Though it was only 13 years ago, I feel like an old-man talking about this show. I was eight-years-old when it debuted on television, and remember taping the pilot episode so I could watch it the next day. It's yet another show from my childhood that I've rediscovered thanks to DVD.Though I was a Superman fan prior to the series, Christopher Reeve's last outing as Supes was in 1987, so for at least at couple of years Dean Cain was the most familiar Superman to me. That said, Cain made a respectable Superman, but often came across as a little too goody-goody. Consider in season two's A Bolt from the Blue, Supes continually preaches to a dork with new found powers about the responsibilities and how he should use his powers for good, and not using his x-ray vision to spy on girls. His Clark Kent was much better. Instead of playing Clark like a super-nerd as Reeve did, Cain made the character much more modern. As for Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane, she was probably the best reason to watch the show.
As the title implies, the show is more about Clark than Superman, who appears sporadically. The show peaked during its second season, featuring episodes ranging from thug John Corben becoming Metallo to traveling back to 1866 Smallville to the return of a familiar villain in The Phoenix. Overall, the series remained enjoyable with a sense of humor, especially the endless supply of excuses Clark would come up with when he had to suddenly run away to stop a crime. The series also benefited from a good supporting cast and roster of guest stars. Lane Smith, without question, made the best Perry White and his Elvis obsession proved amusing. Despite the limitations of television, the visual effects were not that great and most moments of Superman flying away are simply a shot of his cape whooshing across the screen with a similar sound effect. Also some episodes and moments struck me as aggravatingly stupid. In Pheromone, My Lovely (season one), a perfume sprayed throughout the Daily Planet offices causes everybody to fall in love with oh-so goofy results. Also, the creative team behind the show fooled around with Superman's powers more than once. In one episode, he has trouble stopping a subway train and learns Kung-Fu in another. Does Supes really need to learn Karate?
