Lois & Clark: Season 04 (1996)

Member Rating:

The fourth and final season of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman begins where the previous season left off, as reporter Clark Kent (Dean Cain) -- aka Superman -- leaves his fiancée, Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher), at the altar in order to rescue an extraterrestrial beauty named Zara (Justine Bateman), who had been Clark's "predestined" bride during his previous life as Kal-El on the planet Krypton. Eventually, this mess is straightened out, and Lois and Clark are finally united in the bonds of matrimony -- no thanks to the last-minute interference of supervillainess Myrtle Beach (Delta Burke), better known as "The Wedding Destroyer" (this may be the only villain in Superman history to travel about in the company of her therapist!). Things don't get much better during the couple's honeymoon, when Clark is compelled to travel back in time by unexpected visitor H.G. Wells (Terry Kiser). Then, upon moving into their new home, the newlyweds are burdened with more headaches as Lois is accused of murder. And to top it off, the couple discovers that their new "best friends" are actually their worst enemies. Add to this the professional envy stirred up when Lois is appointed Clark's boss at the "Daily Planet," and a near-disaster at Christmastime thanks to Superman's longtime nemesis Mr. Mxyzptlk (Howie Mandel), and it is astounding that Lois and Clark haven't served papers on one another before the season is over! However, love conquers all, and by the end of the show's four-year run, Lois and Clark are contemplating the conception of a "super-baby" (and no, we aren't in "Bizarro world"). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
