For the 1966 animated series, see The Adventures of Superboy (animated series)

This pilot, which never aired on TV, was meant to capitalize on the success of Adventures of Superman, which was cancelled following the death of George Reeves. It featured the first non-comic book portrayals ever of Superboy and Lana Lang. It is thus a foreunner of later series Superboy, which lasted 4 seasons and Smallville, currently in its 6th.

Though the show never aired it became available through home video and the internet.

It starred Johnny Rockwell as Superboy / Clark Kent and Bunny Henning as Lana Lang.

A short clip of this pilot can be seen in the documentary "Look, Up In The Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman" [1].
