Cheesy TV Goodness!

My friend Eve lent me her season 1 DVDs of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The special effects are totally terrible, and the plots are cheese-tastic but man, is it ever enjoyable to watch. I got the feeling I had when I used to watch it in high school. It is just popcorn TV. And man, is Dean Cain ever a dreamboat. LOL It's actually better than I remembered, but that is probably because its last season SUUUUUUCKED.
Plus, a fun game while watching old shows is to spot guest stars who have gone on to bigger and better things. Well, that might be overstating it! Most of the time, you just know them from another show. LOL Anyway, it entertains me to do this! So far, in the first 9 episodes of Lois and Clark, I've spotted Jerry Hardin (aka Deep Throat) [by the way, his daughter plays Jan on The Office, and she is totally gorgeous.], Sonny Bono, Courtney Peldon (aka the princess of fug), and Tom LaGrua (who played Remo on Caroline in The City). Yes, I totally used to watch Caroline in The City, and I loved it. I'm not sure I could explain why.
The reason I initially watched Desperate Housewives was because of residual good feelings about Teri Hatcher from Lois & Clark. My interest in Desperate Housewives quickly waned but Teri Hatcher is still in the black because of Lois & Clark. LOL

DVD hunt on Amazon: The X-Files Mythology: Vol. 1 - Abduction + Lois & Clark

I had to go check out Amazon as I am wont to do to see what wonderful books/CDs/DVDs are out there, waiting to draw me into their clutch. And what doesn't jump at me from the front page but...

The X-Files Mythology: Vol. 1 - Abduction We finally get an explanation! Errr, sort of. I'm not sure exactly what would be the lure of buying this for people who own all the boxsets already. Sure there are a few new commentaries but what hasn't been said already by people who have spent hours on message boards? I will confess I used to be one of them. LOL I only own season 1 DVDs but still... It would have gotten me all fired up and dancing-on-table excited 5 years ago. Now? Eh, not so much.

This on the other hand? Got me very excited! I used to luuuuurve Lois & Clark in all its cheesy glory. It had cool villains, a regular glass wearing guy/flying hero, very good supporting characters, and sizzling chemistry between the leads. Too bad they really ruined it towards the end. Nevertheless, the first few years rocked, and I haven't been able to see reruns of it anywhere. I shall rent them (I don't think I'd really rewatch them often) from my videostore to see it all again. Keeping my fingers crossed my videostore has bought this set. :)
