Synopsis
Building on the Superman myth, this television series from the 1990s centres on the young adult life of Clark Kent (Dean Cain) in the modern-day city of Metropolis. While struggling to balance his Superman duties with his job working for the Daily Planet, Kent meets and falls in love with fellow reporter Lois Lane. When news breaks of Superman's existence, Lane becomes smitten with the elusive superhero, but fails to recognise that Kent and Superman are one and the same! This short-sightedness leads her to refuse Kent's romantic advances in a cunning twist of irony. Driven by this odd romantic triangle of sorts, the show's first series also focuses on life around the Daily Planet office, and Superman's battles with a whole host of villains, making it part-romance, part-action adventure.

Customer Reviews

A timeless classic
This is one of the best TV series ever made. There have been other TV series based on the Superman legend but in my opinion, none can compare to this series. Here we get acquainted with Clark Kent as a regular guy from Smallville Kansas with two very loving parents(Martha and Jonathan Kent ) who brought him up well with good values. We follow his journey of self discovery of what he can do - being SUPERMAN and the complexities of his love life as he tries to balance being Clark Kent and Superman as both aspects of his Ego wreak havoc on his love life and his day to day life. Dean Cain as Superman is awesome and so is Teri Hatcher's Lois Lane. What makes this series so good is that the Cast ensemble is one if the best ever and the chemistry between all the characters works so well. There is something for everyone: comedy, romance, drama, science fiction, action, you name it. It is not very often that a TV series combines so many genre in one go, but this does. This is really a timeless classic and you never get tired watching it. The DVD has great special features- interviews with Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain, commentary on the pilot etc. You can't go wrong with this series but to fully appreciate one of the greatest love stories you have to view the rest of the seasons.

Great tv series :)
"Louis & Clark: the new adventures of Superman" is a tv series first aired in 1993, that lasted 4 seasons. That might be a relatively short time, but it was enough to make me a fan. If you are another fan of the series, you will understand what I'm talking about, and why this dvd is a very good purchase. If not, I will try to explain it to you.

I will start by telling you about the plot. Of course, this series is about Superman/Clark Kent (played by a very handsome Dean Cain) and his struggle to save the world from Lex Luthor (John Shea), while falling in love with Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher). It is highly likely that you are already bored by this premise, specially considering that you have probably already watched some "Superman" movies, and maybe even "Smallville" (the new tv series featuring a teen Superman). However, I think that "Louis & Clark: the new adventures of Superman" is worth your time, due to the fact that it is:

a) different to the movies and "Smallville".
b) engaging and funny, it starts well with the first season, and gets even better later.

All in all, I think that you should give this tv series a try. However, bear in mind that this dvd includes merely the episodes of the first season. From my point of view, that is barely enough to show you what the series is about: you will want more :)

Dean Cain, sheer brilliantance as Superman! Best ever!
I have already reviewed this box set but for the american dvd box set, but all I am going to quickly say is that this is a must have! In my opinion the best superman actors ever, Dean Cain, best Superman ever, Teri Hatcher(sexy!!) Best Lois Lane ever and the rest of the actors are just superb! This has it all, love, action and adventure stories and also a lot of funny bits too! Very good stories and villans to watch and this is just the first season!! This is a 5 out of 5 and I wish this was still being made today as it was a hit and always will be! Yeah Smallville is good but in my opinion this is better! A must buy for superman fans!
