Pirates vs. Blue Jays, bottom of seventh

Matt Capps on to pitch for the Pirates with Toronto ahead 2-0.
Anyone seen Hollywoodland, the great movie about the mysterious death of Superman television actor George Reeves? They made 104 episodes of the show, which -- like the Flintstones -- apparently is not in syndication at this time.
The two Lois Lanes were actresses Phyllis Coates and Noel Neill, who wrote an enlightening autobiography a few years back.
Here, in no particular order, are my favorite episodes of The Adventures of Superman:
Superman on Earth; The Unknown People (two parts); The Evil Three; The Stolen Costume; Around the World with Superman; Joey; Panic in the Sky; The Haunted Lighthouse; and the one in which Perry White nearly gets ground up by the power saw before Superman arrives to ruin the bad guys' of world domination.
Really, I'm older than I look, though not as old as Professor Pepperwinkle.
