Lois and Clark: The New Adventures...

For fans of this show, such as myself, I was soooo angry when they cancelled. As you may recall the final episode, entitled "The Family Hour" centered around Lois and Clark's parents being kidnapped, and consequently rescued by Superman. The ending was the real shocker, when Clark awakes, hearing something no one can. Lois follows him downstairs, and into the den, where they discover a baby, wrapped in a Superman blanket with a note asking them to take care of the baby.

This abrupt ending left everyone wondering...who was the baby, was it theirs somehow (even though they had been told they wouldn't be able to have children). According to an interview with one of the show's producers, she said that the baby, a boy, would have been a descendant of Lois & Clark's from the future. The same time period Tempus was from. He gave few specifcs but said that the child was sent to the past as protection from something or someone. A side effect of his superpowers would have been excelerated aging. The intent was to cover all of this in a extended story arc at the beginning of a season 5.

So, while not as satifying as actually seeing what would have happened, as least now we have some idea.
