"Mayson likes me, Clark, but she hates Superman. Which is kinda confusing because Lois loves Superman but only likes Clark. Mayson likes Clark, but in a different way than Lois, and Mayson hates Superman in a way that's different from anybody."
-- Clark, "Church of Metropolis"

TERI HATCHER ON "HOLLYWOOD SQUARES"
LINZ 128 has written in to tell us that Teri "Lois Lane" Hatcher has been on "Hollywood Squares" this week, and should be for the rest of the week, as the show is doing a special San Francisco edition. Check local listings to see when it's on, and watch to also see Craig's favorite former morning-show host. ("Hello and welcome to Breakfast Time with Tom Laurie Bob the Puppet and me, Jim...

Lane will be playing a doctor, and he will be reunited with former "Santa Barbara" castmate Nancy Lee Grahn. What *is* known for sure is that Lane has visited the set and has met with the producer.
