I remember my sisters and I absolutely sobbing as we watched it for the first time.
Then the next day a guy in one of my classes played a cruel joke by telling me that that was the *series* finally instead of just the *season* finally. For two days I went around thinking that Clark was never coming back, until I could verify that there would, in fact, be a fourth season.

BTW, I'm moving this over to the Lois and Clark forum, since it's about the show and not fanfic.
