Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Season Two is a very good sophomore season. They were still looking for their exact stride, but were getting closer to the mark. We saw the exit of Tracy Scoggins as Cat Grant, Michael Landesas the first Jimmy Olsen, and John Shea as Lex Luthor. Personally, I liked the old Jimmy and the Cat Grant character but the networks said that Michael Landes looked to much like Dean Cain and the Cat Grant character was to adult for the time slot. What are the fans to do? But never fear, Jimmy was back with Justin Wallin who did an admiral job at being the bearer of bad news over and over and over... But enough about what they changed, what stayed the same? Dean Cain makes a great Clark Kent and an acceptable Superman (I will always look to Christopher Reeves for the ultimate Superman- You will believe a man can Fly). Teri Hatcher puts out an excellent showing as one of the best Lois Lanes EVER, not a cigarette chomping witch and not a push-over, but a confident self-assured career women. K Callen and Eddie Jones are back as the Kents. Lane Smith is back as the Elvis loving Perry White.
In this season, there are some terrific moments and some stellar episodes. Ending with one of the best cliffhanger episodes for fun television, "And the Answer is....". Don't miss the christmas special "Seasons Greetings" or the entrance of William Wallace Webster Waldecker (say that 3 times fast). Then of corse there is the 2 Prankster episodes that are alot of fun. We see the introduction of Intergang, a criminal empire that will be a thorn in Lois's and Superman's side on and off for the next 2 seasons. We also get to meet Tempest and HG Wells in season 2. While I didn't much like the creators interoperation of HG Wells, I did like the Tempest character. He makes several repeat performances in season 3 and 4. There are secrets, exposures, near misses and all of the things that made this series Great TV.
The DVD set is packed in much the same way as the first season. The annoying double overlay disks are here- and if you are like me you will be replacing them with the slimline cases so that your disks will not get scratched at the expense of the episode guide. There were several special features and interviews, both archival and new, for the fans and some even by the fans. Hope you enjoy the season as much as I did.

After a promising first season, could season II of "Lois And Clark" live up to its predeccessor? YYYYYEEEESSSSS!!! Surprises abound in Season II of this excellent TV show. Watch for cameos by a future Bond Girl (hint: there's another Bond Girl besides the series' star Teri Hatcher), Raquel Welch, Peter Boyle (I half expected Doris Roberts to come out, yelling, "Frank!!"; okay, wrong show), Earl Boen (I half expected Linda Hamilton to suddenly run out, and stab him, yelling "The world's gonna end!!!"; okay, wrong movie), Robert Culp and more, including the shocking return of an old enemy (ala the "Law And Order:Criminal Intent" Season II finale). Superman DELIVERS...and it's all SMASHING GOOD CLEAN FAMILY FUN, as always. My only gripe is that the Bond Girl didn't appear in more episodes. The special features are as good as the supplements on Season I, but I'm disappointed that Teri Hatcher, Tony Jay & John Shea weren't interviewed as well. Other than that, I totally loved Season II (all the episodes were well written and directed), and can't wait for Season III, which is promised in the season finale. Cliff-hanger indeed!!
