Lois and Clark the New Adventures
of Superman came on ABC during the 1990's and ran for four seasons.
It wasn't all about time travel of course, it was about Superman,
but there were a few episodes that not only dealt with time travel,
but brought aboard the father of time travel himself, H.G. Wells the writer of
the classic book the
Time Machine. Well they brought aboard an actor to play
him anyway. Of course the time travel episodes were my favorites,
and the villain they used for those episodes is one of my favorite
villains of all time namely the biggest bad guy from the future
ever, Tempus. Duh! That was Tempus' favorite word to rub it in to
Lois for not recognizing Clark was Superman all along.
Tempus Fugitive (March 26,
1995)
H.G. Wells comes to Metropolis in his time machine, but he's brought
Tempus back from the future to prove that his time machine really
works. But, Tempus is bored with living in the 22nd century utopia
that Superman and Lois are responsible for. Tempus wants to change
history by going back and killing Superman on May 17, 1966, the date
that Superman came to Earth. Tempus hijacks the time machine, with
Wells beside him and goes back to 1966. Lois and Clark follow, in
their own time machine, built using the instructions Wells left for
them. While traveling through time, Tempus reveals Clark's secret to
Lois, who is stunned to say the least. Lois manages to stop Tempus
from hurting baby Clark, Wells takes Tempus to an asylum in 1866 and
then returns Lois and Clark to 1995...a few minutes before Wells
showed up the first time. They have forgotten everything that
happened in the past few hours, so Clark's secret is still safe.
Tempus Anyone? (January
21, 1996)
Tempus is back with a new time machine. He kidnaps Lois and drops
her in an alternate reality where she died in 1993 where there is no
Superman and Clark's parents died when he was young. Clark is
engaged to Lana Lana (Emily Proctor), his old girlfriend from
Smallville. Lois convinces this dimension's Clark to take on the
identity of Superman to stop Tempus from becoming mayor of
Metropolis.
Soul Mates (October 13,
1996)
Just before Lois and Clark are able to consummate their marriage,
H.G. Wells returns to tell them that they are soul mates, linked
through time, and that they have been cursed so that if they do
consummate their marriage, Lois will die. They travel through time
and meet up with Tempus, who was the one that cast the curse. They
break the curse and restore the present timeline.

Meet John Doe (March 2, 1997)
Tempus is back and he plans to plunge the world into a thousand
years of darkness. Using the name John Doe, and a "subliminator", a
device from the future that plants subliminal messages in the minds
of the masses by using the telephone system, he runs for President
and convinces people to vote for him by telling that "John Doe is a
darn nice guy". After winning the election in a landslide, Tempus
tricks Superman into stepping into a time window, and when Tempus
touches the window, it spins off into eternity, leaving Lois behind
crying for Superman. View Trailer
Lois and Clarks (March 9, 1997)
Tempus continues his quest for world domination. H.G. Wells, alerted
by the disappearance of utopia in the future, returns to make sure
that Superman is alright. When Lois tells him what happened, Wells
goes to an alternate dimension to bring "alternate" Clark back to
help. This Superman finds and destroys the subliminator, and, when
Tempus threatens nuclear war, alternate Superman stops him. Wells
and Lois use Wells' time machine to find and rescue the real Clark.

Lois and Clark Episode Guide
Lois and Clark wasn't the first
Superman show to go back into time. George Reeves did it way back in
the 1950's in the original
Adventures
of Superman.
"Through the Time Barrier"
(4/23/1955)
Professor Twiddle invents a time machine that takes Jimmy, Lois,
Clark and a thug back 50,000 years. This was the first color
episode.
And of course everybody remembers
the infamous turning back time and the world on it's axis trick
Christopher Reeve did as Superman in
Superman the Movie. A trick that was featured with never before
seen scenes in the
Superman II Richard Donner Cut.
