- A great start...
Season 1 was a great start to the series. It set up solid foundations for all the characters and really brought you into their world, their problems, and desires. I loved John Shea as Lex Luthor. He comes back briefly in Season 2 and 3 but mainly appears in this first season. He makes a worthy and exciting adversary for Superman. The lightheartedness, growing love story and exceptional chemistry between the actors is what makes this show. I highly recommend purchasing this DVD...then buy season 2 and enjoy watching them take the relationship to the next level.

- Better than Smallville ever will be.
Let's face it, Lois and Clark is much more (at least in my opinion) faithful to how the superman story should be told. Smallville just doesn't make me think of the Superman legacy. Lois and Clark however retains a light hearted factor in most of its episodes without ever becoming cheesy or hokey. In effect, Lois and Clark is a show for Grownups, whilst Smallville is a show for teens with bad taste in music. The most refreshing thing about Lois and Clark is we get to see actors over 25 playing all the roles (Except for Justin Whalin maybe). Smallville just has way too much of a teenager's mentality to it, which gets very annoying after a while. That and they seem to break out the kryptonite every other 3rd episode on Smallville (You mean Superman's only weakness is kryptonite?) Lois and Clark like I mentioned isn't drop dead serious, it's a lot of fun. Men will love Teri Hatcher in her pre-desperate housewives role as the oversexed Lois Lane, and Women will no doubt love the endlessly charming Dean Cain and his great portrayal of superman. This is a show that got it all right, up to the very end but that is a story for another DVD set review.

- Pure fun!
Used to put the kids to bed right in the middle of this show (what a cruel mom). They always asked, "What happened?" "Superman saved the day." So we got them the DVD set for Christmas as a bit of a joke (DS20, DD17, DS15). They LOVE it! It is so much fun to see them get all the nuances and DD is totally into the romance.

Good, clean fun and beautifully filmed. Worthwhile commentaries and bonus features. Plenty of good-natured humor on a foundation of "it's good to be nice" without being syrupy. A+ to creator Deborah Joy Levine and company!

PS- Kids went and bought season 2 the day it came out. Waiting for next seasons. :)

- Sperman fan in Mexico
I am Mexican and I got to see this show on the Warner Channel here at home. I'm a Superman fan since the comic "The Death of Superman" came out here in Mexico. Since then anything to do with Superman caught my attention.
This new perspective on the Superman caracter makes him more human and therefore suceptible to the only woman who has ever caught his attention, Lois Lane. Every Superman fan knows she's his true love, all the movies take in on that and also in the comic book there's "The Wedding of Superman"
I'm a romantic at heart and this series is great because you get to see real human feelings in Superman and his inner conflicts regarding Lois and his career as super hero.
It is a great thing that fans of the series can now get it on DVD, even if it's thanks to Teri Hatcher's soaring career.
Here in Mexico we also are fans of the series and hope to see it complete on DVD.

- Lois & Clark: The Best!!
Out of all the superheroes, I would have to say that Superman has always been my favorite. I was just ten years old when Lois & Clark first debuted on TV. I was too young for all the romantic stuff and it was on past my bedtime, but now that I'm older, I appriciate it more. What refrehing changes! The characters genuinely care for one another, the characters are stronger and how about Lane Smith as Perry White; the best! Lex Luthor has been remade as a smart, suave fellow, but still evil. A smart, well written series. I can't wait for season two on Jan. 17th!
