Lane & Kent Are Back With 22 More Episodes!, November 11, 2005
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

27. Church of Metropolis

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.

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.

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.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Season 2 DVD is coming in January 2006., October 19, 2005
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 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 am so happy that that the fans are finally getting 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. Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Season 2 DVD set will be released January 17th, 2006.
Below are The Bonus features on the DVD set

The FoLC are happy!, October 19, 2005
Season 2 of Lois and Clark was one of the best seasons of the series. (It didn't really jump the shark until Lois ate those frogs in season 3.) Lois still doesn't know Clark's secret, but unfortunately Lex Luthor has disappeared as a regular nemesis. However, Lois and Clark's relationship, the real impetus of the series, heats up. Overall, the villains aren't quite as campy as the following seasons. This is the one that left everyone cliffhanging for the summer over what Lois was planning when she took off those glasses. Would she say "yes" to his proposal? Had she figured out his secret? Hopefully we won't have to wait as long for Season 3 to be released to DVD.
This second season release will supposedly have features on Lois and Clark's fans, special commentary from Dean Cain on "Season Greedings" the episode he directed, and more behind the scenes of the season.
Here's a list of Season 2's episodes:
23. Madame Ex
24. Wall of Sound
25. The Source
26. The Prankster
27. Church of Metropolis
28. Operation Blackout
29. That Old Gang of Mine
30. A Bolt from the Blue
31. Season's Greedings
32. Metallo
33. Chi of Steel
34. The Eyes Have It
35. The Phoenix
36. Top Copy
37. Return of the Prankster
38. Lucky Leon
39. Resurrection
40. Tempus Fugitive
41. Target: Jimmy Olsen!
42. Individual Responsibility
43. Whine, Whine, Whine
44. And the Answer Is...
