"Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" was a phenomenal television success. A much more lavish version of the popular Superman television series which had first aired forty years earlier, "Lois & Clark" focused more on the Man of Steel's early adult years in Metropolis.

The show features the two main characters, Bobby Tannen, a once-famous former football player gone to seed (O'Neal) and Gayle Roberts, an ex-Miss America (Fawcett), as mismatched anchors on an all-sports cable network, Mr. Downtown Bobby Tannen and Ms. Gayle Roberts. Bobby is a self-possessed jock, constantly worried about himself and his image. Gayle is the more down to earth and level-headed of the two. Both characters were concerned with the ratings of their sports show, outwardly disliking each other but nonetheless mutually attracted.

They came to Earth, disguised as friends. But instead, they took the planet's water and its people for food. But there's a resistance... to save the people and the planet. These two miniseries are followed by V: The Series.
