Really enjoyed this show. They also changed Perry White into a more fatherly figure for the Daily Planet team and we learnt a lot more about his backstory.
There's a lot to be said for the protagonists, but to this day the show's version of the Kents, Jonathan and Martha, are who I think of when it comes to these characters. They are, to me, the perfect portrayal.
I agree. The comics made his parents important characters, someone he could go to for advice. It grounded Superman as someone who didn't always have the answers. Something missing from other versions who his parents get killed off early on (with the exception of Superboy )
you're the kind of person everybody wants to meet. random bullshit conversations which don't inevitably go "wow... you're famous... what;s that like?" ,,, Dean will probably appreciate and remember that too. because it's a real conversation, not a blasé bullshit faux fandom. it's real interest in eachother. i bet Dean loved that you spoke of anything else.
@@daRiddler32Guess you didn't get him talking about any of his far right conspiracy theories, his disturbing intolerance of a wide range of people - not a big fan of us gays, is good ol' Deano - etc etc. Look at people in the round, rather than Well He Was Nice To Me For 90 Seconds, and he is one deeply horrible human being.
I’m embarrassed to admit I had a massive crush on him. His mother lives in the city I grew up in and I always felt like I was low key perving on a neighbor 😂. I was so excited when he adopted a dog from the spca I volunteered at as a teenager. It’s the little things, but it really was a wonderful interpretation of the characters.
I met both Dean and Terri at NY Comic Con. They are two of the kindest and warmest people you can ever meet. Both are so approachable and Dean chats with his fans. Terri does as well, but I feel Dean does it longer.
I remember watching this back in the 90's while growing up. About 4 months ago, I gave it another go and binged the entire series. I really enjoyed it, but by the time I got to the last season, I feel like it was time for it to end.
@MatthewWeiler1984 I couldn’t agree more. I never liked how they developed the show after the characters got together. They really didn’t know how they wanted to progress the characters and it showed.
ITA. They already had problems in the third season (the frog eating clone amnesia arc was cringy) and by the fourth I had problems recognizing the characters, especially Clark. And I adored the series from the start and was a huge fan.
@@denise9735they did this arc at the last minute. Because DC and abc decided they wanted to have the wedding episode be the same day they got married in the comics. Leads to quite a whatever episode, which they seemly random get married at the last minute
I agree the Christopher Reeve was the best Superman, but unfortunately, the plots of the later movies weren't as good as I would have liked. That Dean views Christopher Reeve as the best version of Superman does seem to show in Dean's own portrayal, and does seem to be lacking the the subsequent portrayals of Superman by other actors.
I saw Dean at a convention, he is the sweetest most gracious person I have ever seen. He was so caring and pleased with the people who stood in line to meet him. He truly is a Superman.
He was a nice guy met him before the TV show Supergirl came out and a lot of his views started killing his fan base. He was just generally nice to talk too
I remember seeing this show as a kid back in the mid-90s and it was a fun time. I mean the way that Teri Hatcher had played Lois Lane to Dean Cain's Superman was pure Timeless fun.
I thought that Dean Caine was right up there with Christopher Reeve as one of the best performers of Superman, though Christopher Reeve will always be the top for me.
This was my favorite show as a kid. I was allowed to stay up past my bedtime and watch it. It was the one show where I didn't feel alone, as I often labeled the weird or different kid. There's a quote from S1:E3 that perfectly sums up why I fell in love with Superman- "It's the idea of Superman. Someone to believe in, someone to build a few hopes around. Whatever he can do, that's enough." I loved that show as a kid, and still love it as an adult. It'll never get old. Met Dean Cain last year, he's just as amazing in person as he is on screen!
The music for this series is my second favourite after the Williams score, obviously!! Every time i hear it, it takes me back to my childhood in the 00s, watching reruns of this show at my grannys house on the weekends!! Great show, and Dean Cain was fantastic!! Enjoyed this one, minty 🤜🤛
My Superman series as a kid was Superman: The Animated Series, but I have really grown to appreciate this one on revisit. It helps to know going into it not to expect it to just be all action but a fun character driven romcom that happens to be based around one of DC's most iconic superheroes. Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher both had real good chemistry as Clark and Lois as you watched their relationship develop over the course of the series, and I do think that was a large part of what made the series work. I also like how it showcases their work at the Daily Planet with their skills as reporters often making as much of a difference in stopping the villain-of-the-week as Superman himself. Also if it weren't for this series then readers of the comics would have never gotten Doomsday and the now iconic "Death and Return of Superman" storyline, so good on Minty for mentioning that.
True. But then again, at the time, kids stopped watching this after they saw Superman: The Animated Series, which had more action than all the mushy drama that turned them off.
Make a Lois & Clark The New Adventures of Superman animated movie that pick up what was left off after season 4 with Dean and Terri reprising their voices just like Batman The Return of Cape Crusaders.
I met dean Cain at a comic convention in London in 2017 thanks to being the face of cerebral palsy in the 90s. Dean is my superman as I was born in the early 90s and I have fond memories of watching him as a kid.
She was definitely the sexiest Lois Lane I have seen. I love Margot Kidder, and she was definitely sexy in her time as well, but Teri one-uped her completely in this series.
Met both of them at two different cons. Dean was great and friendly...his Q&A about the show answered some questions. Met Teri at NYCC and she was absolutely wonderful. She and I had a conversation about our daughters. I was getting an autograph for my daughter and told Miss Hatcher how my daughter was leaving for college and she said her daughter was too...we launched into a convo about how it was scary to let them go and how fast they grow up.....
Lois and Clark was / is a GREAT show! Dean and Teri were awesome in their roles (as were the other main cast members)! We should've gotten a final 5th season to wrap things up before the end came. (I agree a bit with your marriage synopsis... they pulled a Moonlighting. Where, once Dave and Addie got together, the story lines seemed to dip along with the viewership.)
Dude I literally started watching this show for the first time 2 weeks or so ago. This show is freaking awesome. Other than the special effects I would say it’s better than Smallville and Man of Steel.
I remember watching this show when it came out. I was a preteen and this show is when I fell in love with Teri Hatcher. There is just something about her eyes. She is why I don't mind watching desperate housewives with my wife lol
Great choice for a video! I loved this as a kid and couldn't wait until church every Sunday to discuss it with my friends. That who's asking Clark or superman line had me flipping out for months!!!
as a kid i didn't have a crush on kat, i had a crush on lois. teri hatcher was amazing in that role. i've recently be rewatching the series so this is fortuitous timing. it still holds up real well, sure when technology was involved it was always painfully 90's but it was fun and remains my favourite superman series.
I enjoyed the show from time to time when I was a kid, but in the early 2000's I was working a 3rd shift job, and Lois and Clark was airing reruns every morning when I got home - that's when I watched it the most!
Loved the show, and as someone married it is fun to see the way those two deal with the challenges. Lois turned out to be a very understanding wife and companion to Clark/Superman in the end, and it is fun to see.
2:56 Being non-American, you perhaps don't know that the new title is a punny twist on the famous Lewis and Clark pioneering expedition in northwest USA.
I met Dean Cain and got my Season 1 dvd signed. Dude is super cool. Cindy Morgan was next to him and I got a signed Tron Frisbee. It was a cool Comicon
@@PixelzNcreatureZ it was, but she died alone and wasn`t found for days. Sounds like it wasn`t quick, either. Rumor was COVID, although being Florida of course that wasn`t listed as the official cause. Either way, she died alone and didn't summon help for some reason.
When discussing American TV shows it is very important to understand that here we refer to them as seasons, not series. That’s why we have season finale. Here in the states the series finale is the final episode of a TV show.
Definitely one of the best versions of these Characters. Both of the leads were fantastic and fun. The support actors great, overall well done and fun TV show.
As a fun of superman films and Smallville tv show 2001-2011 this was the second tv show in genre to superman first one was super boy 1988 - 1992 this was the jam 🤩 very week I Watched this every single week of this good 👍 show > Lois and Clark 1993-1997
I grew up watching this version of Superman. I had a crush on Dean Cain. Dean's version is underrated for so many years. I'm glad you did a video on this version. I did watch Superboy growing up too.
The sexiest Lois was without a doubt Teri Hatcher. Dean Cain was a good clark kent but weak as superman. He did have great chemistry with Teri. Their chemistry made this show memorable
Oh wow. Perfect timing Minty. I'm currently rewatching this on DVD. Recorded every episode on VHS back in the 90s as they went to air. Hated it when the weather was bad and the TV reception would get messed up while recording
Another awesome, enlightening and insightful retrospective!👍 Maybe you can cover Smallville, Buffy and Charmed too. Keep up the exceptional work!🔥 2:37
That was such an awesome show. Lane Smith is the definitive Perry White, Terry Hatcher was so hot, and I thought it was a good idea to keep Jonathan Kent alive.
Weekend at Bernie's Terry Kisser was in it too. He was in Season 2 with Tempus, who tells Lois Clark's secret. One of the funniest lines in the show, "How dumb was she?"
The creators of Superman were actually going to have Lois find out that Clark Kent very early on in a story called "The K-Metal of Krypton", but the editors rejected this story and didn't want to change the status quo. (The titular "K-Metal" was essentially Kryptonite, years before Kryptonite was introduced to the public.) Because of this, Lois was supposed to be a great reporter but she looked stupid because she couldn't figure out that these two men in her life that looked identical were in fact the same man. They mocked this on Saturday Night Live when Terri Hatcher hosted. Terri would get confused when the cast members would put on or take off their glasses while talking to her, thinking the person with glasses was a different person that had somehow swapped places with the person she was just talking to.
their marriage is exactly why the show got cancelled as the ratings did indeed plummet after that episode which was kinda sad because it was a good adaptation of the Superman mythos
This is one of those shows that has aged quite well, even not being perfect. I wouldn't mind if they did season 5 as a comic book, the same way they're doing for Burton's Batman 89 timeline. It would be fun. Dean and Teri did a fantastic job as Clark and Lois... and I dare to say that John Shea's version of Lex Luthor is my favourite version of the character in live-action form, because you see that he's Lex, but in season 1 he's not entirely obsessed with Superman, like it happens in most media portrayals, and that's a good thing, because it allows us to see him slowly going down the rabbit's hole that is his obsession with Lois in this version. And I also loved Lane Smith's Perry White (best version of Perry in my opinion). Regarding the outfit keep changing, I always attributed the changes to Clark's mom, who continued to sew his outfits (I mean, there's even one episode, where most of his outfits get destroyed, with the exception of one, and he says that his mom's going to kill him, xD), so, like the show's team, she was experimenting. xD
Minty stick to facts. The comic writers decided to “Kill” Superman simply as a shock to get Sales. As they were asked. All you need to do to know this is watch The documentary on the character which I believe is titled “Look Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman”. Also you missed one Superman cameo. In the same episode that Jack Larson appeared. The episode ends with a scene of Lois and Clark dancing in their brownstone and she starts thinking about him aging slower and in the mirror she sees him dancing with her except he is the same and she is older. The older reflection of Lois is none other than Noel Neil, the 50’s second Lois and the overall 1st live action Lois Lane as she originated the role in the two Superman serials in the 40’s.
The comic writers WERE going to have the marriage but had to come up with something else because of the show. They had trouble thinking of a replacement, and one of the writers kept jokingly saying, "Let's just kill him." Eventually, they actually went with that when they couldn't think of anything better. Yes, it was to boost sales, but so was the planned wedding.
@@KasumiKenshirou Actually it wasn’t and if you watch the documentary I mentioned you will hear the writers talk about it. They were talking about killing Superman every so often long before the series was a thought. Yes the series delayed the Wedding but it had nothing to do with the death and resurrection of Superman.
@@matthewrosenthal753 They'd been joking about killing him for years but it was the gap they now had in the story due to having to cancel the wedding due to the series that they went ahead with killing him at that time.
@@JurassicRod The show hadn’t even launched yet. Sales were down and they were asked to do something with the character to get people to buy the comics. Let’s kill him came up in the discussion. And they decided to do it because it was left up to them. And it worked. The show or rather its plan only postponed the Wedding. It was a combination of wanting to boost sales, create interest, and show everyone why we needed Superman that made the decision for that story. But don’t take my word for watch the documentary and take their words for it.
It’s on the dvd set interviews. The baby belong to the couple leading new krypton. Funny enough, according to the interviews for Smallville; Smallville was originally intended to be a 5 seasons long prequel to Lois and Clark. Using time travel shenanigans to restore Lax not knowing about Clark being Superman. The idea was than to go back to L&C, with a season 5. with them still taking care of the New K baby, now at school age of 5 or 6. Plans changed during the production of Smallville’s season 3b. When many of the cast and crew decided they wanted out of Smallville.
Fantastic! Some of my fondest childhood memories are of watching this show and "Power Rangers", so they both hold a special place in my heart. Yes, I was one of the youngsters who had a huge crush on Tracy Scoggins! (and Amy Jo-Johnson)
THANK YOU!!! FINALLY LOIS AND CLARK!! NOW WE JUST NEED ..... HERCULES AND XENA!!!! WHO'S WITH ME!?!??.... EVERYONE READING THIS NEEDS TO VOTE FOR HERCULES AND XENA!!?!??
Aside from Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher are my favorite Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Even though we only got four seasons, they are, for the most part, pretty great. I still watch the series on TUBI. Also, a big shout out to Eddie Jones and K Callan as they were really the best Johnathon and Martha Kent. Their chemistry as the elder Kents was just 😘
I loved that show. I was laying in bed watching a mini marathon of the show on Sep.11th on a lazy day off. The first tower had already collapsed by the time the channel I was watching switched to a news feed and I found out. Around the same time My mother finally got thru on the phone from Florida freaking out as she just knew I was at the Pentagon. I may have lived only 15 miles from it in Virginia, but never had any reason to go to or even near that building.
This was my favorite show as a kid! I would watch it with my grandma at her house! Dean Cain is still my favorite live action Superman, I know it’s crazy 😂
Certainly an interesting and different perspective of the Superman legacy and a series that I would like to revisit more often. Also one of the rare superhero prime time shows of the 90s. I definitely would like to get to know this show better and thank you for sharing so many amazing facts about it. Your channel is always a treat to watch and I hope you will keep on making videos for a long time to come!
I used to watch this with my mom as a kid It was one of my favorite betrayals that wasn't so far out there that it was just chewed up like everything else 👍👍
I took a tour of Warner Bros. Studios and the Dailey Planet office set was one of the stops we made (they weren’t filming that day). I was able to stand behind the chair at Lois's desk. We weren't allowed to take pictures or I definitely would have.
I loved Lois and Clark! It was a great comic book show. Also, my foot is in an episode of the mentioned Superboy... It was after the show changed actors and moved to Orlando for filming. I was an extra for the episode where Superboy saves a signer from a car, where you can see my foot climbing down a ladder as he saves her...
I loved this show. I remember when it was in syndication. It used to come on in the morning on TNT network. I think at some point it was TBS network. And I used to work overnight. So I would come home in the morning just as the show would come on. It was my morning routine to watch this show after a night's work. I loved this part of my routine. Sometimes they would have back to back episodes run for a stretch of time, it was great.
"Clark is who I am. Superman is what I can do."
It's a line I'll never forget because it's a great encapsulation of the character.
STAS also had a good episode where the Superman of that series says something similar.
This was a post crisis Superman decision. One that I love.
@@nicksorenson940 STAS had Jack Kirby homage character, and he was a heck of a character!
You're backwards on the quote but anyway it's one of the greatest, if not the greatest, moments of the show!
That was one of my favorite scenes from the entire show.
Really enjoyed this show. They also changed Perry White into a more fatherly figure for the Daily Planet team and we learnt a lot more about his backstory.

Yeah for him it was probably a nice break from talking about Superman all day
That’s awesome. These are the celebrity stories I like.

Clark’s parents were awesome in this. How they also filled with Lois when she needed mother’s or father’s advice.
One of my favorite renditions of Superman, as a kid. Dean and Terri had such great charisma together.
Dean Cain's Superman is my favorite Superman.
Same

Great superman writing
You right about that he had us women weak back then and still do
Lane Smith as Perry White is my favorite portrayal of the character, and my favorite character on Lois and Clark.
Anytime I think of Perry White? Lane Smith is the version that pops into my head. It doesn't matter what iteration of Superman I am thinking about.
Totally agree. He sets the benchmark for all Perry White.

I didn’t know Clark was Superman
Them glasses 👓 really hid it well
@shanethelfall416 my super skills detect some sarcasm there !! 🤔
@@harveylee51Just a little bit
The slicked-back hair as Superman helps in this series, I guess.
"Perry the Platypus?"
Loved this show! The casting was perfect for Superman, Lois, Perry White and Jimmy Olsen!
Please do a video on Smallville. Thank you! 👍😃
Minty I was pleasantly surprised that you decided to cover this one
Not my favorite Superman
But still a genuine charmer
As a fun of superman films and Smallville tv show 2001-2011 this was the second tv show in genre to superman first one was super boy 1988 - 1992 this was the jam 🤩 very week I Watched this every single week of this good 👍 show > Lois and Clark 1993-1997
I grew up watching this version of Superman. I had a crush on Dean Cain. Dean's version is underrated for so many years. I'm glad you did a video on this version.
I did watch Superboy growing up too.
I started rewatching this on tubi. They have every episode. I used to watch them all new way back when.
The sexiest Lois was without a doubt Teri Hatcher. Dean Cain was a good clark kent but weak as superman. He did have great chemistry with Teri. Their chemistry made this show memorable
FINALLY!!!!! my favourite series of all time! thx for making this video ❤🎉
I loved this show.. Waited every Sunday...pure magic..movies are 1 thing but watching their everyday fun lives was epic..👍👍❤️👍👍
I loved this show so much as a kid, I had a pair of lovebirds I named Lois and Clark lol
Loved this show! Thanks for reviewing it. I had a super crush on Lois Lane in this show.
Oh wow. Perfect timing Minty. I'm currently rewatching this on DVD. Recorded every episode on VHS back in the 90s as they went to air. Hated it when the weather was bad and the TV reception would get messed up while recording
Fantastic show, with a perfect cast. Superman hasn't been fun since.
Another awesome, enlightening and insightful retrospective!👍 Maybe you can cover Smallville, Buffy and Charmed too.
Keep up the exceptional work!🔥 2:37
That was such an awesome show. Lane Smith is the definitive Perry White, Terry Hatcher was so hot, and I thought it was a good idea to keep Jonathan Kent alive.
Weekend at Bernie's Terry Kisser was in it too. He was in Season 2 with Tempus, who tells Lois Clark's secret. One of the funniest lines in the show, "How dumb was she?"
I remember something like "Now I'm wearing glasses. Now I'm not! Now I'm wearing glasses."
@@auldthymer yeah. He puts on glasses and says "I'm Clark Kent." (takes off glasses) "No. I'm Superman." LOL
The creators of Superman were actually going to have Lois find out that Clark Kent very early on in a story called "The K-Metal of Krypton", but the editors rejected this story and didn't want to change the status quo. (The titular "K-Metal" was essentially Kryptonite, years before Kryptonite was introduced to the public.) Because of this, Lois was supposed to be a great reporter but she looked stupid because she couldn't figure out that these two men in her life that looked identical were in fact the same man.
They mocked this on Saturday Night Live when Terri Hatcher hosted. Terri would get confused when the cast members would put on or take off their glasses while talking to her, thinking the person with glasses was a different person that had somehow swapped places with the person she was just talking to.
"To actually meet the most galactically stupid woman who ever lived" - LOL Tempus was harsh!
oh I loved that show as a child, nothing but good memories of it .
I used to get so excited as a kid when this show was on the TV… always has a special place in my heart
their marriage is exactly why the show got cancelled as the ratings did indeed plummet after that episode which was kinda sad because it was a good adaptation of the Superman mythos
If I remember correctly the show had Clark and Lois get married before they did in the comics.
Thanks, the nostalgia feeling i got from this blast from the past made me feel warm and fuzzy
This is one of those shows that has aged quite well, even not being perfect. I wouldn't mind if they did season 5 as a comic book, the same way they're doing for Burton's Batman 89 timeline. It would be fun.
Dean and Teri did a fantastic job as Clark and Lois... and I dare to say that John Shea's version of Lex Luthor is my favourite version of the character in live-action form, because you see that he's Lex, but in season 1 he's not entirely obsessed with Superman, like it happens in most media portrayals, and that's a good thing, because it allows us to see him slowly going down the rabbit's hole that is his obsession with Lois in this version. And I also loved Lane Smith's Perry White (best version of Perry in my opinion).
Regarding the outfit keep changing, I always attributed the changes to Clark's mom, who continued to sew his outfits (I mean, there's even one episode, where most of his outfits get destroyed, with the exception of one, and he says that his mom's going to kill him, xD), so, like the show's team, she was experimenting. xD
This is a show I will NEVER FORGET! And it has one of the best Lois, Clarck, Perry White and Superman fo all time!
Minty stick to facts. The comic writers decided to “Kill” Superman simply as a shock to get Sales. As they were asked. All you need to do to know this is watch The documentary on the character which I believe is titled “Look Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman”. Also you missed one Superman cameo. In the same episode that Jack Larson appeared. The episode ends with a scene of Lois and Clark dancing in their brownstone and she starts thinking about him aging slower and in the mirror she sees him dancing with her except he is the same and she is older. The older reflection of Lois is none other than Noel Neil, the 50’s second Lois and the overall 1st live action Lois Lane as she originated the role in the two Superman serials in the 40’s.
The comic writers WERE going to have the marriage but had to come up with something else because of the show. They had trouble thinking of a replacement, and one of the writers kept jokingly saying, "Let's just kill him." Eventually, they actually went with that when they couldn't think of anything better.
Yes, it was to boost sales, but so was the planned wedding.
@@KasumiKenshirou Actually it wasn’t and if you watch the documentary I mentioned you will hear the writers talk about it. They were talking about killing Superman every so often long before the series was a thought. Yes the series delayed the Wedding but it had nothing to do with the death and resurrection of Superman.
@@matthewrosenthal753 They'd been joking about killing him for years but it was the gap they now had in the story due to having to cancel the wedding due to the series that they went ahead with killing him at that time.
@@JurassicRod The show hadn’t even launched yet. Sales were down and they were asked to do something with the character to get people to buy the comics. Let’s kill him came up in the discussion. And they decided to do it because it was left up to them. And it worked. The show or rather its plan only postponed the Wedding. It was a combination of wanting to boost sales, create interest, and show everyone why we needed Superman that made the decision for that story. But don’t take my word for watch the documentary and take their words for it.
Huh,i hope someone got fired for that blunder😂
This was a fun version of Superman. It's a shame we never got to see what happened to their cryptonian baby at the end of the show..
I'm on season 2
@@kylekullin2520 🤣🤣🤣
It’s on the dvd set interviews. The baby belong to the couple leading new krypton.
Funny enough, according to the interviews for Smallville; Smallville was originally intended to be a 5 seasons long prequel to Lois and Clark. Using time travel shenanigans to restore Lax not knowing about Clark being Superman.
The idea was than to go back to L&C, with a season 5. with them still taking care of the New K baby, now at school age of 5 or 6.
Plans changed during the production of Smallville’s season 3b. When many of the cast and crew decided they wanted out of Smallville.
Sad this show has been forgotten it was fun decent FX Dean Cain And Lovely Teri Hatcher ❤
My mom loved this show
I rewatched this recently and i loved it! great chemistry, stories and that pilot! lots of heart!
I was born in 1980 so I was in my teens when this show came out in the 90s and I absolutely loved it.
Fantastic! Some of my fondest childhood memories are of watching this show and "Power Rangers", so they both hold a special place in my heart. Yes, I was one of the youngsters who had a huge crush on Tracy Scoggins! (and Amy Jo-Johnson)
THANK YOU!!! FINALLY LOIS AND CLARK!!
NOW WE JUST NEED .....
HERCULES AND XENA!!!! WHO'S WITH ME!?!??.... EVERYONE READING THIS NEEDS TO VOTE FOR HERCULES AND XENA!!?!??
Loved this show from day one...I still watch it today!
Aside from Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher are my favorite Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Even though we only got four seasons, they are, for the most part, pretty great. I still watch the series on TUBI. Also, a big shout out to Eddie Jones and K Callan as they were really the best Johnathon and Martha Kent. Their chemistry as the elder Kents was just 😘
One of my favorite tv shows 👍😎🎬
I love the focus on Clark being the real identity and Superman “what he can do”. Since he was raised as Clark it seemed the most logical to me
Wow, Kevin Sorbo nearly playing Superman as well as Hercules. Teenage me would have swooned so hard 😂
Sorbo also tried out for the part of Fox Mulder from The X-Files, before he landed the part of Hercules.
If he had gotten Superman he wouldn't have been Hercules. Both shows were on at the same time filming in different countries
I loved that show. I was laying in bed watching a mini marathon of the show on Sep.11th on a lazy day off. The first tower had already collapsed by the time the channel I was watching switched to a news feed and I found out. Around the same time My mother finally got thru on the phone from Florida freaking out as she just knew I was at the Pentagon. I may have lived only 15 miles from it in Virginia, but never had any reason to go to or even near that building.
Loved Howie Mandel as Mr. Mxy. That was a great episode
This show was my introduction to superman at the young age of around 7 or 8 years old and because of it I am a massive superman fan to this day
Loved this show i was in my early 20s now just about 58 but still feeling the same way !
Super Job Minty! ✌️😎
Best Perry White. Also my favourite Clark.
This was my favorite show as a kid! I would watch it with my grandma at her house! Dean Cain is still my favorite live action Superman, I know it’s crazy 😂
Certainly an interesting and different perspective of the Superman legacy and a series that I would like to revisit more often. Also one of the rare superhero prime time shows of the 90s. I definitely would like to get to know this show better and thank you for sharing so many amazing facts about it. Your channel is always a treat to watch and I hope you will keep on making videos for a long time to come!
What a fantastic video ! Thank you! I was a big fan of the show
I used to watch this with my mom as a kid It was one of my favorite betrayals that wasn't so far out there that it was just chewed up like everything else 👍👍
I took a tour of Warner Bros. Studios and the Dailey Planet office set was one of the stops we made (they weren’t filming that day). I was able to stand behind the chair at Lois's desk. We weren't allowed to take pictures or I definitely would have.
I loved Lois and Clark! It was a great comic book show.
Also, my foot is in an episode of the mentioned Superboy... It was after the show changed actors and moved to Orlando for filming. I was an extra for the episode where Superboy saves a signer from a car, where you can see my foot climbing down a ladder as he saves her...
I loved this show. I remember when it was in syndication. It used to come on in the morning on TNT network. I think at some point it was TBS network. And I used to work overnight. So I would come home in the morning just as the show would come on. It was my morning routine to watch this show after a night's work. I loved this part of my routine. Sometimes they would have back to back episodes run for a stretch of time, it was great.
