This show had camp value but not much else. Lane Smith's Perry White would have been good if not for the Elvis obsession. Landes did a great job as Jimmy, as did Shea as Luthor. Cain was okay as Clark Kent, but as someone else said, his Superman was basically just Clark with a cape. One of the things that really annoys me about Dean Cain's performance is actually more a fault of John Byrne, who's revamp obviously fueled a lot of this series. And that's the fact that Clark is far too confident, cocky, too much of a go-getter. He's not mild mannered in any sense of that term. Granted, Christopher Reeve's Clark could be over the top at times, but Routh struck a nice balance of being quiet and reserved and a bit bumbling, but more or less basically a wallflower.
But please, do not get me started on Teri Hatcher's incredibly horrid depiction of Lois. Far too daytime soapish. And the villains on the show, with the exception of Luthor, were too ridiculous for words.
