Yes that new krypton stuff surprisingly had me hooked. They really were pushing budget limits in there and upping everything. Plus it was kinda awesome to see Mallory from Family Ties show up!

I wondered who that was
Watched two more episodes
I found the wedding episode 3 bizarre
Episode 4 was good with Tempus and HG.Wells, set in Robin Hood and Wild West eras due to time travel.

Oh man I loved that Mxyzptlk episode! It was pretty excellent! I am a sucker for Christmas themed episodes.
I made an observation the other day as Iâm finishing up the fourth season. I feel like the Lois and Clark TV was such a good companion show to the Superman comics back then. They will take similar concepts from the comics but put their own spin to it. The awesome side effect for me now is that I start remembering and get nostalgic over the old 90âs comics! But I THINK if I was watching Lois and Clark back then? I wouldnât have liked it as much because back then I was still that annoying âbut thatâs not how it is in the comics!â Guy.

Finally watched all 87 episodes of Lois and Clark
The last episode ends with.a Cliffhanger to a fifth season that never happened.
It is like many episodes a mixture of drama comedy romance and a little Superman. The villain is ridiculous but Lois with.Clark is always good
One meta moment. Lois and Clark talk about adoption with a social worker. She gives each a score for suitability for being a foster parent. Clark gets a 97. Lois 17 because she is always in dangerous situation. The social worker thinks Lois is a âthrill seeker.â
Other interesting episodes

Earlier in the fourth season, ABC had announced and promised an additional fifth year of the show, so the showâs producers and writers were caught unprepared when ABC later changed its mind and decided that no new episodes would be produced. The series had weakened in its Sunday 8:00 timeslot and had been shifted to 7:00 in January, and finally a last-ditch move to Saturdays in the spring. The ratings dropped even further, and the show finished its last season at 104th place. ABC made up for its commitment with Warner Bros. by ordering thirteen episodes of a Debra Messing drama called Prey.

Ahâthe fifth season of Lois and Clark that never happened. It was one of the great TV cancellation tragedies. Where did the baby come from? Was it another orphan from Krypton? Or was it Lois and Clarkâs baby sent back from a near future that was under siege by Tempus? And if so, who sent the baby back in time? Was it H.G. Wells? Was it Doctor Klein? Or was it Lois and Clark, doing a Jor-El and Lara, in an attempt to save their child from an apocalyptic future?
Both Teri and Dean have recently stated they would like to revisit their classic show and put a coda on the series. With all the myriad DC shows coming (or rumored to be coming) to The Arrowverse and HBOMAX, letâs hope some room can be found for a limited series, 21st century, LOIS and CLARK entry on their schedule.

Of course, Teri and Dean were great, but the supporting cast was equally fantastic. Lane Smith is the best live-action Perry White. And K Callan and Eddie Jones were wonderful as the warm-hearted, supportive and understanding parents of this âstrange visitor from another planetâ. Both Michael Landes and Justin Whalinâs portrayals of Jimmy moved the character away from camp sidekick to professional colleague. And John Shea gave us a menacing and manipulative, yet complex, Lex Luthor.

I like to think the baby was send by Mr. Mxyzptlk with a what wouldâve been a return of Howie Mandel as the character.
I can see Mr. Mxyzptlk testing Lois and Clark what itâs like to have a baby and kids of their own.

I saw that last night when I jumped on the Max to watch more Mare of Eastown. Will go on my list for the fun occasional watch.

I had the opposite view of the supporting cast, Iâm afraid. This was not the first show to assume that a lot of characters needed makeovers, but I donât think it was the best stab at it (see the Perry White Elvis schtick). I donât know if the showrunners concluded comic book writers were a probleme on the Superboy show a couple years earlier, but Lois & Clark went the opposite direction and consistently showed little awarness of the comics. The show did succeed in getting a lot of Americans to watch (many more than watched Superboy), so it ultimately did serve as an important stepping stone to what the public will accept now on network TV and HBO Max

@zontarr.26192: I have to respectfully disagree with your critique of the Lois and Clark supporting cast, but thatâs fine. Have you had a chance to view the new CW Superman and Lois show?
