The Krypton Club Newsletter #210 -- April Fool's Issue 2000

ISSUE #210
APRIL 1, 2000

"Those shoes are so funky! They're just so funky! Your shoes are so funky!
By the way, I think your shoes are funky!"
-- Teri Hatcher to Dean Cain, "Good Morning America" wild feed, October 1995

TNT PICKS UP "SEASON" OF 12 NEW EPISODES!
With that being potentially the biggest news to EVER appear in the Krypton Club Newsletter, let me share with you the latest developments...

Dean Cain, as you may know, has his contract with "Ripley's Believe it or Not" which also says that he will appear in other projects with the TBS and TNT cable networks. TNT has just gotten the approval to make 12 new episodes of "Lois & Clark," to be titled "The Further Adventures of Superman," and Dean will once again wear the cape and tights -- for 12 episodes, at least.

Sadly, the entire original cast will NOT be present for the new episodes, as they have other commitments and/or have moved on. As of this writing, neither K Callan or Eddie Jones have been talked to about reprising their roles, and it is rumored that they may not be due to budgetary reasons. Teri Hatcher is also a no-show, claiming she's moved on, so her role will have to be recast. Denise Richards is high on the list of contenders for a Lois replacement, after good ratings for "Season's Greedings" repeats every time she is on. A new regular villain along the lines of Lex Luthor will also appear.

The new "series" of episodes is scheduled to start in September. For more information, keep reading this issue of the newsletter and follow it all the way to the bottom. Also keep reading this newsletter all the way through for more good news.

Also in the news: It is rumored, but NOT confirmed, that Teri Hatcher will be appearing in the September 2000 issue of Playboy magazine. More on that when we know more.

VIDEO 3-PACK COMING SOON!
Amazon.com is now listing a "three-pack" of video tape episodes of "Lois & Clark" to go on sale in July. The tapes, which will retail for $13.95 each, will contain two episodes per tape, except for the first one which includes only the Pilot. You can also buy all three together for $29.95.

Here's what each tape will include:

Tape #1: "The Pilot"
Tape #2: "Honeymoon in Metropolis" and "Pheromone My Lovely"
Tape #3: "The Foundling" and "Fly Hard"

Look for the answer in the next newsletter. The answer to last issue's trivia: Agent Dan Scardino liked to say "Please, call me Daniel." Karen says "I got a few names for him, none of which you'd be able to put in this newsletter."

AND NOW YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH...
Sadly, TNT is NOT making new "Lois & Clark" episodes and no videotape collection is planned as of yet. Because today is...

Day and you fell for the trick! (Either that, or you've figured out that by the 3rd or 4th April 1st issue you know the plan). But hey... past April Fool's issues have been correct before eventually, so who knows!
