Lois And Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman: Season 2 [DVD] [1994] [2006]

Kiss that is! This second season follows in the wake of Lex Luthor's death. But there are subtle differences from the first. This is more humorous and the storylines are more gripping, with the whole thing taking on a slightly more comic book feel, Lois’ clothes seem bolder, the villains more sinister, the plots wackier [bottling greed, cloning 1920’s gangsters etc.] the dialogue cornier. Above all it’s more fun.This set also shows that not all citizens favour Superman and there is love interest for the two main leads, but the real question follows on from the first series–will they date!! Thrown into the mix is the possibility that Luthor, disgraced in the first season, may still be alive and Superman even has doubts about himself–blimey! Needless to say it all ends in dramatic climax.The six disc set contains all 22 episodes and comes in a neat compact box. Once again making an ideal present for all ages and a fantastic family view meriting *****. What else can you do but view series 3?

This is unquestionably the best TV series of the Superman legend. Season two continues to delight where season one left off. The romantic tension between Clark, Lois and Superman is heightened to fever pitch. With the supposed death of Lex Luthor, Superman had new foes to vanquish not just the one in Lex Luthor. With a different bad guy in each episode or two, meant a lot of stunt casting or guest appearances by many big name stars - Emma Samms,, Denise Crosby, Michael Des Barres, Peter Scolari, Barry Livingstone, Bronson Pinchot, Peter Boyle, Sherman Hemsley, Isabel Sanford, Raquel Welch, Lane Davies, Terry Kiser, James Hong, Denise Richards, to mention but a few. But the hall mark of this season is the heightened tension between the Lois and Clark characters, excellently played by Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain. I think their portrayal of these characters is the best I have ever seen and the screen chemistry between Teri Hatchers' Lois Lane and Dean Cain's Clark Kent is incredible and very beautiful to see. What is even more interesting is that for all her seriousness as an investigative journalist, the Teri Hatchers' Lois Lane is pure comic relief, the banter and antics between her and Clark will leave you reeling.This DVD box set is also packed with special features - commentary on "Season's greedings" by Dean Cain - (he wrote the episode) and a feature on the fans of Lois and Clark. You can't go wrong with this box set. Enjoy.

I'm one of the reviewers who remembers when the series was first shown on TV and sat with my children watching it every week. I loved it as much as they did. This is the first time since then that I've been able to watch the whole thing through (series 1-3, am getting series 4 soon),and can say that it is as good now as it was then. Perhaps even better now, because I don't have to sit through the agony each week wondering will they or won't they? Another big change was to have both Clarks parents still alive,(traditionally Clarks dad died when he was young), a wonderful idead that produced a lot of memorable moments in all four series'.It helps to remember that at the time when Lois and Clark was first shown, the comic book line was that Clark and Lois Lane did not date and certainly did not even entertain the prospect of marriage, they were good friends, Lois only really had eyes for Superman and it had been that way for years. So, to see this 'rule book' being ripped up and thrown away was totally captivating. Right up until they finally got married for real, there was always the lingering doubt that it would end up towing the comic book line. How wonderful they didn't and finally had Clark and Lois get married!! Some time after that the comic book changed too and Clark and Lois got married.So, what we have here is a timeless story of romance played by two actors whose on screen chemistry as Clark Kent and Lois Lane is second to none. Certainly, Terri Hatcher is by far the best on screen Lois Lane there has been to date (including the new Superman returns film). Perhaps more controversially, I believe Dean Cain is far and away the best on screen Clark Kent there has been because as a 'real person' his Clark Kent is much more believable and down to earth. As Superman, he might not be able to make us believe a man can fly (that accolade still belongs very strongly to Christopher Reeves' Superman)due mostly to the fairly weak special effects that were used, but his Clark Kent remains unrivalled!!So, ignore the mostly dodgy special effects (although I still prefer how they do Superman's x-ray vision in Lois and Clark),some of the rather cheesey villians and their plots and enjoy the fun and romance that series 1-4 provide.It's still the best!!!
