SUPERBOY(1988) SEASON 3
First things first, there are no English subtitles in this!!!! BOOOOOOO!!!!
The second season sees a few changes, one major one!! Superboy
is just not himself!!! LOL!! They kicked off John Haymes Newton and
replaced him with Gerald Christopher!! Also gone is T.J. White(Perry's
nephew played by Jaime Calvert, and photographer for the newpaper)!!
I'll have to watch these as I don't know how this turn of events
helped/hurt the show!!
EPISODES 1: THE BRIDE OF BIZZARO(PART 1)(Oct. 06, 1990):
This starts off with a big faux pas: Bizzaro's "S" should be
backwards!!! Of course this is because they've changed the whole
lore of the origin of Bizzaro!
Anyway, Bizzaro comes back to Earth and Luthor swings a deal
with him to kill Superboy, then he'll make him a girlfriend!

From another reviewer at IMDb.com:
the flash was a pretty good adaptation of the
comic books and it really is a shame that it got
canceled so fast . the acting was pretty good
and the characters were pretty close to their
paper counterparts. all in all a decent show
and a better adaptation of a comic book into
a series than any other so far ( that includes
the not too bad but too girlie adaptation of
superboy in WB's smallville ) - ruthven1974
