A. Episode
guides and summaries.
Jeffery Sykes prepared an excellent episode list and
detailed episode summaries for all of the episodes aired to date. The best place to
get the current episode guide is on Jeff's web
page.
Steven Younis also has an episode guide on the Superman Homepage. Annemarie Pace also has written and posted a very detailed episode on her web page.
B. Web pages.
There are literally dozens of L&C-related pages on the World Wide Web. TNT and Warner
Brothers each have pages that are more or less "official," at least in the sense
that they are affiliated with the studio and network that produced and air the show. The
Warner Brothers site contains
a few photos, brief cast biographies as well as some sound and video clips. It also
doesn't look like it was updated after about the third season.
The TNT network site
contains a limited amount of information, photos, etc. It is most helpful, however,
for its broadcast schedule of the re-run episodes TNT is airing in syndication.
There are also literally dozens of "fan page" L&C-related web sites. To
be charitable, they vary greatly in quality and depth. Three of the most complete, unique
and in-depth sites you may want to check out include those listed below. Each
includes information, post L&C cast sitings and audio and video clips you likely can't
find anywhere else.
The LNC Webserver (one of the oldest
sites)
Zoomway's Place
FoLC World
Both Zoomway's Place and the FoLC World site are excellent sources for audio and video
clips. FoLC World bills itself as including the Ultimate Teri Hatcher pages.
You may judge this claim yourself, but by any standard, the collection is very impressive.
C. Other info
sources (Newsgroups, AOL, CompuServe, etc.)
There are two USENET newsgroups devoted to Lois & Clark: (alt.tv.lois-n-clark and alt.tv.lois-n-clark.fanfic). There are also
Lois & Clark discussion areas on America On Line (keyword: LCABC) and CompuServe, in
the Science Fiction Media Two Forum (GO SFMEDTWO).
Of the "commercial" on-line services, America On-Line probably has the largest
collection of L&C information. In addition to a large photo collection, AOL has also
offered a L&C Sightings folder that "ABC Amy" kept up to date with TV, print
and online appearances of L&C cast members. Ratings for each episode were posted.
There were online surveys, contests and weekly L&C Challenges on what would happen in
future episodes.
AOL members were also treated to live "conferences" with Teri Hatcher, Dean
Cain, John Shea, K Callan and Eddie Jones and Executive Producer Robert Singer; K Callan
has done the same on CompuServe (transcripts of these conferences are available on AOL and
CompuServe).
Since "Lois & Clark's" presence on AOL was under the auspices of the ABC
network, I suspect that it will not likely continue in its current form for long. But then
again, I could be wrong.
D. The Kryptonian Cybernet.
The Kryptonian Cybernet is "a monthly electronic magazine dedicated to DC Comics'
family of Superman characters and to all of their incarnations in the various forms of
media," edited by Jeffrey Sykes. To subscribe, send e-mail to Jeff (sykes@ms.uky.edu) with a subject of KC:SUBSCRIBE.
Include the e-mail address to which you would like the issues mailed in the body of the
message.
E. The L&C Metropolis Club.
The L&C Metropolis Club was a large and extremely active unofficial fan club run by
Leigh Raglan. Unfortunately, when ABC decided to cancel Lois & Clark, and due to
the press of other activities on the part of the Club's principals, the Metropolis Club
decided to wrap up its activities as well. However, in its May 21, 1997 electronic
update, Leigh announced that the Club would continue its web page for the time being, with a
slightly different name.
F. L&C Krypton Club.
The L&C Krypton Club, with over 3,500 members, is the largest on-line Lois & Clark
"fan club." It is run by presidents Craig Byrne and vice-president Matt Combes.
They edit an "interactive newsletter" which includes polls, trivia questions,
episode reviews and the like. The Krypton Club has also published interviews with many
people associated with the Superman comics (John Byrne, Roger Stern and Mike Carlin) as
well as K Callan, Bruce Campbell, Brad Buckner, and James DuMont from "Lois &
Clark."
Anyone interested in joining the club should e-mail The Krypton Club at: mcombes@mail.orion.org.
The Krypton club's Web
page has additional information.
