It's one of those peculiar things where an actor is generally agreed to play "one side" better than the others. For example, some people say Keaton was a better Batman but Bale was a better Bruce Wayne.
For L&C, I've not met a lot of people who liked Dean Cain as Superman but everybody I talk to LOVED his Clark Kent.
And I agree.
Cain and Hatcher were perfect as Clark and Lois which I suppose makes sense since this show was sort of a comantic comedy first and a superhero show second. I watched Seasons 1-3 and loved them. I never did get Season 4....
I recall really liking Season 3 with my main complaint being that Teri's haircut was awful. Well, i didn't much care for it.
OH! And let us never forget L&C had frickin' Tony Jay in it. (may he rest in peace) I thought of him while recalling this show's version of Lex Luthor. Anybody else remember
Also in "Ides Of Metropolis," Lois and Clark go to interview Lex Luthor and find him skeet shooting off of his balcony... on the 110th floor of his building. When Clark asks him if he knows what could happen should he miss, Lex goes into a calm description of the lethal damage a falling clay pigeon could do before bragging that he never misses. At the end of the episode, we see him privately doing this again. He shares a good gloat over the episode's events with his butler, takes aim and... misses. With the funniest awkward-yet-still-somehow-stoic "oops" expression on his face as he watches plummet towards the unsuspecting public.
Lex: "Oops... Nigel? Call..."
Nigel: "The lawyers?"
Lex: "The lawyers."
Nigel (dryly): "Yes, right away sir."
And that's me. How about you all?
