August 9, 2004: Reminder - "Superheroes on Television" Symposium

A few fans have emailed in letting us know of huge George Reeves Superman banners hanging outside the Museum of Television & Radio on West 52nd Street in New York. The banners are promoting the "Superheroes on Television" Symposium which began on June 18th and runs until October 10th 2004.

The Museum of Television & Radio "Superheroes on Television" exhibition is on display at both their L.A. and New York locations. Here are the details again:

Los Angeles: Wednesdays to Sundays at 1:00 p.m.
New York: Tuesdays to Sundays at 4:00 p.m.

Superheroes - larger-than-life champions locked in eternal struggle against the forces of evil - are part and parcel of American popular culture. Ever since the first appearance of Superman in Action Comics established the comic book (traditionally a collection of repackaged newspaper strips) as a viable artistic entity in its own right, the spectacle of superpowered "long underwear" vigilantes has resonated with audiences of all ages and inspired debate and analysis in the halls of academe. The television superhero, descended from comic books and movie serials, has evolved in all sorts of unexpected directions, offering fantastic adventure and spectacle for audiences of every taste.

Visit the Museum of Television and Radio website for location information and contact details.
