The Museum of Television and Radio will be holding a "Superheroes on Television" exhibition from June 18 to October 10, 2004 at both their L.A. and New York locations. Here are the details:

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.
