Lois & Clark was one of the sweetest surprises of the 1993 television season, and while it certainly enjoyed a devoted following until the series jumped the tall building in its later years, we can probably thank the Phoenix-like rise of Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher's career to thank for its arrival on DVD. The premise of Lois & Clark is one fraught with peril, particularly for core fans. This incarnation of the Man of Steel saga recasts Superman as romantic comedy. One of the series creators once described this series as "basically, Moonlighting, only Bruce Willis can fly." This is overstating the case by leaps and bounds. Clark Kent (Dean Cain) has not been reinvented as a wisecracking street-wise hipster. The chemistry between the new Metropolis arrival and rookie Daily Planet scribe and ace investigative reporter Lois Lane (Hatcher) is not as sexually charged as David and Maddie, and their banter is not as sharp. But as with Moonlighting it would be a few seasons before the two lovelorn characters consummated their attraction. The dramatic arc of this inaugural season is "the fall of the house of Luthor," but at its heart is the triangle between Clark, Lois, and the charming snake Lex Luthor (John Shea), who, in the pilot episode, Superman vows to bring to justice ("Let the games begin," Luthor responds). Further complicating matters is that Superman has literally swept Lois off her feet. But until the episode "Barbarians at the Planet," in which Lex proposes to Lois, Lois professes her love to Superman, and Clark confesses his love to Lois, Lois & Clark breezily tweaks the touchstones of Superman iconography. "I've never noticed it before," a "drunk with love" Lois observes to a bespectacled Clark in "Pheremone, My Lovely," "You look a lot like Superman." Though special effects have progressed since the 1990s, Lois & Clark has lost little of its sparkle and panache, thanks to its super leads, whose fledgling careers soared to dizzying new heights. --Donald Liebenson2) Description

1) good memories revisited [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Smallville/Lois & Clark/Adventures of Superman: Season 1 CollectionI had seen this series on SABC 1 many years ago when I lived in my house before life's little surprises(my father' illness and death) and when I got a computer and discovered the joys of Amazon I looked for the series and decided with very little doubt to buy it. It is just as good as I remembered or rather even better. It and Superman Returns go together. Both betray a real person that you would like to rescue you. Lois @ Clark is filled with humour and action. It makes you want to live in their world and be as hopefull and as adventurous as they were. It brings out the magic that is in life if only we could see it or were brave enough to dare to live it. I think that this series, after I get them all, are going to be on of my treasures. Especially for those days when you wish you had slept through. I highly recomend it to anyone who wants some fun in life.2) Lois & Clark - The New Adventure of Superman [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This was a good show and the DVD was in good condition. I would buy from this vendor again3) "I can't take it anymore! If really you want me, I'm yours." [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is a great show. That is a great show comes as a surprise to me, because I never watched it when it ran on TV and didn't much care when it came out on DVD. But from episode one I was completely hooked. The production values are cheesy, the plots silly, and most of the acting second-rate (Morgan Fairchild, oh brother) but the series soars on the chemistry of Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher as Clark Kent and Lois Lane, old school intrepid reporters. We lovers of romantic comedy demand only two things; that a series should be romantic and that it should be funny. Apparently this is a lot to ask because the humor in "Lois and Clark" and the sweet and gentle romance is so unusual the show completely absorbed me and my weekend. Hatcher and Cain carry episode after episode with their banter and apparently genuine pleasure in each other's presence. Also worth noting is John Shea as Lex Luthor; it takes a good actor to give off the aura of wealth when the sets aren't helping him. My favorite episodes this season are "Honeymoon in Metropolis" with Lois and Clark undercover as newlyweds, "Witness" (wish a man would be so worried about me he slept on a bench outside MY apartment) and "Pheromone My Lovely" , which was pretty much ripped off intact for a recent "Smallville". Who'd have thunk it: A perky Lois who can take care of herself (karate!) and a Clark who, as my sister pointed out, is actually sexier than Superman. If you watched the show in the 90's you've already bought this and if you didn't, better clear your weekend. NOTE: Although I did love Morgan Fairchild's whiny "Oh no Lex I love you will you wait for me?" and his curt "No!". Funny stuff.4) Lois and Clark [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Very good series that focuses of the romance between Lois Lane and Clark Kent. The writers used the tried and true technique of taking the viewer up to the point of Lois and Clark having a relationship and backing off. After several of those "false starts", the two became an item and toward the end of the series actually married. The weak point of the series was that this Superman was the dumbest of them all. Here we have an alien with super powers and super intellect who seems to be confused and lost about events all to often. In one episode, Lois is convicted of murder and sent to prison. Clark, alias Superman, seems to be saying to her, "I'll visit you on visitors day". That's the best the Man of Steel can do? But the good guys prevail and Lois is finally proven innocent. At least the writers realized she couldn't stay in the slammer. duh... But I still remain a fan of the series. Dean Cain was very good as Clark Kent (he didn't write his part) and Teri Hatcher was a very good Lois Lane, along with being the prettiest of all the Lois Lanes to date.5) A Great Series Comic Book Fans and Non Comic Fans Can Enjoy [Rating: 5 out of 5]
As everyone else has said, the chemistry between Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher works so well for them in this series, which is also what the series rides on. There is also plenty of action, but like in Smallville, the story focuses more on Clark Kent instead of Superman. Almost every episode had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion, but every episode did have me hooked on to the story. The rest of the cast is well done as well, so much so that you can forgive John Shea for not playing Lex Luthor bald.
