At a recent chat, a WB representative said to expect more "Lois & Clark" in 2006. Let's hope it's sooner in the year rather than later, because after watching Season 1, I cannot wait for more!
Season 1 has always been my least favorite of the seasons (Season 3 being the best), but the entire show was still excellent. This season was so much fun to watch! Highlights include the 2-part season ender, where Lois rejects Clark and Superman rejects Lois, and "Honeymoon in Metropolis," which is pure fun ("There's no such word as 'chumpy'"). But they're all worth watching over and over again.
The casting couldn't have been better. Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain had awesome chemistry that kept us wanting more; Lane Smith (Perry White) was a hoot with his plethora of Elvis references; the extremely talented John Shea was born to play a villian, delivering his lines perfectly as Lex Luthor; Michael Landes and Tracy Scoggins (Jimmy Olsen and Cat Grant) made for amusing supporting players; and K Callen and Eddie Jones were perfect as Clark's supportive and loveable parents.
If you are considering purchasing this season, by all means go for it! They only wave of disappointment that overcame me during the viewing occurred at the last episode's conclusion, when I realized that there were no more episodes to watch, and I would have to wait at least six months for the next season.
Season 2 is even better, so hurry the heck up Warner Bros.!

SOME MEMORABLE QUOTES.....
LOIS: Don't fall for me farmboy. I don't have time for it.
***
LOIS: I don't think I can trust Clark anymore.
PERRY: Would you care to tell me why?
LOIS: He lied to me.
PERRY: Oh. Well, uh, don't you lie to him?
LOIS: Of course I lie to him. All the time!
PERRY: Ooh, I'm just not going to go near that.
***
LOIS: He's a man; I'm a woman. Do you want me to draw you a diagram?
***
CLARK: I just wanted to say goodbye.
LOIS: Goodbye? We're partners.
CLARK: You don't need a partner Lois, you never did.
LOIS: Well, maybe not, but I was starting to like having one.
***
LOIS: I said nine, I thought you'd be naked, umm, ready.
***
CLARK: Lois has a pair of Superman pajamas.
MARTHA: You saw Lois in her pajamas?
CLARK: No! Well, yes, but it was an accident, when her robe came undone.
***
LOIS: Mrs. Lex Luthor. Lois Lane Luthor. Lois Luthor Lane. Lois... Lane... Kent.
***
LOIS: And let's get something straight, I did not work my buns off to become an investigative reporter for the Daily Planet just to baby-sit some hack from Nowheresville! And another thing, you are not working with me, you are working for me. I call the shots, I ask the questions. You are low man - I am top banana and that's the way I like it, comprende?
CLARK: You like to be on top. Got it.
LOIS: Don't push me Kent, you are way out of your league.
***
LOIS: Well, what he can't do, it doesn't matter. 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 just wish that I could tell him that.
***
PERRY: "I love the smell of fear in the newsroom."
***
LOIS: [to Clark] All right, maybe, somewhere very deep inside me is some eensy-weensy, microcosmic - although highly unlikely - possibility that I feel some sort of unmotivated, completely unrealistic attraction to you.

I've been wanting this series on DVD for a long time. this is a really good price for a season of a tv series. DVD quality is very good and the extra features are thoroughly interesting. there are interviews with all the cast, plus explanations of the special effects used. I found this DVD set very entertaining for any fan of the show.

Whether you are or aren't a long term superman fan this DVD set is for you. It has romance, Drama and even some comedy included. The chemistry between the actors is fantastic, in my view the casting couldn't have been better. The special effects are not so good as they are over ten years old now but that aside I would highly reccomend it. There is commentry and interviews with most of the main characters in the special features which is a nice touch and compliments the set very well. Be warned once you start watching this it is hard to turn it off! Only one more thing to say... Bring on the season two box set!!

This DVD set is an excellent buy. The Episodes are detailed on the box with a description of each one. The episodes are 1 hour long each, so it's no surprise that there are only 3-4 on each disc. Each disc has an episode menu, and coupled with the descriptions on the box, it is extremely easy to pick out your favorite episode to watch.
This was a great show which was unfortunately and abruptly cancelled (Where'd that baby come from? The future?). The great acting of the cast and chemistry between Dean and Teri holds this show together without the need of introducing any major supervillains.
I personally can't wait for the next seasons to come out. Finally, a television series on DVD that is actually worth the money.
