Have you ever seen Lois Lane, Perry White and Jimmy Olsen dressed as cavemen living 50,000 years ago? Well, you can see it in this episode: a landmark one in that it's the first one in Season Three which marked the beginning of this TV program being shown in color.
It's nice color, too, showing Superman's outfit in all it's red-and-blue splendor. Also shown were Lois Lane (Noel Neill)'s figure in a revealing outfit. She had a nice pair of legs, as it turns out. How did they all get in this predicament?? Well, none other than the work of "Professor Twiddle" (Sterling Holloway.....who else?), who tries out his time machine and sends everyone back in time 50,000 years. Included in that group is Clark Kent (who wouldn't wear the caveman outfit) and a crook "Turk Jackson" (James Hyland) who thinks he's figured a way out of getting out of a long jail sentence.
This episode has to be seen to be believed. Two actual cavemen enter. They look like your Aunt Edna and Uncle Charlie. Almost all the scenes are from a paper-like cave. We don't see too much else. This isn't exactly Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park." On the budget allowed on this series, we are lucky we saw the fake cave. Anyway, all of the parties return safely to 1954, thanks to Superman, of course.
Actually, this was a fun episode to start the new, colorful season. It's always fun to see Holloway in his usual mad-but-harmless scientist role, even if he has different names each time.
