"Who, dressed as Clark Kent..."

Often criticized as the weakest interpretation of the Superman mythology, I believe Lois & Clark should be taken for what it is-- simply a [i]different[/i] interpretation of the mythology. In most Superman incarnations, Superman is the character and Clark Kent is the disguise. In Lois and Clark, Clark Kent is the character, and Superman is his disguise. This point is illustrated clearly by a quote from later in the series, "Clark Kent is who I am. Superman is what I can do." However, the first season set the tone for the rest of the series. Most, if not all of the main characters are memorable and even lovable. Even Teri Hatcher's performance as Lois Lane became a benchmark for the character and was essential for the sexual tension that drove the show. I strongly recommend Season 1 for any Superman fan as well as any fan of romantic comedy.
