Agree.
He just didn't look like Superman.

Agree...my friends and I miss the 90's haha but yea we all liked the show back then so I guess it may be a thing about watching it when you were younger versus watching it as an older person. Though I still like going back and watching it now that I'm older

Would you settle for Scott Peterson in Cryo-Freeze in Demolition Man?

Re: Dean Cain as Superman?
Yes, as long as he has a Dean Cain likeness. Would be a nice con Hot Toys exclusive 2-pack next year with U.S. President Schwarzenegger.

Re: Dean Cain as Superman?
I liked Lois and Clark. It was great for it's time on television.
I'd like to see a George Reeves as Superman before Cain.

It was a chick show, and the producers made no apoologies about it! 
It felt more like a romance show more than a superhero show, but it wasn't that bad. I never felt like it was aimed at me as a fan. Terri Hatcher as Ultra Woman in one episode was the only thing I liked about it.
Dean Cain never felt like Superman to me. He always looked like a boy dressed as Superman, not the real deal like Reeve. To this day I never think of him as Supes, just Scott Peterson.
No interest in a figure bearing his likeness.

Re: Dean Cain as Superman?
Hope I don't offend anyone when I say this, but I always thought he was too "ethnic" looking to play Superman

Re: Dean Cain as Superman?
I don't even remember watching the show. I probably did but I must have blocked it from memory.

Yep. I enjoyed the show in my youth and he did a good job.

Re: Dean Cain as Superman?
He was a total miscast as Superman, I could never believe he was the man of steel. I will say in his defence, that Dean Cain and most of the other cast acted well, but I really did not like the show's storylines either, and the special effects were rubbish too.
