From rivals to romance: The making of Lois and Clark

[@willlauzon3744]

Also the showrunner (?) not being fully understanding of the comics but grasping the core concept is a win. People say superman is his identidy and clark is the disguise is wrong. Bruce wayne is the disguise and Batman is the perosn. But she got that when dean cain said " clark is who i am. Suoerman is what i can do", and that always stuck with me.

[@Concetta20]

I really love how they wrote Lois and Clark's friendship and partnership as reporters, it was so sweet and well written, which then made the romance so awesome.

[@blueblur2273]

Unfortantely that was the only thing that was well written. The plots and villains were awful

[@greenpea957]

Still the best chemistry of clois ever. This show was the first time I know about romance when I was 8 lol

[@Bobbywoodhogan]

Yes definitely

[@nickynicks_]

My favorite is Smallville’s Clois, but I appreciate this version and the fact that there was (thankfully) no Clana drama and interference

[@Veronica-kd9cb]

Yesss! I was totally cray about Dean and Teri and still am!! 😚

[@Concetta20]

They basically brought back the Lois of the early ‘40’s and made her even better. They were rivals for in the early comics. I loved that this Lois is so capable yet doesn’t have everything together.

[@katerina_atsa_nails]

It started when I was seven and practically the story feels like it has just been written. It's such a clever composition of Superman's life and how he managed to live as Clark, so easy, having romance, a job, a family and finally the love of his life.

[@chrisdiver6224]

The adventure part of the plot could be somewhat comic-bookie, but the conversations they had, as two serious adults, about the challenges of making a relationship work, were just stunningly real, unprecedented. Wonderful.

[@rebeccaalonso8264]

Happy 25th Anniversary Lois & Clark !!! September 12,1993- June 14, 1997

[@treovercoakley2404]

I remember watching them as a kid in the 1990s

[@geeked-outturtlesfan4288]

While the girls swoon and drooled over Dean Cain.... guys fell for the strong, independent, beautiful Teri Hatcher. We all watched their back and forth banter and loved it. People don't give this show enough credit for how different and innovative it was.

[@r6-AgentScorpionParkerKRider23]

Yep and when I found out this how was going to be done, I was young and I was pissed. Made me realize at a young age how great shows are important to keep around. Because some of the crap I see today is just ughhhh....this show for me set the stage for me to appreciate Smallville a completely different show and other great shows of all types

[@pennyboulton9676]

Margot Kidder used to be my favourite Lois Lane. Then Teri Hatcher walked in. No actress since Teri Hatcher have matched her portal of Lois Lane on both tv and movie. Teri Hatcher is my favourite Lois Lane by far.

[@tracyleesmith781]

I remembered I was glued to that show, every Sunday night at 7pm. I was hoping & praying very hard that Lois & Clark would finally kiss. I was miserable & screaming that my family thought I was a crazy person. I was 11 when that show started. So now I do have all of the dvds. I really really appreciate Lois & Clark for being one of the best shows of all time during the 90s.❤️💙💛

[@katerina_atsa_nails]

Dean Cain and Lois Lane are actually the only two people that anyone will think like, ever, as Lois and Clark. ❤️❤️

[@emmajs8895]

I also love the idea that Lois and Clark don't realize yet they already love each other! that is so romantic, all the more interesting that Teri and Dean are very good actors. They were (still are) the best Lois Lane and Clark Kent ever!

[@Concetta20]

I loved this series! I think it's been my favorite version of the Superman story. I loved the fact that Clark was who Superman really was and Superman was more of his alter-ego. I think that's the first time that was done.

[@natf7942]

I can't say I keep up with much Superman stuff outside of this show other than dabbling with the movies, but I love that they focus on Clark, it's what really makes the show. Clark is relatable and shows us his humanity instead of the god-ness of Superman so having him as the main focus instead of Superman is definitely the better way to do it imo.

[@KrazyKryptonian]

Outside of the comics, yes it was the first time it was done (although the George Reeves TV series also spent a lot of time with Kal-El as Clark Kent). In the comics though, the emphasis on Clark as Kal-El’s primary identity had taken place nearly a decade before Lois & Clark aired with John Byrne’s Man of Steel miniseries, which brought the character of Superman into the modern era.

[@thewildbruce5612]

@@natf7942 Then you should watch Smallville! It focuses on a young Clark Kent, as he grows up from a teenager going through high school and battling his inner demons and how he reacts, when he first gets his superhuman powers, before he becomes Superman.

[@natf7942]

@@thewildbruce5612 I did watch Smallville for a while when it was airing, the first couple of seasons and then I'd occasionally catch an episode later down the line, but it didn't really hold my attention to watch all 10 seasons. I did catch a lot of the last season since he and Lois got together though, as I always love those two together. :)

[@tinahuttner7280]

loved series, the fact how they wrote her, independent but yet in the end she was able to love Clark and be his life partner.

[@littlered1666]

Really lovely little docu for a series I grew up with and I didn’t truly appreciate until my recent rewatch. My parents used to take the piss out of me for loving it as a 13-14 yo, fact is I look at Lois and the story of her and Clark and the overarching message and think what was their problem? Lois and to a lesser degree scully were my role models and Clark was my first character crush, they were my first ship and there was nothing wrong with that. Lois made me into what I am today, a writer and journalist, I don’t think I realised where that initially sprang from until recently.

[@Craigers8637]

Definitely Dean Cain will always be the best Clark Kent and Teri Hatcher will be the best Lois Lane of all, the chemistry between them was (is) perfect !! The way Dean refers to the choice of Lois Lane perfect, by the kiss, that Teri had the best kiss among all .... Uhhhhhu !!!

You should watch Smallville.

I don't know if Dean Cain or Tom Welling's Clark Kent is better, because I like them equally. But Teri Hatcher was/is definitely the BEST Lois Lane of all time! She's got the greatest personality and is also the most beautiful Lois Lane of them all!

[@AdmiralBison]

I really liked this show's light and fun take on the relationship between Lois Lane and Clark Kent. It's sort of like the scenes with Lois and Superman in the old Superman movies, but centered around the two characters in a tv format.

[@Fantom6400]

3:10 - Actually Gerard Christopher (SuperBoy) originally had won the casting to play the SuperMan role but when LeVine’s producers found out that he had already worked for Alex & Ilya Salkind’s SuperBoy series, they later told him; “ You’ve done this already!!! ...Why would you wanna do it again??? “. At least by that time Gerard had already gained a good amount of experience on SuperBoy.

In the Tempus Fugitive episode, when they travel back to 1966! Clark: “You think it was easy for me to watch you swoon over Superman at the same time ignoring me?” Lois: “That's ridiculous, you are Superman!” Clark: “No, Superman is what I can do, Clark is who I am!”

​@@jaserjsk not really. These series are not canon. They made Clark the real person and Superman was his disguise, period. And even in canon, Kal-El was not born as Superman. He got powers because of our sun.

Thats what love is. That and WANTING to murder your wife but knowing you never would. Love is extreame. Ill never forget when my ex bought the magikarp. Bought $900 worth of skin care shit from some dude at a mall kiosk. No refund. Also no rent cause she spent it. I was so PISSED. i marched up to the kiosk, returned 90% of it cash, marched home. She had my favourite meal prepared and a back rub. Instantly all was forgiven. Yeah she did something stupid and i had a minor panoc attack over the rent but she knew she fucked up and made up for it. Thats love.
