The New Adventures of Superman and The Batman/Superman Hour (1966-1968) Because of a superhero craze in the 1960s, the animated series The New Adventures of Superman enjoyed brief popularity.

The SNL alumni posed together during the 58th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, where Louis-Dreyfus won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in The New Adventures of Old Christine.

In The New Adventures, it was Snubby, a mostly mute chimpanzee. In Gilligan’s Planet, that role was taken over by a small alien creature with odd vocal noises.
