Just wondering which season was everyone's favorite?
Mine was S2 I think...
*Blayne*
Clark: You are really high maintenance, you know it?
Lois: But I'm worth it.
Clark: Not exactly what you had in mind, huh?
Lois: Let's see. So far I've been given a glimpse of ritual crop worship, been treated as your girlfriend, and insulted your parents. No, I couldn't have planned this.

Definitely Season Three. Minus the Argh!  oh and minus after they break up, it was a pretty good season for me. Lois knows the secret, they're a couple, yadda yadda. Oh and minus all those ridiclous haircuts...maybe I should have picked season two instead.  Jen

I know I am probably the only only person who will say this, but my favorite season is season four. I know the A plots aren't as good, but I just love the romance,  the fact that their relationship is relatively stable and the fact that she knows he is Superman. In short, I know I might be the only season four fan, but I love it anyway!  Jana

Just thought I should add that I also love season one because of Jack, but he is only in four episodes.  Jana

This was a difficult choise, Season 1 or Season 2. In the end, I choose for S2, because of the romance. They both realize they are in love, they are dating and all that stuff. And Lois finds out the secret. But I still like S1 a lot too. Just all the a-plots and Lex Luthor are outstanding good. Too bad we couldn't choose two options. Saskia

I'm going to be very boring and say I really couldn't choose between them. I like all of them for different reasons. S4 is perhaps my least favourite and the one I revisit least - but there's still plenty to enjoy in there too. LabRat

You left out my usual answer -- "the first half of season three and second half of season 4!" Can't imagine how you came to overlook that option I loved the beginning of S3, all the way up to the ARRRRGH, which sucked. IASWAA was okay, but not great. The NK arc started out interestingly but went downhill, IMO. And at the beginning of S4, they didn't seem to have any idea of how to write L&C as a married couple -- they had a honeymoon in Brutal Youth but then went straight to "old married couple" -- in love and comfortable, sure, but no steam. However, once they got that straightened out... I thought the late middle of S4 was fabulous, starting around Lethal Weapon. The John Doe eps were terrific, I thought the Lex Files was very well-done (they actually had *gasp* continuity! between episodes! and they kept making it more interesting). AKA Superman is probably the funniest episode ever <g> and even there, it's got a sweet b-plot. IGYUMS was a fabulous premise ruined by lousy acting from the guest star. Toy Story and Family Hour were just incredibly bad. On this poll, I voted for S3, but it was close. S1 -- emotional torture for L&C, and it's all "apart angst" S2 -- dry as dust at the beginning, frustrating as hell toward the end S3 -- started out great, then went down the toilet S4 -- took a while to find itself And as others have said, there were wonderful moments in every season -- in darned near every ep, there were a few seconds of greatness shining through Actually, my favorite season may be Season 6 but then, I may be biased.

I voted for Season 2, but I actually liked both Season 2 and 3 (well except for the whole breaking up part).

Okay, I want to amend my previous opinion. <g> Exactly what Pam said for S4. Although I still hold mainly to my moments criteria, even on bad episodes, generally speaking I agree entirely with that assessment of the season. LabRat

It was a tough decision, but I voted for season 1. (It was a choice between that and S2.) Why? I think because, when it was first shown, it didn't matter that it was 'apart angst'; what mattered was the potential for Lois and Clark to get together. Moreover, this was the season with the most 'human' Superman, at least in my opinion. This Superman had doubts and insecurities; he was still learning how to be a hero. He had none of the arrogance he displayed in S4. (I'm particularly thinking here of Sex, Lies and Videotape, and his determination to tell the 'truth'. Now, I have nothing against honesty -- quite the reverse -- but I don't like the idea of Superman being so certain that he is on the moral high-ground.) Oddly, I find Lois's conversation in the courtroom in WWW one of the most cringe-worthy moments in the show. She says Superman is on a pedestal, above everyone else, but later professes to love Clark. In S4, it is almost as though Clark has bought into Lois's perception of Superman, although she, herself, has adjusted to the idea that the man on the pedestal is Clark. I'm not sure that I'm explaining this well. Okay, so the romance in S4 isn't bad -- some of the episodes are awful, though -- but I didn't just watch the show for romance. I watched it for wider (but still character-driven) reasons. I was routing for Clark-the-outsider to find the normal life he so desperately wanted. I was routing for Lois to learn to open up to another person. And I was routing for them to bring Luthor down. Yes, I prefer first season Luthor to second or third season Luthor... despite Lois's relationship with him. Okay, so maybe I liked S1 for the 'apart angst', but hey... Nothing wrong with that! Besides, that is the season with my two favourite episodes in it -- Strange Visitor and, more particularly, GGGOH. Wow, I didn't expect this answer to be so long! Chris

I voted for "I liked them all," even though I think that I liked Season 3 slightly the best. Even with the Clone and Ark.

Just incase anyone was wondering why I picked S2, it was because I just love the romantic tension between Lois & Clark. I absolutely love romance, and I pretty much just think the whole series went downhill after Lois found out Clark's secret. I mean I liked WHALTTA, and a few other S3 & S4 eps. but not very many. I also really liked S1, but Lois & Clark just weren't as close then as they are in S2.

I love all the seasons, but I finally decided on S2. It was great to see the incredible bond forming between the two in eps like The Prankster and Season's Greetings. Like Blayne, I thought the romantic tension was fun to watch. While S2 characters like Mayson and Dan are easy to hate, they really did make L&C realize how much they cared for one another.  ~Amanda

Umm...I'm probably the only person out there who actually *likes* this part but I'm gonna go ahead anyway...I actually liked the clone arc - I groaned along with everybody else when it was first shown, but it all had a lot of angst in it, which I love and such a perfect WAFFy ending! It was one of my favourite parts of S3, but I have to admit that I voted for S1, mainly because of the Lex thing. I hated him just as much as the next person, but he made S1 great - every series needs an evil villian and he was the one to beat all others I suspect that part of why I voted for S1 was because most of my favourite episodes are in it - Pilot, Honeymoon in Metropolis, PML, TGGGOH and of course, BaTP/HoL which are my all-time favourite eps - ever :p S2 had some great eps. in it as well - The Prankster, WWW and ATAI being the paramount ones in my mind. However, I didnt particularly like S3 - Ordinary People = uck, Contact = OMG and *especially* When Irish Eyes are Killing - might be just me, but being Irish myself, that ep. had some very insulting blows to Irish people.  I'd like to take this moment in time to verify that #1 - Neither I nor any of my friends think that we're ancient Druids #2 - Neither I nor any of my friends would attempt to sacrifice the one we love #3 - Neither I nor any of my friends think we have a leprechan named Erin that sits on our shoulder and gives us advice #4 - Neither I nor any of my friends eat truffles on a picnic <eg> I would also like to say that neither I nor any of my friends are in A Hospital for the Criminally Insane but ***cough*** that cannot be confirmed at the present time )

I was born in Galway <g> (Granted, I lived there for like 10 days before moving to California LOL. Now I'm in Chicago.) I also hated When Irish Eyes Are Killing, for all your aforementioned reasons.

oh oh oh oh I want to vote. My favorite episode was the time when Clark got effect by the red Kryptonite and lost control of his powers. My favorite two scene was the kitchen fiasco and the time when Lois came home to a messy home because Clark had hiccuped.
