possibly-silly question... does "Original Pilot Presentation" mean the short version of the pilot, as opposed to the part 1/part 2 presentation that was made for reruns?
I hope so; that's only been aired once and if you didn't happen to have it on tape, you were stuck. Always interesting to see how they edited things.

Pam, when I saw that I assumed that they meant the "UK" version. If I understand it all correctly, this version has *all* scenes intact, whereas the version that they showed "originally" in September of 1993 has stuff that's missing from the reruns when they broke into 2 pieces. So I'd like all scenes on the DVD.
I never bought the few videos that were released by Columbia House, but I think it was the "UK" version that was used, right?

Does the commentary thing mean a voice-over by Dean Cain/ If only they had interviews with Teri as well...

The "commentary" for the FK DVDs was a voice-over narrating stuff about the production that you could turn on or off. I'm thinking that the LNC DVDs will have the same. And Kathy, I agree with you. <G> Seems to me that the "complete" pilot would be the uncut version.

I just found this on TVshowsonDVD.com Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman - Correction regarding bonus DVDs
Posted by Gord Lacey
3/16/2005
Yesterday I mentioned that Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Season 1 would come bundled with 2 bonus DVDs celebrating the 50th anniversay of Warner Television. That was incorrect; the set will come with one DVD containing "Crusade," the season premiere of Smallville season 4.
Sorry for the confusion this incorrect information may have caused. ...we get smallville...yuck.... Whats everyone think about this new development?

Whats everyone think about this new development? Well, have to admit that, generally speaking, I'm a little disappointed with the features anyway. I made the same assumption as Kathy on the 'original pilot' thing - which is hardly a bonus for us in the UK as we got that first time around.  The DC commentary will be interesting, of course, but I guess I've been pretty spoiled by Stargate's DVDs, where every single episode has a commentary. I know that's not the norm and so I should never expect it, but I was kind of hoping for more than just one episode having one. Since I already have the episodes on DVD, thanks to a very kind fan, I suspect I won't be rushing out to buy, but will get these eventually. Actually, that decision has nothing to do with the extras, was always pretty much the case - need to save up the pennies to afford them first. <G> LabRat

This was posted on Zoom\'s boards ... 1) Tonight WB Home Video had an online chat. A question was asked about the release of LnC. It went something like this:
Can you also tell us how far a part will you release LOIS & CLARK? Will Teri Hatcher be involved for the bonus material in future sets, as Dean Cain is for season one?
They answered something like this:
LOIS AND CLARK S1 which is coming this June contains special features including new Teri Hatcher interviews.You can expect more LOIS AND CLARK in 2006
---
2)
The question was something like this:
First, on behalf of the FoLCs, I'd like to thank Warner for releasing season one of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman on DVD. We'd like to know a few things, are there going to be outtakes, what about the aspect ratios on the Lois and Clark DVDs, and are there plans to release the other three seasons quickly? (Possible dates, please?)
Warner's answered something like this:
LOIS & CLARK will be 4x3. No outtakes, but EXCELLENT supplements are planned. Others will follow faster than a speeding bullet. 
If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

I, personally, was disgusted by the idea of them throwing a Smallville ep onto it. Naturally, the people on K-Site were mostly enthused by the idea. I hope I'm not breaking any rules by this: http://www.kryptonsite.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=970644#post970644 That's my post on the subject. I, for one, would LOVE to see outtakes. And have commentaries for every episode . . . and the SV people can just bide their time till the SV season 4 dvd comes out like they KNOW it will . . . *sighs* But I'm excited anyways--I'm hoping that that pilot thing means it has the scenes of Lois dressed up as a guy . . . I saw glimpses of that in the video advertising When Larry Met Charlie and was stunned, because I'd no clue that part existed.
Don't point. You make holes in the air and the faeries escape.

I agree with you that putting Smallville episodes in an L&C box set is disgusting. Why would I want to see the fourth season premiere of SV? I'd rather see something like introductory material to the upcoming Superman movie, even though the premise looks awful, or an unaired fifth season premiere of SV. While that's still bad, at least it's something no one's seen yet if their goal is to promote their shows.

I'm guessing they're thinking the 4th season opener of Smallville will be of interest to Lois & Clark fans because of the introduction of Lois' character. "Crusade" is actually a very decent episode, and even includes Margot Kidder's first appearance on the series ... but the best part is Erica Durance. Erica was, after all, a FoLC and said that she basically modeled her portrayal of Lois after Teri's version of the character. I know there are some here who don't like Smallville, but I do think there are reasons for the WB to include it. Unfortunately, we can't change it and if you don't want to watch the episode, you certainly don't have to! Let's just be happy that we're getting these DVDs at all, look forward to the extras that we *do have* and anticipate the extras we *will get* on future box sets!

Personally, I think the Smallville DVD would make a good coaster. Or maybe my dad could take it skeet shooting. Hm. I wonder how good of a frisbee it'd make.
