    It's not in continuity. Landis intended it as a stand alone series with his own personal take on Clark Kent and his journey into Superman. The canon origin for Superman currently is Secret Origin with the New 52 death of The Kents when Clark was a teenager added in.

    @tifalockhart: I feel the same way. The Kents were essential to several of Superman's past stories. Without their presence, one has to wonder how differently those stories went. That leaves several gaping plot holes DC has failed to fix.
