In the series Lois was always amazed that Superman always seemed to be able to rescue her whenever he was needed to. But in the show she was always in Metropolis and so was Superman. No where in my memory was there any indication that Lois would think that Superman would be able to hear her yelling from so far away.
I agree, Tank. I've always held to this theory, too. I went to some trouble in Caped Fear to get Clark out of town at a reporters' convention when Lois hit trouble, precisely so he couldn't hear her yelling for help.
And, I seem to recall that in at least one episode, the bad guys did the same. Didn't they engineer some kind of emergency (nuclear meltdown?) elsewhere in the country for Superman to attend to, while placing a bomb in Lois's exercise mat?
