Some Excerpts
I've been watching Lois and Clark since the late spring of 1998. I wandered into the family room to check on my children and they were watching it in reruns on TNT. One of them had a crush on Teri at the time. The other one said, "Mom, you should watch this show. You'd like it a lot." So I sat down and watched it, and they were right. I did like it a lot. I vaguely remember having heard about it when it first came on in 1993, but it was on Sunday night at the same time as the Simpsons, which was the TV show of choice with two kids at that time.
I love the relationship between Lois and Clark. I have always been drawn to movies, television shows and fiction in which the male and female characters have a strong partnership. If they work together, it's an added bonus. So I loved "Hart to Hart," "The Thin Man" and all its sequels, and "The Scarlet Pimpernel." The secret identity facet to the Lois and Clark relationship is also fascinating to watch. It was alternately intriguing and comical to watch Clark trying to manage the "triangle" before Lois was in on his secret. After that point, I enjoy watching her help him be Superman, which she had always done unwittingly; but it's more interesting to me to see her do it as an equal partner. I also love the repartee between the two on the show, and I try to work that kind of dialogue into my stories.
