I thought I remembered this scene from the first time I watched the show all the way through.

Idk what the context was? But Superman broke up with Lois, near a fountain I think? And How Deep Is Your Love by the Beegees came on and then a montage happened of them each moping and him flying around and her at home sad. I could have sworn this was in the show. Especially bc I fully added that song to all my playlists AFTER I saw it so I could relive the angst over and over again 💀

But now I’m rewatching the show after about 4 years and it’s?? Nowhere??? I saw a breakup montage at one point but there’s a whole different song in the background?? I would just like confirmation that someone else saw this please 🙏

Update: I have looked for a fan video, but if it was up a long time ago, it isn’t now :( maybe YouTube cracked down on the copyright regulations. Thanks for all the help though everyone!

Hello everyone, I see people talking about their favorite season and I'm surprised that most of time it's either season 3 or 4. I'm guessing it's because those seasons focus more on Clark and Lois' relationship. While I like their relationship I feel like Jimmy, Perry, and their jobs as reporters kinda takes a back seat. Season 1 is my my favorite, with season 2 a little bit behind it. What's your favorite season?

If I had to pick just one as my favorite, I think it would be 3x11: Home is Where the Hurt Is.

Seasons 3 and 4 are probably tied as my favorite season. I just make believe the clone/amnesia arc in season 3 doesn't exist 🙃😂

What about you all?

I just finished season 3 during my 2nd rewatch and it’s SO GOOD (if you ignore the frog clone/amnesia arc). The only criticism I have is about the clone/amnesia arc. I’m not sure why the writers thought they had to create this outlandish storyline in order to push back the wedding. They rushed the engagement so much anyway. Once Lois finally decided to propose to Clark and put the ring on, it would have made sense to just wait until they ACTUALLY got married in season 4. I love seeing them in a relationship, and they could have easily had enought “material” to develop their relationship/engagement over the rest of the season without the fake-out wedding and clone/amnesia arc.

But besides that, i feel like season 3 is miles ahead of seasons 1 and 2. I just watched the first ep of season 4 and I’m really looking forward to watching s4 again because it was my favorite season in my previous rewatch.

I’m wondering how other people feel about season 2. I am watching the show for a second time since August (at a much slower pace than I did the first time), and I just finished season 2 again. I know I hold a super unpopular opinion in that season 4 is my favorite season, but I also seem to hear that people often enjoy season 2 over season 1 and that it’s their favorite season. But now that I’m watching it at a pace where all seasons don’t blur together, I noticed that I found season 2 to be very underwhelming. My favorite episode is probably Tempus Fugitive, and I also like The Phoenix because of the Lois and Clark scenes as they’re on their almost-first date. There are other episodes that have great relationship moments between Lois and Clark (like their actual first date and the scenes related to that, Lois telling Clark that the only reason they’re not together is bc they’re scared and decide to start a relationship, and the marriage proposal). But the episodes that contain those moments aren’t near the top of the list.

And as a Lois and Clark shipper I am so frustrated by the last 6 episodes where Clark keeps having to go save lives at the most inopportune times when he’s having important conversations with Lois, so she starts gravitating towards that goverment agent who’s really into her, because he’s not always making excuses to run off.

I also think Clark should have told Lois himself that he’s Superman before proposing to her. I love the way that she figured it out on her own- through the way that he touched her- but he should have been the one to tell her, imo. Especially before proposing.

So that’s how I feel about season 2- not many episodes that I like as a whole, and super frustrated by the last 6 eps.

I think I’m 4 eps into season 3 and I already like it better than season 2, except for when Clark dumps Lois “for her own safety” without even hearing her side. I like the scene where she calls him out on it, though- she says something like “Nobody has the right to live my life except me.” Because in breaking up with her for her own good, he was taking her choice away from her. It’s her own life and he doesn’t have the right to make that decision for her- whether she’s willing to take the risk to be with him.

In seasons 1 and 2, as we watch Lois and Clark’s relationship grow from friends to lovers, which episodes do you think showed their best chemistry? There are so many good ones! I love honeymoon in metropolis, you see them hanging out as friends but also getting super shy around a each other in the morning. Love ittt!

I was wondering what people think about this. Personally, I love it. I love that it comes down to just him waiting for the right person and it just taking this long to find her. It’s not directly related to him being Superman, and it’s not because there’s something wrong with him or because he’s an alien from another planet, and it’s not for religious reasons. He said to Lois that he had to be sure it was going to be with someone who he could trust with his secrets (about being Superman), which boils down to him not wanting to have sex until he’s married to that person. I know this was the 90s so society was a little more reserved about sex than they are today, but judging by Lois’ reaction, it’s not something you’d expect about a non-religious man who’s almost 30.

Just the fact that he didn’t want to give himself to someone who he could’t trust with all his secrets is like so endearing and romantic to me.

I’m not crazy about Lois’ initial reaction, though. She was more hung up on the fact that he’s a virgin than she was about him taking this long to tell her. I think it was valid of her to be upset that he waited this long to tell her, but she should have been way more sensitive about what he’s actually revealing to her.

I also wonder at what point TPTB decided that he was wanting to wait until marriage. Was it planned from the very beginning of the show?

If you rewatch the show with this in mind, his interactions with women throughout the show and whatever he had going on with Mayson in s2 make a lot of sense.

Just curious about what people think of it. I’ve seen people mention it here and there online, in just kind of a neutral way.

ETA: Did anyone else get so worried after Clark unknowingly married the clone of Lois that he was going to lose his virginity to the clone of her and not the real Lois? So glad they didn’t do that.

Also I loved how in the multipart episode about the whole New Krypton thing, when he was finally able to see Lois again and she found out he had to marry Zara(?), she was like “HOW married are you?” Meaning did they actually consummate the marriage. And he said “Lois, I promised you first.” Which I took to mean both that he asked her to marry him first so he’d never go that far with anyone else and also that they’d already talked about Lois being his first, which he considered a promise that he wouldn’t break. I loved her smile there.

Would you have included her in this show?

If so, how would you have done it and who would've been a good choice to play her?

I think there were definitely possibilities if she was introduced in the first couple seasons, however, I think she would've had the most potential if she came in after Clark and Lois were married (or at least together). Modern stories like to introduce a surrogate like child into the relationship in the form of Conner. But even though the character existed at this time, the origin of him being a clone or "child" of Clark and Lex was not established till early 2000s so they couldn't do that. Supergirl on the other hand, who is often portrayed as a teen, Lois and Clark taking her into their family would've been very interesting. Like... foster parents taking in a teen from the system. Basically stretching their legs in terms of being parental figures (preparing them for when they eventually do have a child). She would serve as Clark's connection to his Kryptonian heritage, and Lois could serve as her connection to establishing a human identity. Lana has been her foster parent in the comics, so they could've easily done it with Lois instead. I also would've loved to see her interactions with Martha and Jonathan.

Why is Jonathan still alive in this series when he dies in EVERY other version of Superman? (Superman, Smallville, Man of Steel, Superman & Lois)

As far as I’m aware, Jonathan Kent’s death is part of what puts Clark Kent on the path of putting the suit on.

I recently found a podcast that made me feel like I was almost listening to new episodes of Lois & Clark. Does anyone else have any recommendations?

The one I found is called "My Amazing Woman". It starts after the wedding and she is the hero instead of him. It also reminds me of Bewitched at first, but they seem to tone that down after a while. It went from the husband almost seeming embarrassed by his wife, to working with his wife to get through obstacles.

I'm always on the look out for a good podcast with a good storyline.

Hi all! In “Tempus, Anyone?” (S3E14), there’s a song playing when Lois and alternate dimension Clark are flying together for the first time. I tried Shazam, I tried Googling, and I can’t find the thing at all. Does anyone know what the name of the song is, and/or who performs it? TIA

I just finished watching the whole series for the first time since I was 14 (and I’m going to watch it all the way through again), and as a hopeless romantic I love that Lois and Clark’s romance really is front and center.

It’s like “here’s two people falling in love and being crazy about each other and oh yeah superman is there sometimes and some weird stuff happens.” Like half the time I don’t even care about the A-Plot 😂 Seasons 3 and 4 are my favorite seasons bc they’re in an established relationship and then a marriage, and it’s depicted so well in the writing and portrayed so well by Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher.

I just finished my first rewatch since it was originally on TV and I loved it even more this time (I was 11-14 when it was originally on). As I was watching it I was going through the tag on Tumblr and seeing so many people say “they were my first ‘ship/OTP when I was 12,” and it’s true of me, too. I wonder what it was that made us tweens fall in love with them as a couple and want them to be together.

I think it might be that the show is so wholesome and their relationship is so wholesome and we could feel the chemistry between them.

Just curious if anyone else here had the same experience.

Does anyone know what season an an episode this this clip is from? I've been looking and and can't find the the answer, for the life of me. So turning to the place where all answers are answered 🙂🫡

Probably just due to the length of time Star Trek was/is on air, but there’s a huge list of people who were in Lois & Clark that were also in Star Trek (mostly just an episode here and there). So far; outside the big Star Trek names (Johnathan Frakes and Denise Crosby), I’ve found over 30 people that were in both, including Lois herself, in one episode of TNG.

I just thought it was cool and wanted to share.

And the Tempus as president stuff was actually bizarre to watch alongside news of the US. At one point Tempus says "make this country great again" and I was shocked! I haven't done a full rewatch in a while, but I know some people have these moments with older sci-fi shows when they see tech that was conceptual then but is reality now. Has anyone else had some weird "whoa, what?!" moments with LnC?

Spoilers obviously. Don't read if you are watching first time and don't want spoilers...

Okay so I'm watching and I'm a bit confused. Why are Lois and Clark suddenly in tabloids? Why does Lois get a telegram from the president at the end?

I have skipped some episodes and yeah they are friends with Superman (wink!) But it seems strange they are suddenly so high profile. Is this explained in-universe? Or was this simply a joke sort of, about the real world interest?

There's something about it that's so cozy and all the characters are so lovable! The show has been such fun to watch so far, I'm halfway through season 2. I wish the show was discussed more, and Teri Thatcher and Dean Cain recognized for their awesome work as Lois and Clark. No spoilers, please, just my thoughts so far!

I wanna rewatch this, but how much did they change? I remember the song to trigger Lois headaches being cheesy but then on reruns it was completely different

At first I didn’t know how I felt about her but the more I watch TNAOS, I think she’s really witty and I like her no-nonsense attitude.

Was anyone else around in the early IRC days when the show was first airing and the internet was in its infancy? We called ourselves FoLCs. There were heaps of us, and we tried to match up being online at the same time. I travelled around the USA meeting FoLCs that I had met online and met some amazing people.

Was anyone else around during that time?
