the series itself and everyone who helped make it a success.

Each contributor's name will be listed on Jim's web page and in the ad.
