lois and clark represent the new adventure of superman be one of the good sci fi show to come out of the ninety and it be probably one of the first attempt to give the comic franchise a modern twist . during the four season it air for and the familiar superman character be bring out and give a ninety touch . while lois be still very much her tenacious self and clark kent be now a confident and well adjust guy and be a far cry from the bumble clark of the film and comic . his mother martha be the one who sew his uniform for him while she and husband jonathan be always on hand to give their adoptive son advice on his love life . lex luthor be far more charismatic and he and lois even have a fling . however and perry and jimmy be in usual form and superman be ever the hero he always be and fight for truth and justice and the american way . dean cain make an excellent clark and portray the loyalty and strength of the character as well a his uncertainty over lois and his path a superman . while christopher reeve give u a very heroic superman and cain give u a hero who be heavily influence by his earth upbringing make him very human at time and it do work for this series . teri hatcher depict a beautiful and career drive lois who vacillate between arrogance and be insecure and and this soft edge make her a likable character . and john shea lex luthor be wonderfully evil and intriguing a the almost jam bond like villain who have fine taste and minion to do his dirty work . the story line be almost always fun and engaging and often capture a nice balance between drama and action and humour and romance . and unlike the smallville series and where episode be very formulaic ( ( ie and mutant of the week attack and clark save the day so he can get back to his brooding over lana ) and this series avoid that plot hole by cover different villain and plot . the only problem and that eventually saw the show demise and be when lois and clark marry a this lead to it become too soapy and cavity induce although it do serve a a lesson to future tv show producer that you should always pair your lead together in the finale and not half way through the series . lois and clark be never mean to be a deep and dark insight into superman history but instead just an entertaining show aim at both young and old and and i think it succeed . newcomer to the show should check out the first three season to see it at it best .
