I'm curious if anyone knows if Lois' and Clark's birthdates are actually given on the show.
I know that the Kents found Clark on May 17, 1966 and I know it's generally accepted that Lois and Clark married on October 6, 1996 since that was the date of the marriage episode.
I've seen February 28th or 29th, 1966 used as Clark's birthdate and I just noted Lois' birthdate as October 7, 1967 in a story, but were these dates ever given on the show?
If not, where did these dates come from??
If anyone knows of other interesting dates given in the show, I'd find that helpful, too.
Thanks, Classicalla.

I don't know anything about these dates mentioned in the shows, but... when you have a look at the baby Clark that was found by Martha and Jonathan in "Tempus Fugitive" do you also get the idea that *this* boy is a lot older than 3 weeks that would lie between Feb 28th and March 17th... It might fit better when we have a look at the baby that Lara and Jor-El set in the capsule (don't know which ep it was, maybe the one with the glowing globe). But okay, since Clark is an alien, I should not be too serious with human infants' measure tables Hmmm...got an idea for Clark's birthday... when we stick to the ep's date of the wedding why not take the ep's date of Clark's birthday? Maybe that's just, what the author did? Bye, Jana

In "Never on Sunday" Baron Sunday says to Clark: "You're a... Pisces, right?" and Clark: "Good guess, February 28th". Well, in the script he says 29th, but in the italian version is "ventotto" (28) and I think this is the original version: in 1966 February has only 28 days. I don't remember if something is said about Lois' birthday date in the show, but in "Tempus, anyone?" the gravestone says "Lois Lane 1967-1993", and in "Contact" she says to Star she's a Libra Simona

Lois's date of birth (and death ) are shown on the gravestone in Tempus, Anyone? From the script: EXT. CEMETERY - DAY
A FLASH OF O.S. LIGHT again and Lois, dazed, stumbles into sight. She's alone. Barren trees, grey sky. Wind. Lois looks around, trying to get her bearings. Then sees something that makes her go ice cold.
A gravestone. And chiselled on it: LOIS LANE, 1967 - 1993. Tempus' LAUGHTER ECHOES through the cemetery. I don't know if the dates were different in the episode itself. You'd probably have to watch the teaser and check. There is another episode, IIRC, which indicates roughly the month of her birthday. I think it's in Contact, during a conversation she has with Star. Yup, here it is: Lois escorts Star to her front door and opens it. Halfway out, star pauses and turns back to Lois.
STAR (CONT'D) Gemini, right?
LOIS Libra. LabRat

Very interesting. I looked at the 'Never On Sunday' script and it notes Jimmy's birthday as February 15, 1974.
So February 28, 1966 is Clark's birthday.
It would be interesting to know the month and day of Lois' birthday. If her birthday was October 7th, wouldn't they have made a big deal out of that in the wedding episode?

That baby looks older than 2 1/2 mos, too, but that's the way they do things on TV.
