Welcome to season 2 of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. When we last left Lois and Clark, Lex Luther had taken a great fall (right off the top of the tallest building in Metropolis), Lois had realized she might just have feelings for Clark "not superman" Kent, and Clark cut his nose off to spite his face by telling Lois that he lied about being in love with her.
Being the man of steel doesn't nessesaily make you smooth with the ladies.
To avoid spoiliers, which I hate seeing in reviews, this reviewer will only say that of the four seasons, season 2 was the most fun. Some familar faces appeared as guest stars, a rival for Lois's affections was intoduced, a foxy blonde D.A that had the hots for Clark popped in and out throughout the season, and the season finale had me shouting at the tv way back in 1995.
In my opinion, Lois and Clark really hit their stride in Season 2. It was beating Seaquest most Sunday nights and in general its ratings were decent. Dean Cain was the darling of Teen Beat, Bop, Tiger Beat and several other magazines that I regret to say I do remember the titles of. Teri Hatcher was on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and several other "important" publications and there was finally merchandise to go with the show; yours truely had a t-shirt, poster, collectors cards and the graphic comic book novel that featured comics that inspired episodes.
I would like to claim I collected these out of a sense of nostaglga or a foresight that one day there would be a giant online yard sale to unload that crap on, but the truth of the matter is that I was a 13 year old girl who was in love with Dean Cain.

I'm sad to say I somehow missed Lois and Clark when it was on TV, but I am very glad to have discovered it on DVD. The effects are mickey mouse and the plots can be silly, but it doesn't matter. The writing and the chemistry between Hatcher and Cain makes this show charming and totally addicting. I LOVE it!
I could not wait to watch all 4 seasons and can't for the life of me understand why this show was cancelled. (I heard network politics and I believe it.) I was depressed to get to the end of season 4 and not have another to watch.

The second season Lois and Clark is just a great season, especially for comic book fans. A lot of villains from the comics made an appearance this season; the Toyman, the Prankster, Metallo and so on. Denise Crosby also makes this season really interesting as she quests to bring Lex Luthor back from the dead. There is just so much fun to be had with this season. Overall, really great that I'd recommend to all Superman fans.

Great show..good drama and solid writing. It's Superman as well so you just cannot go wrong. Must have, especially for diehard fans.

I'm barely 21, which means I was just a wee little tyke when this show first aired. I loved it then, but I love it even more now. The chemistry between all actors is superb, the script writing is witty and charming, and even the cinematography and attention to aesthetic detail is really top-notch.
Most Lois and Clark fans will agree that season 2 is the best season of them all, and arguably one of the best seasons of television in the last two decades.
I'm a total hipster and I still think this show is the coolest ever, so let that be a lesson to those who say Lois and Clark is only for dorks!
