Budget Drama

Money was actually pretty tight on the set of the Adventures of Superman. As previously noted, the actors had to beg for a fifty dollar raise, which the producer was not happy about! However, the budget issues also affected the way they filmed the show. All the episodes were actually filmed out of sequence in order to cut costs. Basically, each time a certain set or location was used, everything was filmed at once. For example, all the Perry White office scenes were shot at one time. This is easily seen if you watch the show back because the actors were always dressed in the exact same clothes in order to avoid any continuity errors.
