I have seen both Smallville and the old school 90's action show Lois&Clark i understand these show's are not sitcoms but it had its moments when it had a little humor to it which show would you say is more enjoyable, better storyline plot, and which is more entertaining.

I think I enjoy small ville better I acutely think after the later episodes small villeg gotten better. . I enjoyed Lois and Clark then when the show started . but then after later episodes kind of gotten too silly.then after they starting dating and then after they got married it became too silly.

Smallville got better as they added more comic book elements as they went on. L&C was a romantic dramedy and didn't have much super heroics, and as the title suggests it mainly focused on Clark as opposed to Superman.

Loi&Clark is a Drama love story show its very diff'rent from the movies and the cartoon series Lois&Clark barely has any special effects in the show its sometimes slow paced, its a good show but Smallville is more entertaining and has more action pact episodes and alot of celebrity folks appear on the show, i enjoyed the episode where Tony Todd the guy from the candyman films appear in the season 1 episode where anything that he touches something bad happens.

I enjoy both "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" and "Smallville", but both are quite different interpretations of the Superman mythos. With L&C, there is a strong emphasis on the romantic relationship of Lois and Clark, as well as the superheroics of Superman. To be fair, that show actually added more and more comic book elements as it went along. I have the whole show on DVD and enjoy watching it a lot. It does a good job of balancing the relationship aspect along with the action moments. And it does have its fair share of special effects. But, as with any TV show, special effects are costly and so are usually limited.
"Smallville" is a take on Clark Kent growing up in Smallville, Kansas and developing his superpowers. The initial premise of the show was "no tights, no flights". They kind of found ways around that here and there, but the show generally stayed true to that. It definitely incorporated a ton of comic book elements, which was great, but it also had plenty of relationship drama.
"Smallville" was sort of based on comic books, but in many ways- it's just its own thing. I like it nonetheless in any case. I haven't seen all the episodes just yet- maybe one day.
But I love superhero shows in general and both are great, unique versions of my favorite fictional superheroes ever- Superman! (My favorite real superhero is Jesus Christ. Of course, Superman is a Christ figure- and that's why I love him so much too.)

(Of course, "The Adventures of Superman" and "Superboy" are great live action TV show versions of Superman too. And then there are tons of cartoons and live action movies and serials, of course. Christopher Reeve will probably always be my favorite rendition.)

The Smallville theme song has kinda a gospel music to me with the whole somebody save me the theme is very entertaining it fits the intro characters i must say lol, i always thought the Superman seemed similar to a Angel who has to fight demonic people on earth.

My favorite Superman TV show is "The Adventures of Superman" stariing George Reeves which originally aired in syndication in the 1950's!

Neutronman67 · 11-15-2013, 09:10 AM

Yeah i have seen the original episodes of the black and white Superman that came out in the 1950's its a clean version compared to Smallville or Lois&Clark i like the 1950's Superman intro its cool.

Good point- particularly about the "Save Me" theme song- that definitely has both physical and spiritual implications.
