Lois and Clarke


Was the aim of the show to make Superman so stupid -- halfway through watching this for the first time and not seeing why it was so popular...

It's fun.
It's a rom com show that happens to have Superman.
That's why it's called Lois and Clark.
Take it on its own terms and it's goofy entertainment.

But I do think this has a better Lex than Gene Hackman.

It's called Lois and Clark as a play on the explorers Lewis and Clark.

I know but I recently tried watching the original series... couldn't sit through it. the obvious padding on George Reeves was just painful and the premise that the world's best newspaper is run by four people was just moronic.

The production values were smaller and there's only so much money they could spend back then. Not enough reason for me to dislike the 50s series. But Dean Cain's Clark is night and day more cleverer than Tom Welling's Clark. It's only in about Season 8 the writers make Clark slightly more intelligent than Homer Simpson.
