Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman was a live-action weekly prime-time television series that aired for four seasons on the ABC network from September of 1993 to June of 1997. The series starred Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain in the titular roles of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, respectively. All four seasons of the series have been released on DVD, but only select episodes have been released on VHS, and none are available on Laserdisc or Blu-Ray.
The primary cast of the series included all of the characters commonly associated with the Superman mythos including, Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, Inspector Henderson and Ma and Pa Kent. Further, the series also included the character of Cat Grant (Tracy Scoggins), a relatively new character who was not introduced into the Superman comic books until 1987.[1] The series also showcased Superman's most notorious adversary Lex Luthor (played by John Shea). Luthor was the primary antagonist throughout season one, but left the series after his death in the season's final episode, "The House of Luthor". Seasons two through four had no primary antagonist, allowing Lois & Clark to spotlight several well-known villains from the Superman comics including Metallo, the Prankster and Mister Mxyzptlk, and to introduce new villains, most notably the time-traveling sociopath Tempus.
