Superman just doing heroic shit is boring to most people.
The romantic comedy aspects made the show interesting to a wider audience.
Plus Teri Hatcher is my 90's waifu.
>Confused as to why Lex had hair for the majority of the show's run, barring a single episode where he came back after recovering from his Season 1 death
The Superman/Lois relationship has always worked best as a screwball comedy. Thats lost on newer generations or those that aren't film nerds. Reeve and Kidder could've been in one of those 70's classic movie nostalgia revivals and worked perfectly.
This sort of thing is honestly why I'm tentatively excited for that new animated show that got announced. Apparently it's being pitched as "a romcom with punching" and focused more on the civilian side of the lives of Lois, Clark, and Jimmy than world-ending threats and the, frankly, more boring side of the Superman mythos. If it can pull some interesting investigative stuff as well, it'll be basically everything I'm looking for in a Superman story, but it's gotta be well-written to do it right.
I liked the show, but at the same time I kinda felt like this was the least convincing out of all Superman media in regards to Superman's secret identity.

I don't think it has to be as extreme as the Silver Age comics or the Reeves films, but I do think there has to be a semi-strong distinction between Clark Kent and Superman. Like just enough that you can almost sorta kinda pretend that maybe the glasses really are enough to fool people.
Superman: The Quest For A Piece Of Pussy
This show rules though hehe, watched it like a year ago. I love it. It's funny how sexualized all the old promos for it are, you know those two fricked
Why do you think Lois Lane comics of the Silver Age were some of the best-selling comics back then?
FYI Superman was always a romcom.
It was a RomCom with two fisted journalism and political commentary.
Frankly, sometimes it amazes me that it did as well as it did.
It was successful because of that. The romcom elements being SHIT in modern superman is why modern superman sucks.

This the Clark and Lois dynamic feels very much like a classic comedic double act

The Superman version of MJ loves Spiderman?
What?
They're moronic.
Pay no heed

They made fun of Teri Hatcher for it on night time TV.

I still feel bad for the main actor having to deal with hate back then

They hated each other
Teri Hatcher was diddled by her uncle or something and it made her a BPD lunatic, the cast of Desperate Housewives hated her too
Great breasts though.
The kind of woman you hatefrick into submission and give her the backhand when she steps out of line
