What happens

The first season of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman originally aired between September 12, 1993 and May 8, 1994, beginning with "Pilot". The series loosely follows writer John Byrne's concept of Clark Kent as the true personality and Superman as a secondary disguise. As the show's title suggests, it focuses on the relationship between Clark Kent and Lois Lane. The central characters in season one are Dean Cain as Clark Kent (Superman), Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane, Lane Smith as Perry White, Eddie Jones as Jonathan Kent, K Callan as Martha Kent, Michael Landes as Jimmy Olsen, Tracy Scoggins as Cat Grant, and John Shea as Lex Luthor. The first season was moderately successful, earning the cast (especially Hatcher and Cain) critical praise for their performances. Lane Smith was popular, breathing life and humor into Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White. John Shea was praised for his portrayal of Lex Luthor. Michael Landes' modern-day take on Jimmy Olsen attracted a cult following, as did Tracy Scoggins' comedic portrayal of Cat Grant, a more recent addition to the Superman mythos. Lex Luthor was killed off in the season finale after a disagreement between Shea and the producers about the actor's commute between New York and Los Angeles. He then reappeared only sporadically: once in season two, twice in season three, and once in season four. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
