Back when I was a little whippersnapper, the ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN (1952-1958) would be on uhf channels on Saturday and Sundays back in the 60's and early 70's.  George Reeves is still my favorite Superman. (But I like Christopher Reeves too. Odd- both named Reeves. Both met tragedy.)
I loved Superman! I remember something about a kid putting a towel around his neck and jumping out a window thinking he could fly. Maybe an urban legend?

Heard a similar tale about Pokemon: http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/bashing/russian.html 'There were an accident in USA, in 1997, when a child jumped out of window shouting "I'm Pokemon! I can fly!"'

According to Snopes the Super Man rumor is probably made up: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/superman/ "apocryphal stories of children killing themselves in similar fashion [by leaping from windows] that already been circulating for several years."

Have the 1st two seasons on DVD. A lot of fun, but I rarely get to watch 'em. :(

I used to make my mother make capes for me with blankets and safety pins. I never jumped out a window, though. But when I was 6 I tried to teach my sister how to jump out of a tree without getting hurt . . . and I fractured my wrist.

The b&w eps were better than the later ones.  I think the one with the scientist and the krypronite bullet was maybe the best of the series.

Me and my friend Frankie Marada in Wappinger Falls, NY jumped off a really large pile of lumber in his backyard with umbrellas thinking we would float down like Mary Poppins.
Didn't work.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
