Bring Back Superboy: The TV Series Petition
To: Warner Brothers Television Division
The signers of this petition would like to request that Warner Brothers drop the lien placed on the Superboy TV series that ran from 1988-1992 in syndication. The series starred John Haymes Newton & Gerard Christopher as Superboy and Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang and was at the peak of its popularity when Warner Brothers placed a lien on it, preventing it from being aired in re-runs or released on video or DVD in North America. The show has been off the air for 9 years now and is ripe for rediscovery. The series deserves to be re-aired so that a new generation of fans can see it for the first time and so that old fans can see the series and rediscover it. Removal of the lien would also allow the series to be released on VHS and/or DVD so that fans can enjoy it for many years to come.
"Superboy" aka "The Adventures of Superboy" ran for 4 seasons and ended its run with 100 episodes and has gained a large, loyal fan following. Many fans of Superboy and Superman, however, have never had an opportunity to see the series and if the lien remains, they never will. The popularity of "Superboy" may very well increase this fall when "Smallville" premieres on the WB network. Re-airing "Superboy" during this time would be a great complement to the "Smallville" series.
Re-airing of "Superboy" is not possible until the legal lien placed against it is gone. If you want to see this wonderful series back on the air once again I urge you to sign this petition.(real names only please, no nicknames)
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

I personally enjoyed this series while it was on the air, and was sad to learn that as of right now it will never be seen again in any form. If there is anyone out there who has seen the program and enjoyed it or Superman, I encourage them to sign the petition.
God, I really hate to do that because it seems like selling out, using my blog as an advertising agent. It's a good cause though, so I guess it's not that bad.
