Seasonâs Greedings" (Season 2, Episode 9)
Seasons Greedings
âI never spanked you. I never had to. But right now, Iâd like to drop your britches and tan your hide like cheap leather.â
The seriesâ first and best Christmas episode was written by âClark Kentâ himself, Dean Cain. In a piece of stunt casting reuniting TVâs The Jeffersons, toyman Winslow Schott (Sherman Hemsley), with his assistant Ms. Duffy (Isabel Sanford) at his side, creates a toy that emits a spray that makes children and adults greedy, and the adults start acting like greedy children, which makes it even worse. Even Clark is affected by the Atomic Space Ratsâ spray, using his powers for naughtiness.
The Lois and Clark relationship also takes a giant leap forward in this episode, as the two characters end up spending a Christmas night together, holding hands underneath a Christmas tree. Lois might not have Superman (that she knows), but her shell around Clark is definitely cracking around this point.
âThe Phoenixâ (Season 2, Episode 13)
The Phoenix Lois Clark
âLois, Iâm just trying to ask you out. Iâm not trying to negotiate a nuclear arms treaty.â
The âvillain of the weekâ direction that Lois & Clark was taking in the first half of the showâs second season didnât seem to take, so the producers of the show finally started making more of an effort to get Lois and Clark together⌠and in this episode, Clark finally asks Lois out on a date, which was a big deal at a time to audiences even before âshippingâ was a thing with a quantifiable word to describe it.
This episode also brought Lex Luthor (John Shea) back to the series, and for the first time⌠heâs bald! In many ways, this episode was a game-changer and an indicator of some of the great things that would be coming to the series as Season 2 progressed.
âTempus Fugitiveâ (Season 2, Episode 18)
âHello! Duh! Clark Kent is Superman!â
Weâve all thought it: How could Lois Lane not realize that Clark Kent minus glaases is Superman?
According to Tempus, a rogue time traveler from a âboringâ Utopian future, children debated that very notion for centuries, even if Lois Lane was a revered figure in their future.
Without spoiling how this episode ends, it is the first time that Lois finds out the truth about Clark on the series, and it is probably the most realistic reaction that one would expect when someone special has been lying to her all these years.
Lane Daviesâ performance is great as Tempus, somewhat evoking memories of Doctor Whoâs Master, and the show would bring him back several times over the course of the next two seasons. Traveling through time in this episode is also a âreal-lifeâ H.G. Wells, portrayed by Weekend at Bernieâs actor Terry Kiser.
âWhine, Whine, Whineâ (Season 2, Episode 21)
Whine whine Whine
âIâm not going to run, Lois. Iâm ready to take the next step, if you are.â
This episode is memorable not only for the continued progress in evolving the Lois and Clark relationship, but also because of the star power making cameos in this installment, which involves a guitar player who decides to sue Superman after injuring his hand while being rescued.
Needless to say, greed is a foe that Superman isnât that great at fighting, as it is not a physical thing. Guest stars in this episode include Bruce Campbell, Ben Stein, Adam West, Frank Gorshin, Barbara Bosson, and Martin Mull, and there is a lot of meta humor about the current state of the series sprinkled within. Definitely not a âSuperman vs. supervillainsâ show, but absolutely a good watch.

Without missing anything
Cat Grant is gone
The role of Jimmy Olsen has been recast
The creator of Season.1 has bern fired.
Season.1 ends
With Clark telling Lois
That he had told her
That he loved her
Only to prevent
Her from
Marrying Lex Luthor
They agree to be
Friends and work partners
As
Clark explains to his parents
Lois likes Clark
But loves Supermam
Martha Kent
Notices he talks about
Superman in.the third person
Like he is different from Clark
Supermanâs actions toward
Lois are often not logical
In these episodes.
Superman has to appear in each episode.
Half the time
There is a reason for him
To contact Lois
The other half
He acts as if he has feelings
For Lois
Which gives Lois hope
That they can be a couple
Since Clark and Superman
Are the same person
And
Clark wants Lois to love him
As Clark not Superman
It is annoying when
Superman acts that way.
Other than that
Every female who meets Clark
Wants him immeduately.

Watched it. Gorshon just eats up that role. A mark of a good show is that it can take a nothing premise (Superman gets sued) and make a good episode out of it. Now, an ep from season 3?

Season 3
We Have A Lot To Talk About" (Season 3, Episode 1)
Also known as âThe One Where Lois Really Does Find Out Clarkâs Secret.â
In the Season 2 finale, after barely dating, Clark proposed to Lois⌠and in the Season 3 premiere, she answered: âWhoâs asking, Clark⌠or Superman?â Yes, Lois had finally figured things out, even if it took two years to put it all together, and sheâs not too happy with being lied to. There is a lot to talk about, but that might have to wait, as Bill Church and Intergang are causing trouble with bombs across Metropolis.
The episode introduces Jessica Collins as occasional villain Mindy Church and features the return of Peter Boyle as Bill Church and Bruce Campbell as his son, Bill Church Jr. (For some reason, the show used the Church family for Intergang rather than Morgan Edge who was known from the comics.) Fans would have to wait a little while for the couple to get engaged, but â spoiler alert! â it does happen.
âTempus, Anyone?â (Season 3, Episode 14)
This was the calm before the storm, and the frog-eating-clone wedding storyline that permanently derailed the series. âTempus, Anyone?â is a brilliant opportunity to explore an alternate universe, as Lois is transported to a world where Clark Kent never embraced his Superman side and was engaged to Lana Lang. Meanwhile, returning foe Tempus is running for Mayor of Metropolis against Perry White.
âTempus, Anyone?â is a great exploration of what the characters mean to each other, and gets Lois in the right headspace to finally marry Clark (or so she thinks.) Lane Davies again shines as Tempus, and Hamilton Camp takes over the role of H.G. Wells, who apparently regenerated somewhere along the line.

Read the LA Times. Some changes were probably good. Practical things like a better set for shooting. Switching Jimmyâs is no problem, but I like Tracy as Cat, and Cat Grant adds a friction to the Daily Planet it could use. More stunts and flying good too. But, what chucklelheaded monkey fart doesnât understand that Lex is the one villain Superman can never get rid of completely. Lex pulls strings behind the scenes, buys of judges, escapes from prison whatever it takes to keep back again and mess with Supes.

Thanks for this fantastic post. I just recently got into this show when I first got the DCUniverse app a couple years ago. Iâm a giant Superman fan, but Iâve strangely avoided this show when I was in college (I thought I was too cool⌠I really wasnât!).
So glad this show exists! I canât believe how spot on Dean Cain and Terri Hatcher are in their roles. Terri Hatcher has now become my definitive Lois Lane and I think Dean Cain is easily up there as one of the best Clark/Superman depictions ever! Their chemistry is great and the stories are good fun! Lex, Perry and Jimmy (I like the second actor to play Jimmy better) are all great as well.
I canât believe I missed out on this show when I was in college, I think I wouldâve eaten it up!
