Lois & Clark - The New Adventures of Superman - The Complete Fourth Season (1993) Review

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is my favorite show of all time. The show was on for four seasons from 1993-1997. What made this show so special was the great chemistry Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher (Susan on Desperate Houswives) had on screen along with a great supporting cast. I was a huge fan watching the first episode in the fall of 1993 (I was 16 years old) and never missed an episode. When the last episode aired in 1997 (I was 20 years old) I was sad because like so many other reviewers I grew up with this show and it was a huge part of my life. I remember every Sunday night I would look so forward to seeing Lois & Clark. Me and my best friend Maria would talk about the show the next day and say how we had so many similarities to these characters. I think it is great that after years of the fans asking Warner Brothers to release this great show that they have finally listened. The fans truly do deserve a DVD release of all four seasons of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. This show means so much to so many people because it was a good show that lasted longer than anyone ever imagined it would. The fourth season is another great season of Lois and Clark.

Below is a complete list of all 22 episodes of the final fourth Season of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman which will be released on November 14, 2006

1. Lord of the Flys
2. Battleground Earth
3. Swear to God, This Time We're Not Kidding

Lois Lane and Clark Kent saved the best for last. In their final season, they finally get married. There are a few roadblocks along the highway to marital bliss: a worlds-at-war battle with Lord Nor; an adventure-packed encounter with the Wedding Destroyer, who believes folks are better dead than wed; and even wedding-night interruptus compliments of time-traveling H.G. Wells. But before or after the shoes and rice, all 22 fourth-season episodes zing with Lois & Clark's action/comedy blend.

Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman The First Season is a FIVE STAR show if I ever saw one.
This show has a completely new take on the beginnings of the Characters. It is creative in a way that I believe would make Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster proud. I believe this because I have the distinction of having Parents that not only went to School with both of the creators, but were their friends and were there when Joe and Jerry first came up with the idea of Superman. I have grown up with all sorts of stories of how Superman came to be in the first place. My Father's brother was in Art class with Joe and Jerry and witnessed the very first sketches of the man of steel. Therefore my feelings of this new and innovative creation are very personal.
Given this information, I must say that Lois and Clark are absolutely fabulous. The set designs and costuming ring very true to the original as well as adding it's own mark. It is done in a way that will sustain a certain timelessness. The use of the 1940's and the current times combined together are ingenious. This was a very clever way of giving the show a look and feel that will last forever.
The stories may not follow the exact history of the original Superman, but nonetheless are so very creative that they make you want to watch every episode because of it's freshness. They are exciting, humorous, and romantic making the show enjoyable to watch. The sexual tension between Lois and Clark not only makes one root for them to get together, but also encourages us to not to miss a single episode.
Dean Cain is the perfect Clark Kent/Superman and adds a down to earth quality that everyone can relate to. He is not only very handsome and charming, but extremely talented and adds an innocence to the character that has not been seen before.
Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane adds a completely new spin to the character. She is not only talented in her own right, but is classy, sassy, sexy, intelligent and very much her own woman. She adds all these qualities to Lois and still has the ability to show a certain underlined vulnerability at the same time.
The qualities in both of these people make them the perfect match. There in lies the magic and success. The secret to any good show is not only the strength of the story telling but the main characters as well. They must be solid not only as individuals but have chemistry between them. Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman has it all.
When one adds up all these factors, it gives the show a freshness that doesn't take anything away from the original. On the contrary it adds a uniqueness that makes the show a classic in it's own right that will definitely stand the test of time.
In conclusion, I not only recommend you buying this season but suggest that you get the other three for it only gets better each year. My only regret is that the show didn't last longer than four years.
Here is the First Season Line Up:
1: Pilot - "Equals Two Episodes"
2: Strange Visitor
3: Neverending Battle
4: I'm Looking Through You
5: Requiem for a Superhero
6: I've Got A Crush On You
7: Smart Kids
8: The Green, Green Glow of Home
9: Man of Steel Bars
10: Pheromone, My Lovely
11: Honeymoon in Metropolis
12: All Shook Up
13: Witness
14: Illusions of Grandeur
15: The Ides of Metropolis
16: The Foundling
17: The Rival
18: Vatman
19: Fly Hard
20: Barbarians at the Planet
21: The House of Luthor

Lois & Clark - The New Adventures of Superman - The Complete Second Season (1993) Review

Lois and Clark - The New Adventures of Superman - The Complete Second Season (1993)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Man of Steel and the First Lady of Metropolis swoop into a 2nd super season of action, comedy and romance with Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman - The Complete Second Season! Developed by Deborah Joy LeVine (Dawson's Creek) and a brilliant staff of series writers including Hilary J. Bader (Superman: The Animated Series), Lois & Clark takes the Man of Steel on his most exciting and challenging adventure of all - rivalry & romance (and later marriage) with Lois Lane!
Changes this season include Justin Whalin (Dungeons & Dragons) taking over the role of Jimmy Olsen, and the international criminal organization Intergang taking over the late (not for long) Lex Luthor's bid for control of Metropolis and plans to kill Superman. Celebrities galore guest star as the various members of Intergang, comic-book villains, and do-gooders. Most notably, gorgeous Farrah Forke (Wings) as Deputy D.A. Mayson Drake, who provides competition for Lois when she shows an interest in Clark. To both Lois & Clark's surprise, Mayson is attracted to Clark, and not at all crazy about Superman.

Episodes include:
23. Madame Ex
Anti-Superman sentiment sweeps through Metropolis thanks to the Planet's new staff pyschologist - Lex Luthor's crafty ex, who has masterminded a Lois Lane double and plans to exact revenge on her and the superhero. Emma Samms (Dynasty), and Denise Crosby (Star Trek: TNG) guest star.
24. Wall of Sound
Lois and Clark vie for a coveted journalism award, while each races to be the first to track down the menacing Sound Man, a high-tech madman whose misuse of sonic vibrations brings Superman to his knees.
25. The Source
An electronics-firm whistle-blower leaks information to Lois about faulty parts, implicating his whiz-kid boss. Then reports of her source's murder surface. Tim Grimm (Reasonable Doubts) and Peter Scolari (Bosom Buddies) guest star.
26. The Prankster
A romeo with a warped sense of humor is out to even the score with Lois for sending him to prison years ago. Bronson Pinchot (Perfect Strangers) guest stars.
27. Church of Metropolis
An international gang equipped with smart bombs infiltrates the South Side, where Lois's uncle runs a cafe that's targeted by thugs trying to drive him out of business. Peter Boyle (Everybody Loves Raymond), Farrah Forke (Wings), Dick Miller (Gremlins), and Bruce Weitz (Hill Street Blues) guest star. Trivia: Bruce Weitz was the voice of crime boss Bruno Manheim in Superman: The Animated Series.
28. Operation Blackout
A reportedly dead former classmate of Lois's turns up in Metropolis with plans to hijack a military satellite, but first he creates a diversion by paralyzing the city with a blackout. Charles Rocket (SNL, Flying Blind) and J.T. Walsh (Backdraft) guest star.
29. That Old Gang of Mine
Al Capone (William Devane), John Dillinger (Robert Clohessy), Bonnie and Clyde (Joseph Gian and Amy Hathaway) return from the dead by the hands of a scientist. They start a crime wave in Metropolis and when one of them shoots Clark, he needs to fake his own death to protect his identity. [Loved Teri Hatcher's performance as Lois reacting to Clark getting shot, and also later when he turns up alive. Clark tries to "disappear" to do his Superman thing, but Lois (so thrilled he's alive) is like "Ohhh no...I'm not letting you out of my sight!" Great scenes.]
30. A Bolt From the Blue
Metropolis's second superhero, Resplendent Man, is born when Superman and a suicidal man that he attempts to save are struck by lightning giving the man superpowers. Cindy Williams (Laverne & Shirley), Leslie Jordan (Boston Legal, Will & Grace), and Denise Crosby guest star.

33. Chi of Steel
Lois and Clark's probe into the theft of Perry White's savings leads to a search for a powerful ninja master whose strength seems to equal that of Superman. Brian Doyle Murray (Yes, Dear), James Hong (Big Trouble in Little China) guest star.
34. The Eyes Have It
Superman is blinded by an evil ophthalmologist (David Bowe) who's already killed a scientist to get his hands on a light-beam device that gives him control over the world. Gerrit Graham (Parker Lewis Can't Lose) and Farrah Forke guest star.
35. The Phoenix
Lex Luthor (John Shea) rises from the dead, having lost his millions but not his desire for Lois--or his wish to kill Superman by getting his hands on some kryptonite. Tony Jay (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and Denise Crosby guest star.

42. Individual Responsibility
Perry White is kidnapped by Intergang operatives, but it looks like he won't be getting any help from Superman, whose exposure to a mysterious red kryptonite renders him apathetic. Bruce Campbell (The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.) and Barbara Bosson (Murder One) guest star.
43. Whine, Whine, Whine
Clark has had his fill of Metropolis after he's snubbed by Lois for his inability to commit, and after Superman is sued by a litigious rock-star wannabe (Jason Carter). Kay Lenz (Reasonable Doubts) and Jim Pirri guest star.
44. And the Answer Is...
A jewelry-store heir finds evidence of Clark's true identity and threatens to expose him as Superman unless Clark steals a cache of diamonds--and then kills Lois Lane. Maurice Godin (Cafe Americain) and Tony Jay guest star.
