I was only an occasional viewer of "Lois & Clark" until the third season got me completely hooked. If you are a die-hard Superman fan, you may enjoy this series, but keep in mind that the Superman persona takes a backseat to the "Lois and Clark" relationship. The show is a romantic comedy in every way, and the third season's focus is on Lois & Clark's struggles to make it as a couple as they deal with the reality that Clark is Superman.
While not a single episode of this 22-episode season should be missed, a few shows are particularly entertaining. In the extremely creative "Virtually Destroyed"--penned by Dean Cain himself--Lois and Clark find out what a deadly game virtual reality can really be. The next episode, "Home Is Where the Hurt Is," tugs at the heartstrings as Lois keeps vigil at the bedside of a gravely ill Superman. The season-ending "Big Girls Don't Fly" is yet another tear-jerker as Clark and Lois are faced with the decision of whether or not Clark should leave Earth to rule over New Krypton, a planet in trouble.
Finally, while some fans dislike the "Wedding Arc" that occurs in the second half of the season, these episodes do not fail to keep us on the edges of our seats. Besides, how boring would it be to see our favorite couple happy all the time? This lengthy separation makes their reunion all the more satisfying. It's also great to see the return of John Shea as Lex Luthor during this arc. Born to play this role, Shea creates a character that is so easy to love to hate.

Everything hinges on Lois's answer to Clark's marriage proposal--and the question of whether she knows his dual identity in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman - The Complete Third Season. Developed by Deborah Joy LeVine (Dawson's Creek) and a brilliant staff of writers, including [this season] stars Dean Cain ("Virtually Destroyed") and Teri Hatcher ("It's A Small World After All"), Lois & Clark takes the Man of Steel on his most exciting and challenging adventure of all - rivalry & romance (and later marriage) with Lois Lane!
At the time, many critics and fans thought the series was tampering with success by advancing the romance between the two title characters. Not me. And certainly not the show's producers who were extremely confident (and rightfully so) about the direction the third season took. Their plan, according to producer Robert Singer, was to take it forward [then] put up an obstacle.
And as you'll discover in this super 3rd season set, there are obstacles aplenty including Intergang's Bill Church Sr. (Peter Boyle), his ditzy (or is she?) new bride Mindy (Jessica Collins) and his traitorous son Bill Church Jr. (Bruce Campbell) in "We Have A Lot To Talk About"; the return of time traveler Tempus in "Tempus Anyone?" and Lex Luthor in the back-to-back "Double Jeopardy" and "Seconds"; the nefarious Newtrich sisters (Shelley Long & Mary Gross), who unwittingly transform Lois into "Ultra Woman"; and in the back-to-back season finale "Through a Glass, Darkly" and "Big Girls Don't Fly" two visiting Kryptonians (Justine Bateman & Jon Tenney, Teri Hatcher's then-real-life husband) who extend Clark an opportunity to reclaim his alien heritage as ruler of New Krypton, which means saying goodbye to Earth, his parents and Lois.
Episodes include:
45. "We Have a Lot to Talk About": As Lois's answer to Clark's proposal lingers, Metropolis becomes strangely crime-free.
46. "Ordinary People": Lois and Clark escape work with a getaway to a tropical island, unaware that a madman awaits them.

56. "Never on Sunday": Clark begins having strange visions that seem linked to supernatural forces and a voodoo-practicing illusionist.
57. "The Dad Who Came in from the Cold": Jimmy gets an unexpected visit from his estranged father, an enigmatic secret agent.
58. "Tempus Anyone?": Tempus returns to snatch Lois away to a parallel universe, where she links up with H.G. Wells and a more cynical version of Clark.

60. "Double Jeopardy": Lois's topsy-turvy life begins to play out like a bad novel after Lex Luthor escapes from prison.
61. "Seconds": Superman declares war on the maniacal Lex Luthor over Lois, who with temporary amnesia, is being primed to kill the superhero.
62. "Forget Me Not": Hoping to regain her memory, Lois enters a sanitarium, where Clark is forebidden to visit her.
63. "Oedipus Wrecks": A floodgate of memories opens for Lois just as Dr. Deter is trying to purge all thoughts of Clark from her mind.
64. "It's a Small World After All": Lois discovers that a vengeful former classmate is armed with a secret shrinking formula.
65. "Through a Glass, Darkly": A mysterious terrorist and a new Planet researcher bring nothing but chaos to Lois & Clark.
66. "Big Girls Don't Fly": Just as the two visiting aliens bring Superman a new-found knowledge of his past and his destiny, Lois fears that Clark is drifting away from her for good.

This season had the greatest story arc of the series - the clone wars.
Ok, it wasn't a war between clones, but it in the words of Lex this season meant "WAR!!!" Lex and Clark are after the heart of Lois; she is caught in the middle and suffers greatly.
Great writing, acting, and F/X for the arc make this a SUPERMAN fan necessity. Don't believe the haters. Rent/buy this and be amazed at the 3rd season.
The NAZI episode also rocks!!
