Superboyhomepage.com went live on March 10th, and is trying to rally fans "to submit...flyers and postcards to the top heads and executives at Warner Bros Studios in the hopes of convincing them to release" Seasons Two through Four of the cult classic live-action TV series
Superboy on DVD.
The new site features a brand new message board, plus an announcement about plans for an online petition to go up the week of March 17th.
The 1988-92 syndicated series
Superboy was the brain child of
Ilya Salkind, who, with his father
Alexander, produced the first three
Superman movies and 1984's
Supergirl.
Between 1992 and 2006, the only way to see
Superboy in the U.S. was on bootleg VHS cassettes and DVDs sold online. In 1999, actor
Gerard Christopher began offering VHS tapes of the series created from the master tapes of episodes in which he starred. Video tapes were sold on his website and at personal appearances. Christopher offered a complete Season Two DVD set, starting in June 2004, with plans for sets of Seasons Three and Four in the future. When Warner Home Video announced the official release of Season One, Christopher ceased sales of his self-produced DVD sets.
Supporters of the new DVD campaign hope to get endorsements from Salkind and Christopher before submitting their petition to Warner Home Video. They invite all fans to visit the Superboy Homepage and to get involved.
