"Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" was doing well during the first two seasons. The episodes were entertaining, the characters of Lois and Clark/Superman were well defined and Lex Luthor was involved. The story lines were quite complex for a show aimed at teenagers. Dean Cain wasn't bad as the superhero and Teri Hatcher was a great Lois Lane. Sadly, the show had outstayed its welcome by the time it finished after four seasons. It wasn't a good move in Lois knowing who Clark really was as the sense of drama had been greatly diluted. The writing had gotten rather lazy as well. I still have fond memories of this series though, seeing as I remember seeing it on a Saturday evening on BBC 2 at about 6:15 p.m.

You know, I really don't get why this TV program's title starts off with Lois's name. I mean, she's certainly not the reason why anyone that I know would be tuning into this show. She's not. No. It's Clark (aka. Superman) that we're all here to see. Right? And, speaking about Clark/Superman - It really kills me that it's just a pair of eyeglasses and a business suit that's the only distinguishing difference between the appearance of this 2-in-1 character - And, yet, everyone in Metropolis is so thick and in need of an eye-examination that they can't see the obvious.Anyway - This 1993 TV series was definitely on the disappointing side - Weak and predictable story-lines - Cookie-cutter character types - Lame special effects - Cringe-worthy attempts at humour - And, most disappointing thing of all - Absolutely no chemistry happening between the Clark and Lois characters.*Trivia note* - Dean Cain is the only actor to ever play the Superman character who was under 6 feet tall.

I remember seeing this on a number of occasions as it was always broadcast on BBC2 either midday or at around the same time as The Simpsons and Star Trek: Voyager, but I didn't watch very often. Basically this television series focuses almost more on the leading couple of the show, Clark Kent (Dean Cain) aka the greatest superhero on Earth and for Metropolis, the Man of Steel, Superman, and his love interest who works at the Daily Planet with him, Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher). So every episode we would see Lois and Clark either trying to get on with each other as colleagues, or slowly getting closer to each other, and of course some disaster occurring in the city in which Clark would don the blue suit and red cape to fly off and save the day, Lois sometimes might be a victim. Obviously it seems more apparent that Lois is in love with Superman much more than Clark himself, she almost completely ignores him, but she slowly develops feelings, and of course it was a near revolution when she finally found out his true identity (possibly recognising through the glasses). Also starring Eddie Jones as Jonathan Kent, K Callan as Martha Kent, Lane Smith as Perry White, Child's Play 3's Justin Whalin as Jimmy Olsen, John Shea as Lex Luthor, Michael Landes as Jimmy Olsen, Tracy Scoggins as Catherine 'Cat' Grant, Kenneth Kimmins as Dr. Bernard Klein, Tomorrow Never Dies' Tony Jay as Nigel St. John and Beverly Garland as Ellen Lane. Cain is good looking and nice, Hatcher is gorgeous and confident, and Shea when he was on was a cool villain, Cain and Hatcher together of course make a good on screen couple, awkward as Clark, close as Superman, and closer as the series went on, and the special effects to create disasters and Superman powers are good, overall it was a good fun romantic fantasy adventure show. It was nominated the Emmys for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Drama Series (twice), Outstanding Individual Achievement in Costuming for a Series, Outstanding Individual Achievement in Directing in a Drama Series, and Outstanding Individual Achievement in Main Title Theme Music for Jay Gruska. Superman was number 72 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culuture Icons. Good!
