[edit] re: The series' demise
Has it been verified in any place other than internet articles that a 5th and 6th season was planned? I have a memory of something the editor wrote in "The Adventures of Superboy" companion comic (the comic was constantly in communication with the show's production staff). If memory serves, they knew at the beginning of the fourth season that it was going to end with the 100th episode and start a syndication run after that.
Also, I remember reading that Warner Bros. put a lien on the series during its syndication run the year after it went off the air, not while it was still in production. This would make more sense if it is true that Warner Bros. didn't want Superboy to run concurrently with Lois & Clark, as Lois & Clark wasn't picked up by ABC until nearly a year after Superboy was completed.
[edit] Citations needed
Although there is a list of references, a couple of statements need to have direct citations, such as the "traffic violations" that apparently led to the lead actor quitting. 23skidoo 02:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- well, i've heard 2 different stories. the dui one and the one newton himself claims (http://www.supermanhomepage.com/tv/tv.php?topic=cast-crew/john-h-newton) that he asked for more money and wasn't comfortable with cranes used for the flying. i did a google search for his name and DUIs but at first glance only found this wikipedia page (though i do remember a magazine from 1992 talking about the dui). the only definitive thing i could find was this interview of him.
I personally am not going to change it because i'm not certain, i would suggest saying that the reason is unclear and giving both for fairness sake (clearly saying its disputed). Spookyadler 17:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GCSboyvideo1.jpg
Image:GCSboyvideo1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:00, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
