I watched this every week and literally remember almost none of it. Lois was a good cast addition and the Luthors were great.
Lois and Clark actually have something that resembles chemistry, even if it is the "we bicker back and forth but you can tell we really care about each other" kind, but that's miles better than Lana and Clark's "We're in love because we're in love" bullshit.
(But since the show drags on for so many seasons Lois ends up with very little to actually do and is frequently disconnected from the rest of the cast, and again it's like, I wonder how people would have felt about a character like this if she weren't explicitly Lois Lane in a Superman story)
