Chris Reeve was not my ideal Superman, nor Clark, tho IMO Gene Hackman made a superb Lex. I'd count them examples of what not to do.

(Soles was the only one I recall, & that in part because his daughter, P.J., was in "Humongous". I recall watching them as a kid, & even then, I was pretty sure they were no good. It might move him toward actual SF writers for screen stories, which can only help.

) They spent the whole budget on the miniature for Galactica & forgot they needed writers. (Who was no better in "The A-Team", where his inability to actually act was less important. "Galactica" had Lorne Greene, John Colicos, Richard Hatch, Terry Carter, & a character from Moby Dick. ) TOS at least had a major, pivotal character who was obviously alien, & other recurring aliens. That also had the stupid "evolving into energy forms". And there was at least the pretense of non-Earth civilizations in TOS, while the very goal of "Galactica" was the "mythical lost planet of Atlantis". I felt as if it was a trifle more subtle in TOS. Nope, just raising the issue in case you missed it.
