WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
When
Lois and Clark aka The New
Adventures of Superman first
appeared in 1993 it was a real
breath of fresh air, with plenty
of action, romance and humour
("Gee, now I know why they
call them tights!") and a
great pair of young leads in
Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher.

|
Cain
is a younger than normally seen Superman (and his alter ego Clark Kent
of course) just making his start in the world with a job at The Daily
Planet in Metropolis whilst Hatcher is fellow reporter Lois Lane. Of
course this being a show about a superhero Metropolis is constantly
under threat from criminal masterminds (especially Lex Luthor,
debonairly played by John Shea), megalomaniacs and alien invaders. The
real heart of the series though is the sexual chemistry and would be
romance between the leads (even the title makes this obvious), it was
evident in the first season but this 6 disc box set from Warner of the
second season sees the producers stepping on the gas a little more. It's
clear that Lois and Clark have feelings for each other despite the fact
that Lois is still extremely interested in Superman.

With
episodes that see Superman have to battle with a resurrected 30's
mobster and tangle with a martial arts master as well an episode
Season's Greedings written by star Cain this is a hugely entertaining
series that stands up very well today and leaves the much more serious
Smallville for dead. Teri Hatcher is currently steaming up the screens
in Desperate Housewives but its her role in Lois and Clark that sees her
at her best.
