93-97, honestly, why is it the best Sci-Fi shows are only 4 seasons if you're lucky? And this one didn't even get 4 seasons and a movie. It just... ended. It was a shame.

We need to be honest here, Dean Cain was a great Superman and an even better Clark Kent. He did it well, and was able to be the bumbling Clark, the courageous hero... and the relationship guy, which was sort of the draw to it, and the reason it's title was "Lois & Clark."

At the heart, it was a show about a relationship, and one marred by the pitfalls of.... living with a super hero. That was a good pitch right there, that added something to the genre that you never really saw before, and Clark was excellent for the role.

I loved the take, and (unlike Snyder) it was done right. Superman is a light character. He's not a dark and brooding character, he's light and fun, and this was able to balance adult relationship comedy with kid friendly super hero show.

It walked a fine line, but it did it deftly and with more class and originality than you see in the new comic book fare.
