The third episode in Lois & Clark's final season is called, "Swear to
God, This Time We're Not Kidding," but after what this series so
maddeningly put its loyal fans through, Clark Kent (Dean Cain) could be
forgiven for interrupting his nuptials to ask, "Look, everyone needs to
know that this isn't some kind of evil genius-cloned-amnesiac fake out
because there would be a riot." But no, viewers finally got what that
they waited for so patiently; Clark and Lois Lane (Teri Hatcher) were
married. But the honeymoon was short lived. The writers weren't through
messing with viewers. In the next episode, "Soul Mates," Lois and Clark
learn0--from H.G. Wells yet (Terri Kiser, reprising his role from season
2)--that they must first break an ancient curse that was put on their
love before they can consummate their marriage. Both episodes are
redeemed by blissfully romantic resolutions that more than make up for
all the other nonsense. Marriage may have taken the sexual tension out
of Lois and Clark's relationship, but it did not sap their considerable
appeal. As professional colleagues and married partners, they work
exceedingly well together, and Cain and Hatcher's palpable chemistry
compensates for some not-so-super episodes. Not that the final season
doesn't have its keepers. "Ghosts" features a nifty bit of stunt casting
with Drew Carrey as a real-estate scam artist trying to scare Lois and
Clark out of their apartment and his Drew Carrey Show nemesis Kathy
Kinney as an actual ghost. The holiday episode "Twas the Night Before
Mxymas" stars Howie Mandel as a havoc-wreaking imp who works a little
Groundhog Day magic on Christmas. On a more dramatic note, there is a
three-episode arc in which Lois is framed for murder. For Lois and
Clark, first came love, then came marriage. As for what inevitably comes
next, the final episode concludes this beloved series on an enormously
satisfying note. --Donald Liebenson
Product Description
Lois Lane and Clark Kent saved the best for last. In their final season,
they finally get married. There are a few roadblocks along the highway

folks are better dead than wed; and even wedding-night interruptus
compliments of time-traveling H.G. Wells. But before or after the shoes
and rice, all 22 fourth-season episodes zing with Lois & Clark's
action/comedy blend. Buy Lois & Clark - The New Adventures of Superman - The Complete Fourth Season
