While the superhero TV show market seems to be saturated now, in the 90s, there was one show that really stood out. Even if you didn't love superheroes, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman was just an awesome show.
When the show started in 1993, people didn't know what to expect. Superman had been away from the screen for a while and they did not know how this new angle would work. While Lois & Clark was a superhero show, it was also a romantic adventure and appealed to a wide range of audiences.
People loved Lois Lane, but her judgement was questionable. She falls in love with Superman, but not Clark Kent, leading to a lot of issues because Clark is very obviously in love with her. She ends up getting engaged to Lex Luther (the main villain in the show) but at the wedding she realized her feelings for Clark and leaves Luther at the alter.

Eventually, after many false starts and a clone wedding, the two characters got married, but even that wasn't enough to save the series. The show was supposed to go into season five, but when Teri Hatcher (Lois) became pregnant they didn't want to write it into the show, so they cancelled it.
The show ended on a bit of a cliffhanger with a random child turning up with a note saying that they were responsible for them now. Kind of a big thing to just leave without answers, isn't it?
Well, apparently the stars aren't done with the series either. They have some thoughts on what they would want to do if they were to continue the show...
With everything and anything being rebooted lately, it was really only a matter of time before the stars of one of the most popular 90s shows were asked about a potential remake.
Hatcher spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the show and the way she talked about it made it seem like there was a definite possibility.

“I know I have a lot of fans that would like to see the whole show rebooted, so maybe that’ll happen," She said. "Dean and I both still have really warm feelings about our whole experience on the show. So who knows?”
She's not the only star who is up for it. Dean Cain, Superman himself, thinks that they should make the fifth season.
“I would have liked to done that fifth season, I think we still need a fifth season, we need something, at least part of a fifth season. So I’m hoping that we get a chance to maybe finish up the series. Maybe it’s six episodes, maybe it’s 10 episodes, maybe it’s a two-hour movie. But I think it would be really interesting to catch up with these two characters twenty years down the line and see what’s happened in their lives. If they have had children or what’s going on with their kids, I think it’s really interesting and I’m certainly willing to.”
The executive producer Eugenie Ross-Leming, knows exactly what would have happened in the fifth season if it had been made.

“We didn’t write it as a series finale, it was just supposed to be a cliffhanger. Looking to create obstacles for them, we ended up saying that carrying a baby to term would kill Lois. But as fate — or intergalactic justice — would have it, a baby of Krypton lineage is left at their doorstep. If the show had gone on, we would have seen them figuring out how to raise this child, who would have aged rapidly. He would have become a teenager in months.”
Well, it's unlikely that a remake would be coming any time soon because there are already a whole bunch of other DC shows right now, but it's interesting to know what would have happened if they did!
Who else remembers planning their entire week based on when Beverly Hills: 90210 was going to be on TV? It wasn't like we could record it easily, blank VHS tapes were pricey, so we had to watch it when it was on or miss out. Watching Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Brandon, Donna, and everyone else hand out and get into all kinds of mayhem was the highlight of our weeks. When it ended, we were all a bit sad, but then they brought it back with a new spin-off. The new show tried to catch that same teen spirit, but
Home Improvement was one of the biggest shows of the 90s. It helped introduce a lot of us to Tim Allen, and more importantly for all of us who were pre-teen girls at the time, Johnathon Taylor Thomas. The show was extremely popular, and was one of the weekly must-watch shows that families would gather around the TV to enjoy together. Patricia Richardson starred as Jill Taylor, Tim's wife and mother to the rest of the Taylor crew. While she admitted that she loved working on the show, the actress declined the network's offer for the ninth season. Reports suggest
It's a sad day in the world of cartoons, as Nickelodeon has confirmed the passing of SpongeBob SquarePants creator Steven Hillenburg. The iconic TV show writer and producer with a long career and a hand in creating a lot of our favorite moments in animation. Hillenburg actually didn't go to school for television writing, instead studying "Natural Resource Planning and Interpretation with an emphasis on marine resources" according to Variety. Obviously, this would come into play later in his career. He started working in television after going back to school to study Experimental Animation, and eventually became a writer and
There are a few iconic storytellers we can all agree influenced our childhoods, and Roald Dahl is basically guaranteed to make everyone's list. His classic stories like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and James and the Giant Peach have been loved by children for decades. It doesn't matter if you're reading the book or watching one of the many movies based on one of his novels, because Dahl's ability to create these magical little worlds manages to transcend format and remain enjoyable no matter what.Dahl's characters are nothing short of iconic. Whether it's the six-year-old Matilda who has
