firstly and despite what the whiny comic geek say and this be an above average tv show . if only more show have the same potential and instead of executive vomit at u with crppy reality show and poor knight rider or a team wannabe modern show . the show every once in a while try to relate to the comic what with the occasional character like toyman and prankster and whatnot and but fortunately it try to stay fresh and original and give u story to which we do not know what will happen rather than redo some comic story . it take a while to adjust to dean cain and but the cast be good . my only complaint be dean cain play ck and superman in the same vein and do not distinguish the two character enough . what i think be the down side of the show represent make up and design while they couldn have do a good job of make clark kent and superman look different and the movie do that quite well . the special effect weren not as outstanding a they should have be while most time after the first season and we barely see superman take off and he just wave his cape at the camera and literelly jump two foot leave or right side of the camera out of frame . that be kinda lame and but maybe they have a limited budget and but thankfully the writer make up for that with mostly good plot and character development and great support cast with the kent and jimmy and perry . ( why do michael landes leave . ) the show end waaaaay too soon for a story that betterly know than a lot of biblical story and epic . definately could have survive long and it a pity they have stuff like knight rider and miami vice and junk out to buy yet we have nothing to do with this show in our store . if be lucky and they will make a feature length comeback or on off tv movie sometime soon . and i would like to see those mcfarlane action figure and that would be cool . ( if smallville get figure and so should this show . ) great show and good than smallville and the early cartoon and serial but a always and tv executive do not know gold when they see it .
