I fell hopelessly in love with Dean Cain as Clark Kent when I was 8 years old (I still consider him my first love). I grew up much after the Christopher Reeve era, so to me this show is THE DEFINITIVE incarnation of the Superman legend. Apparently a modern twist on the legend, now, more than 10 years after its production, the show is a bit dated in its effects, the storylines very often lack credibility, and overall the show is very evidently 90's in style and production. BUT.... the video quality is fantastic, language is clean and content rarely objectionable, the cast is stellar, the dialogue is sharp and witty, and--above all--the love story is unique and timeless as ever. Teri Hatcher is fabulous and 100% believable. Dean Cain is also fabulous--though I gotta admit I don't believe him 100% of the time--and puts a fresh, wonderfully warm, real slant on the Superman legend. No, it's not perfect. Yes, it has plot holes, random plot twists, and corny punch lines... but take it for what it is... Love it or Leave it!Read full review
Lois & Clark was one of the best shows on television in its day. The lead characters have some of the greatest chemistry seen in TV history. After Tango & Cash and before "Desperate Housewives," Tero Hatcher was the ultimate Lois Lane, even better than Margo Kidder from the original Superman movies and much better than Kate Bosworth in the newer Superman Returns movie. Bosworth is a talented actress, but was unable to capture the true Lois energy, drive, intensity, sensuality, and, of course, the requisite ability to get into the stickiest of situations. Margo Kidder was great, but lacked the sensuality and emotion that Hatcher perfected in the Lane character. Dean Kane was perfect as the good-hearted, bumbling Clark Kent, as well as the heroic Superman. It is heard to fill Christopher Reeves' shoes in that department, but he does an excellent job. Lois & Clark was the perfect precursor to the prequel series to come later in Smallville. The viewer is able to truly delve into the inner workings of the Metropolis characters, to come to know them on a wholy intensive level, comin to love them and want to spend as much quality tome with them (in the form of the DVD) as possible.Read full review
I've really enjoyed this show, I didn't see it when it was airing so I wanted to check it out. It's a great turn from what's on these days, decent, good stoylines around Superman, just an all around good show. My only complaint is that I wish shows about Classic comics would have one backstory about Superman (etc) and then be true to it no matter how many series pop up over the years. I've watched them all now, going back to theblack and white Adventures of Superman which I LOVE to Smallville which I also Love. The problem is, it;s annoying that every show makes up thier own history of Clark Kent's family life and they are all different. I know there's some aspects not included in the comics, leaving things open but Clark Kent is still Clark Kent and his whole personal history should not change based on the decade and producers/writers. Jus my opinion but I wish they would have decided these things long ago and stuck to some basics that would be constant in each series rather than making up a new family history. But that's unelated I suyppose to the quality of the show and I really enjoyed this one - not quite as much as the very old and the very new but it's still a great show.Read full review
This first season introduces this new incarnation of Superman who is the most down to earth of all Supermans. He actually has both parents living, married to each other, they're wise and active in his life and they have a strong relationship. One of the remarkable characteristics of this superman are his many clearly defined strengths: physical, moral, ethical and relational. He even has one or two powers that Christopher Reeve didn't have! It's a creative and innovative start. There are some very touching and memorable episodes that make this set worth having. The Jimmy Olson in this season is very different from future seasons but he's likable and complex even though he looks a lot like Dean Cain. The character of Cat (the society columnist) is entertaining and a funny foil but by the end of season 1, Lois & Clark can carry the show without such strong supporting characters. Lex Luthor is the villain in season 1 and John Shea is great at playing the slippery gentleman thief. All this sets the stage for Lois & Clark to really take off in Season 2!Read full review
Lois and Clark is a must see action/romance with comedy thrown in series. It puts a different spin on a well known super hero's story. Instead of just focusing on Superman, the series gets in touch with Clark Kent and his friendship/budding romance with Lois Lane and Superman is his sometimes alter ego. The first season centers on Clark adjusting to life at the Daily Planet, becoming Superman and partnering with Lois Lane as an investigative reporter. He may like Lois but she has fallen for Superman. Also Lex Luthor is becoming a constant problem for Clark and Superman as he is not the kind enterprenuer he claims to be but a sinister crime mastermind trying to destroy Superman. Will Clark/Superman finally expose Lex for what he is? Will Clark tell Lois his true feelings? It is all covered in Season one.Read full review
