Lois and Clark: The new Adventures of Superman

This series started in 1993 and ran about at least four seasons. I recently bought season three and four and have this week watched the complete season three.
I liked about it, that Lois is not just a strong character, as she usually is in the comics or films or whatever: she is a real person with faults and insecurities, but with great charm and whit as well.
And she was wonderfully portrayed by Teri Hatcher. Teri Hatcher I think is somehow undervalued as an actress, but this is my personal opinion.
Dean Cain is a very charming, definitely handsome guy, with talent and charm as well, as whit. So it was a good combination.

As I wrote, I recently watched it and I was surprised to find two topics, that had been generall discussed, at least in Germany: the first was - albeit it only in a headline - that the Democrats and the Republicans were at a standstill about the budget/etat, you name it. We had this in this year and it forced a lot of state-employees to stop work and go without payment.
The topic of a part was a guy from a secret service, who wanted to rule or the secret services in the states. His was called the NIBA. And he used a lot of bugs to be in the know of what is going on.
Now this was definitily discussed here, after it turned out, that Mrs. Merkels mobile phone had been bugged as well. 

I found it interesting, that these topics were brought into a TV-Series of the 90ies and to my oppinion, it must have been interesting then already. Though I was not interested in it.
Anyway: how many secret services does a country need? Just a question.

At any rate: Lois and Clark had adventure, intriegue, fun, romance, friendship and a lot of other things in it. I loved it and watched it, whenever I could. This being the reason for my buying the DVD-boxes. Took me the whole night and made me almost fall asleep at my desk. But I didn't. It did give me a major headache though. Not a nice thing to have. The reason, why I waited until now to write, had to let the headache disappear.

Nothing much else happened so far, so I will stop here, with a clip, that is related to L&C and not owned by me. Not, that you thought, it would be..
Before that though: what I wrote before are only statements, not judgements on happenings. Just to make it clear.
