[CConn]

It was way better written.

STM features entirely non-threatening villains, a totally implausible third act, and has ungodly campy dialogue to boot.

TIH could be damn campy too, but it's episodes generally had more threatening antagonists, and every episode always had a strong element of emotional resonance and meaning.

Hell, even as great as Chris Reeve was, Bill Bixby showed a lot more range and emotion in his performances as Bruce Banner.
