We are of course talking about my childhood hero, the original television Superman, George Reeves.
Reeves was no physical comedian, but he couldn't "fly" without knowing how to do a tiger leap through a window!

You can watch the entire episode via Hulu, free but with a few commercials at the beginning. Just click here. (If you don't have time for the whole thing, just fast forward to 19:30, where Superman first comes to the rescue.)
