* ButIPlayOneOnTV: Creator/GeorgeReeves had it much rougher than Creator/ChristopherReeve, as his younger fans would often try to test his invulnerability. The worst case was when a boy brought his father's gun to a set to see if Superman was really bulletproof. Reeves convinced him to hand over the gun saying that the bullet would bounce off and hurt somebody else. (The incident was depicted in the biopic ''Film/{{Hollywoodland}}''). When he appeared on ''Series/ILoveLucy'', Reeves was only referred to as "Superman" so as not to break the illusion of younger viewers. Basically, to enforce this trope.

** Creator/GeorgeReeves was trying desperately to avoid this trope, but sadly even his death cemented it. Though, some documentaries dispute that while Reeves ''had'' gotten tired of playing Superman, he had come to accept that the role would be what he would be best known for and embraced it. Tragically, this acceptance was apparently shortly before his death.

* MissingEpisode: One of the most infamous in Radio history. All stories broadcast from August 31, 1942 to September 3, 1945 are either wholly or partially missing, leaving several hundred episodes simply gone. This includes the very first appearance of Kryptonite in all fiction, as well as the first appearance of Batman and Robin and supporting character Candy Meyers.
* RecycledScript: Several stories are lifted almost word for word from the early years of the run, while others are repeats with the idea that the characters are having flashbacks to the whole adventure, even the parts they weren't there for!

* BeamMeUpScotty: The phrase, "Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound," was often misremembered as, "Able to leap tall buildings '''in''' a single bound." Notably, when the phrase was used in an episode of ''Series/WheelOfFortune'', two of the contestants tried to guess the phrase while the letters "A", "I", "N", and "T" had not been uncovered, while the third declined to guess. Neither of the two guesses were right.
* RealitySubtext: Stories would occasionally completely shift focus to Batman and Robin in order to give Collyer a little time off.
