Schedule Very often, those involved with the first season of the Adventures of Superman marveled at the speed those episodes were done, and they mentioned that it was difficult to keep track of what they were doing on any particular day. The following schedule is based on the cast sheets given to me by George Reeves’ manager, Art Weissman. Thinking it might be interesting to see a more precise “picture” of how the season played out, I created a day-by-day list of the order individual episodes were filmed. Superman and the Mole-Men began filming on July 10, 1951 and continued through July 21. They worked six days each week. Then, with just one day off, Sunday, July 22, the cast and crew began working on the twenty-four episodes that would comprise the first season. Episodes were shot at the RKO-Pathé and Hal Roach Studios and on their respective back lots with much, if not most, of the work completed on the RKO back lot known as Forty Acres. So… below is how the summer of 1951 looked to George Reeves.
