Jerry Seinfeld’s Favorite Episode Was “Panic in the Sky”

In the 1953 episode “Panic In The Sky,” Superman loses his memory while trying to stop an asteroid from hitting earth. It’s one of the series most popular episodes and is a favorite of actor/comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
Clark does not remember he is Superman, so the episode showed off his more vulnerable and tender side. The hero acted more human than alien, which appealed to audiences. The episode also portrayed a threat that hit close to home during a time when hydrogen bombs and intercontinental missiles were on the public’s minds. The episode was also based on the comic book.
