Excellent choice. One of my all-time favorites. I saw it during its original run
(before I knew there were Superman comic books!).

Definitely Wonder Woman!!!

The Tick! Patrick Warburton was such perfect casting in the starring role.

Actually, The Adventures of Superman (1953) was mentioned several
times here (including in my original post). One of the all-time best.

Mine would have to go to Tales From The Crypt (1989-1996) based off of the EC Comics "Tales From The Crypt", "The Vault of Horror", and "The Haunt of Fear" from the 50s.

I also liked The Crow: Stairway To Heaven (1998); based off of James O'Barr's comic series and the 1994 film The Crow.
