Over the weekend I started re-watching my DVDs of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. It’s been several years since I actually watched them and I was curious whether they would hold up.
Wow. Just watching Terri Hatcher and Dean Cain interact as Lois & Clark is still a joy to behold. Those two have unbelievable chemistry. Yes, I said have because I saw a Comic-con interview of them from 2018 or 2019 and it’s still there. 25 years later.
Oh, there are other TV series that I loved before and after but Lois & Clark is special to me for a lot of reasons. It’s the one that introduced me to online fandoms. We got our first computer with Internet access about the time Lois & Clark premiered. So it was only natural that I ended up looking for forums related to it. And boy did I find what I didn’t know I was looking for. Some of those forums are even still around 26+ years after the show premiered.
It’s also the only TV series I wrote fanfiction about. That’s not to say that others haven’t inspired the old “what if” ideas to grow. Just that I’ve never felt compelled to actually write them down. Until Lois & Clark.
There’s something magical about Lois & Clark. So much so that I’m actually considering doing a series of re-watch posts, if not for all the episodes, then at least for some of my favorites.
So are there any other Lois & Clark fans out there?
