At first essentially fantasy and adventure, the shows reflected the progress of the decade, using in the late 1950s extrapolations from the theories and findings of true science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   From \u003ci\u003eAdventures of Superman\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eWorld of Giants,\u003c\/i\u003e this reference work covers all science fiction television series of the 1950s. A lengthy essay details character development, technical innovations, critical commentary and other matters. The episode guides that follow first provide primary cast and production credits for the entire season and then coverage of each individual episode, with title, airdate, writer, director, and a plot synopsis. Much of the information was derived from actual viewing, and many errors from other works are corrected here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233237619032,"sku":"9780786431014","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786431014_7c07f599-134a-4a9f-86b2-88b7d4292cae.jpg?v=1764987335","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/american-science-fiction-television-series-of-the-1950s","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
