"Jimmy! Shut up, Jimmy!" <POW>

The Show Returns!
We have just gotten some FANTASTIC news... it appears that since Warner Brothers is taking so long in getting out the new Nicolas Cage-starring Superman film, that they've approved things for a LOIS & CLARK REUNION MOVIE to air this November on TNT, according to a source from the show.

"The tentative plan is to start filming the movie after Teri Hatcher is finished touring 'Cabaret', during her break," the source said. The source was a writer of several favorite episodes of the original series. He/she also hinted that Deborah Joy LeVine, who produced the first season of the series, will be back on board to "whip things back into shape." When asked whether or not this means that Lois and Clark's relationship will take a backseat, since the romance really started AFTER LeVine left the show, the source responded "Absolutely not." We were also assured fans that the baby cliffhanger at the end of "The Family Hour" will be addressed.

Several other former L&C staffers have been invited to work on the reunion movie, and some gossip has leaked out. Original "L&C" stars Dean Cain, Teri Hatcher, Lane Smith, K Callan, and Eddie Jones are all signed to appear in the movie. They're also hoping to get John Shea to reprise his role as Lex Luthor. It is not known who will be playing Jimmy in the movie, as LeVine has noted a preference for Michael Landes, who played Jimmy during the first season. We were also told that "Cat Grant is in the script, but Tracy Scoggins won't be able to do it." The producers are seriously considering actress Maedchen Amick (Dawson's Creek, Fantasy Island) for the role.

This will probably be Dean Cain's last role before beginning filming CBS's fall mideseason replacement "Second Life," and it is said he wanted to be able to play the character and give it closure.

If we hear more we'll have to do another Spoiler Special! (It HAS been a long time..)

Also, we have learned that Tracy Scoggins will be appearing in the second "Dukes of Hazzard" reunion movie, titled "The Dukes of Hazzard: Back to Hazzard." The movie involves Hughie Hogg (who was occasionally played by Jeff Altman) scheming to take over Hazzard, and he calls in Tracy to reprise her deputy character from "New Deputy in Town" to help him do it.

According to Entertainment Weekly, former "Lois & Clark" executive producers Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner have been brought on to fill the role of executive producer Chris Carter on "The X-Files." Carter is taking time off to work on "Millenium" and his new series "Harsh Realm." None of their plans have been revealed, except for the poosibility of having Scully and Mulder get together, maybe even get married. "After all, it's our last season anyway...it wouldn't matter if we killed it," Eugenie was quoted as saying.

Warner Home Video plans to release the "lost" episode of "Lois & Clark," aired only once in a select number of markets on a Sunday night on March 30, 1997, and was never repeated on TNT, to video on Friday, April 8. The infamous "Little Caped Men" episode guest starred Lane Davies in his final appearance as Tempus. The video will retail for $10.95, around the same price as the "X-Files" videotapes.

Dean Cain Engaged Again!
by Craig Byrne

The Mindy McCready days may be over, but that's not keeping Dean Cain from walking down the aisle this December.

Dean is said to be engaged to former girlfriend and popular "V.I.P." actress Pamela Anderson, who recently ended a marriage to rocker Tommy Lee.

We'll tell you when we hear more.

The "Lois & Clark" 10: #9
by Rudy Ray Moore

The countdown continues as we go to the best and worst, headed towards issue #200. Here were the 9th-favorite and 9th-least-favorite episodes, as chosen by the fans:

#9 Best Episode
"Chip Off The Old Clark"
Episode #51 * Written by Michael Javin and Sivert Glarum
Guest Starring: Susan Batten, Joel Brooks, Kenneth Kimmins, Alex D. Linz, Michael Kagan, Dave Nemeth, Michael Barger, and Maty Monfort, with Dave Coulier as "Anonymous"

Who would have thought that an episode about an illegitamite child for Clark would become such a cult classic? Maybe it was the appearance of Mike and Maty (who?), or maybe it was the excellent and ORIGINAL portrayal of "Anonymous" by Dave Coulier, but "Chip Off The Old Clark" was a definite winner. No wonder they got that kid as Macaulay Culkin's replacement on "Home Alone."

This episode got some of the highest ratings that "Lois & Clark" EVER got (<-- that part is NOT an April Fool!) and gets the best ratings when TNT shows repeats. (<-- okay so that part is). I wish Jesse was a regular character on "Lois & Clark." Think about it, it could be like Tabitha on "Bewitched." That would be SO cool.

#9 Worst Episode
"Season's Greedings"
Episode #30 * Written by Dean Cain (what kind of name is that?)
Guest Starring: The dad from "Eight is Enough," one of those millions of Van Dykes, Dom Irrera (who?), Denise Richards (rrrowr...), and the Jeffersons

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!

They really expected us to BELIEVE an episode where Superman fights the Jeffersons. How dumb is that. That's like as stupid as it would be to marry Lois and Clark, because it would kill the show.

In the plot, some teddy bears (yes you did not read that wrong) spray a pheromone that makes old people act childish and young people act greedy. Whoever this Dean Cain guy is shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard. "Toy Story" did the crazed Toyman plot SO much better.

The episode ends with this cheesy wishy-washy stuff which really made this writer want to puke. If you ever see this one repeated, AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE. I do.

Next Issue...
Okay, looking for the REAL Krypton Club 10 or any more regular features? Issue #193 will cover the #9's and the #8's. Look for it within the next 2 weeks. And please don't ANYONE take this seriously.
