KryptonSite Celebrates 10 Years of Lois & Clark
Before there was Smallville, the Superman series flying through the television airwaves was ABC's Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

The series premiered ten years ago today, on September 12, 1993, and lasted for four seasons. Lois & Clark in a way also served to inspire this very website, as KryptonSite was a spinoff of the Planet Krypton e-mail newsletter, which itself was originally the newsletter of the "Lois & Clark Krypton Club."

To celebrate, KryptonSite has done a special retrospective on L&C. Included are some interviews with some cast and people associated with the production of the show, an episode guide and photo gallery, and many things to take you back to the time where Clark Kent was just a "hack from Smallville," Lois Lane was a "little tornado," and there was no such word as chumpy.

What are you waiting for? Check it out!
