Lois Was Banned from Appearing on Commercials with Clark Because It Was Too Suggestive
One of the reasons The Adventures of Superman was able to get on the air in 1952 was due to a sponsorship by Kellogs. When the show aired, characters appeared in commercials for the cereal giant alongside each episode. However, Superman himself did not appear in the commercials.
Neither did Lois Lane. She was in effect banned from the corn flake advertisements because the culture was very different during the ’50s than it is today. Producers believed it would have been too sexually suggestive for Clark and Lois to be sharing breakfast together. Because if they shared breakfast, what else did they do together?
