I thought Lois and Clark was the closest they've ever gotten to the feel of the comic book. The first two seasons were especially good, Lex Luther being exceptionally evil.
It did start to go downhill into season 3 and when it got really bad it was terrible.
Smallville is smart and sexy but it ain't Superman. I can almost accept Lex in Smallville but Lois?!!! If he ever puts on a costume he's either going to have to wear a mask of put on a pair of goggles.
Lois and Clark wins it for me just because it's more like the comic.
Smallville is in general an okay show, but I prefer to watch Lois and Clark. At least, the first two and a half seasons. Although Dean Cain played a lackluster Superman, he only plays Superman for a few minutes per episode because the show isn't about Superman. I love his Clark Kent. Since its post-crisis, he's not a bumbling fool as a disguse, he plays Clark Kent to what 'mild mannered' really means. Dean Cain also added a subtle the square farmboy smallville side of Clark Kent that George Reeves didn't have.
The villains sans Lex Luthor were poor, but again, the show wasn't revolved around adverseries. Of course it would be nice if there were better ones.
I preferred the original Jimmy Olsen played by Michael Landes than the one that replaced him.

Too easy. Smallville definitely. The Lois and Clark show was all right, but Superman is not that short and I didn't think Lois was that hot. The sets were also very stage like.
Lois is more than just being "hot". Than again, you like Smallville better so of course you'd probably think that 😮

And be left without the best Lois Lane and Perry White portrayal by far? No, I'm very thankful for its existence 😉 Also, Michael Rosenbaum also mentions John Shea (who plays Lex Luthor on L&C) as an influence, so whether people here prefer Superboy 2001 or Lois and Clark, L&C is a major part of Superman in the media.
