2023.03.18 08:46 iAMtheBinker Lois and Clark: Season 4 - The Long And Winding Road
Season 1 surprised me and made me realize I was I wrong about the show. Season 2 was an improvement from the first season, while Season 3 was sandwiched in between because it wasn’t a mixed bag but was close. After watching the third season, I went ahead and bought the DVD set of the show, because that’s how much I’ve been enjoying the show thanks to this Watch. Now it was time to watch Season 4. Knowing it was the final season wasn’t lost, but would be hard too.
I am happy to report that the fourth and final season of Lois and Clark was very good. By comparison with the previous seasons, Season 4 happened to be an improvement from Season 3, which is funny because Season 2 was an improvement from the first season. I wondered if this trend would’ve gone on if the show had continued, with a Season 5 that had issues only to be improved with a Season 6 and so on. But we will never know.
Speaking of which, it’s sad that this is the final season, and there is a misinformation regarding its cancellation. The thing that we’ve been told is that low ratings lead to the show’s cancellation, but a brief history search would indicate that no, this is not the case. If you know the Gundam mecha anime franchise, during this time there was a show called Gundam X which suffered the exact same problem. Lois and Clark’s fourth season was not canceled due to low ratings, nor did the lower ratings lead to the constant change in time slots. The truth of the matter is: Lois and Clark‘s fourth season kept getting changing time slots which led to low ratings. And the show was not canceled because of the low ratings, as a Season 5 was a go from the network. However, sometime after ABC had a change of heart and decided to cancel the show. The producers say that it was because Teri Hatcher was pregnant, and because for a while Season 5 was not gonna have half of their main stars, that led to the network canceling the show. Even with that knowledge, I think that the network just had a change of heart, and decided to focus on something else. Which is a shame, because the show was very good, and another season would’ve capped off the series nicely.
Talking about the good, I don’t want to be a dead horse but yes, I do love the cast. This season also had a number of guest stars that I couldn’t believe were there. Drew Carey, Howie Mandel, even my favorite comedian of all time, Christopher Titus! I also like the fact that unlike the previous seasons, this season had multiple story arcs totaling at 4. It helped with the narrative of the season, where they can still do their standalone episodes while also focusing on multiple story arcs that had a bigger focus. Just to add, I do like the fact that Dean Cain often referenced my hometown of Buffalo New York. Makes sense as Dean Cain was involved with the Buffalo Bills before becoming an actor.
I also should point this out but Batman and in this season Wonder Woman were referenced on the show. It’s not the first time with Clark name dropping Gotham City a couple times in previous seasons, but here, Batman and Wonder Woman were just as known as Superman. I often wondered if Batman and Wonder Woman being referenced was something the producers did in hopes of possibly bringing them over. I highly doubt that, they never even brought that up after the show ended, but it’s kind of fascinating that they would be name dropped as real people and not fictional characters.
Along with the good also comes the bad. But surprisingly enough, I don’t think there’s much bad in this season to talk about compared to the previous seasons. It seems like they knew what worked and what didn’t. The show came into being, let’s say. Of course, I could be forgetting somethings, and I will do the Highlights and Lowlights below, so I’ll leave it at that.
HIGHLIGHTS
“Swear to God, This Time We’re Not Kidding”
This was instantly a highlight for one good reason: after dealing with the completely horrible and pointless storyline of the last season with a clone Lois, amnesia Lois, third party wanting Lois, and all of that BS. It was a godsend to have this episode, where they finally get married. I also like the fact that the villain in this episode wasn’t a villain all but a victim, thanks to the true villain who was her psychiatrist who was experimenting on her sadness. I do like the fact that she made the right choice after realizing what was going on the entire time. She wasn’t a criminal, and I like the fact that she got herself a happy ending.
“The People vs. Lois Lane”-“Dead Lois Walking”
First of all, this is the episode where Christopher Titus makes a quick cameo appearance. I remember being shocked to see in his face. “What are you doing here?!” popped in my head lol. In regards to the entire storyline, I like the fact that this story arc dealt with the limitations of Superman‘s crime fighting. Part of the tragedy of the character is that for the man who can do anything, he can’t do everything. And in regards to this where his wife is wrongfully accused, it really dives into the notion of how little he can do, and how far he could l go before crossing the line. Especially when despite representing the universal concepts of truth and justice, all that fail the hero. How they were going to solve this was interesting, and I loved the writing. This was a well handled episode.
“‘Twas The Night Before Mxymas”
I had issues with Season 2’s Christmas episode, but while Season 3’s improved it, Season 4’s was a cherry on top. Such a great feel good episode. I was smiling throughout it. Howie Mandel‘s performance as Mr. Mxyzptlk was well done. The only disappointing part was the realization that this was going to be the final appearance of a Superman villain on the show. We hadn’t had anyone from his rogues gallery since Season 2, so while the return of having one was great, I wish they gave us more. But man this is such a great Christmas episode. I was smiling and giggling when we reached the end. When Christmas rolls around again, I think I’ll watch Season 3 and 4’s Christmas episodes again. Guaranteed.
“Sex, Lies and Videotape”
Just like how the Simpsons did it around the same time, this episode focused on tabloid journalism being almost the primary news for a lot of people. We saw those in shows like Hard Copy back in the day, Current Affair; TV shows that would go as far as to judge the situation without evidence or context. Here, having someone taking a photo of Lois and Superman, making out and blowing that out of proportion can lead to the dangerous realization of how much truth Lois and Clark can prove, despite the lies they use 24/7 to cover things like that up. It’s even debated by Lois and Clark when Clark sees lies as the black in black and white, while Lois points out the gray area that even Clark should know. Trying to get them out of the pickle here involved creative thinking, which thankfully the villains in this episode gave by altering the expose photograph in such a way that it was clearly fake.
“Meet John Doe”-“Lois and Clarks”
Like I said before, Tempus is not a great villain. More annoying than an interesting bad guy. Even by the shows standards. I’ll explain another appearance below, but I was not looking forward to watching this two parter. But I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. He was a true villain this time, and I like that this was a sequel to the Elseworlds inspired Tempus Alternate Reality episode from Season 3. One of the things that really stuck out for me about this episode was how much it predicted a lot of things 20 years later after it aired. In this case, Tempus as President John Doe was very much like President Trump. And unfortunately, the way everyone roots for him, which are people that l our characters know, kind of hit hard for me on how much a lot of people that I knew showed their true colors when they rooted for an evil man like Trump. And even hit hard when Tempus used the words “make America great again”, affecting me down to my bones.
“Voice From The Past”
Debated about adding this or even all three parts. This was the conclusion of The Lex Files, featuring the show’s take on the post Crisis Lex Luthor II. The arc and the episodes were good, but not enough to consider it a highlight. Upon thinking about it, while the first two parts were good, the third started to stand out for me. It happens sometimes when the final part is the combination of everything before, everything else is all set up and small potatoes before building up to the big finish. And that’s why this episode was better compared to the previous two in the fact that we are dealing with the son of Lex Luthor, the mystery on who is and who isn’t the son of Lex, trying to save Lois and doing that so it doesn’t involve killing her mentally, and overall a great final chapter for the show involving Lex Luthor. I guess for those reasons, I listed it here.
“Toy Story”
I did like this episode a lot, as it focused on a villain, who hated the world and the adults that controlled it. Preferring the innocence of children within himself to be a true hero, which is why he kidnapped kids so that he could save them from the real world. There is one thing that kept bothering me throughout the entire episode, I think you know what it is, if you thought of it as well. This guy is Toyman. Why not just have him be the second Toyman? If you remember, I didn’t like the show’s version of Toyman, and there’s multiple versions of the character, I didn’t understand why they didn’t just call him that and we would’ve gotten at least two classic Superman villains on the show this season. Beyond that, still good episode.
LOWLIGHTS
“Lord of the Flys”-“Battlefield Earth”
I never really talked about how I felt about “King Kal-El”. To be honest, the El family being royalty is something I don’t care for unless it’s done well. Sure it made me think of a similar idea from JJ Abrams’ Flyby, but perhaps it’s because it was better handled. It was also a retcon, which normally works if it connects well with established canon, but here Joe-El and Lara were their normal selves from the source material with no indication of anything else different for this incarnation. So it came out of left field.
This two-parter, which in reality is parts three and four to the two part Season 3 finale, was disappointing. We were supposed to be given something interesting regarding New Krypton, the arranged marriage involving King Kal-El, and the ultimate fight between him and Lord Nor (aka General Zod in all but name, which I don’t get why they couldn’t use but okay). And despite the villains being power hungry, they were comedic in unnecessary ways. Lord Nor gets an interview, wearing sunglasses, and it’s cringey, campy. Even the military guys reminded me of the southern hicks from Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks. It was a joke, and I don’t think it was supposed to be. It just didn’t reflect what they were trying to do with this storyline. True the final part is a little better and things are taken seriously, but it still has a number of problems from the previous parts along with its own: execution, and the sad factor of ‘90s superhero shows, budget. Because sadly, this show wasn’t gonna support big concepts, which is why this Kryptonian invasion only covers Smallville and Metropolis. You don’t feel anything large scale because the budget wouldn’t allow that. They could’ve done quick cuts from the news of Kryptonians flying over various locations to create that feel, but they don’t and this is the result. Overall, the storyline was completely pointless. If the Season 3 finale talked a big game, Season 4’s premiere was something that just didn’t deliver.
“Soul Mates”
This is the Tempus episode I was referring to above. All of a sudden, Lois and Clark can’t make love because they are cursed. What?! I just couldn’t stand this episode that I thought about cheating and just skipping it. Then I found out I could have, and not miss a thing. This is an example of those Tempus episodes that really show he is an annoying villain, always in the way, and why I hate him.
And now let’s talk about the final episode, which I didn’t put in the Highlights or Lowlights because it is own topic.
“The Family Hour”
Going into this episode was going to be disappointing for me, because it’s the final episode of the show that I’ve grown to love. It was also gonna be difficult for me to watch because this finale wasn’t meant to be a series finale, only a season finale. So going into this, it wasn’t gonna be as conclusive as all finales to an entire series normally are.
Plus, i gotta say the Beatles song “The Long and Winding Road” was playing in my head the day I saw the final episode. I already had the title picked for this review, but the fact that it was in my head out of nowhere was unexpected and touching.
So let me get this all the way by saying that the villain in this episode, “Big Head”, was forgettable. I thought his design made me think of the Will Ferrell animated movie Megamind, mixed in with the main character from Hey Arnold. Beyond that, didn’t really care for this villain. Because the show ends after this episode, he was a one time character, which is no different than the others. That said…
There were times where this episode felt underwhelming for me. Given the nature of this episode in regards to the entire series, this is expected. It’s all about Lois and Clark trying to have a child, finding out that they can’t and adopting one is out of the question. They’re basically in a losing battle until the end, where a child miraculously shows up, wearing a blanket with the Superman “S” on it. Producers have said that they were going to reveal the child being part of a Kryptonian dynasty, but if you didn’t know that, you could’ve just said that the Guardian Angel from their wedding episode gave them one, it you want to create something like that in your head canon. Overall though, I felt this episode was underwhelming because it seem like nothing was going for it, just your general episode. Which is a shame because it’s the final episode overall, but they didn’t know that. Trying to express my words over this episode is very hard because I keep saying underwhelming when I feel like that’s not the right word, yet it feels right. If we were to judge it as the finale for Season 4, it does succeed in giving Lois and Clark what they wanted, even know the circumstances create a mystery that’s never going to be solved. I hate to do this, but I didn’t want to rank this episode in anyway that isn’t its fault. But as it stands, as a finale to the season that ended up becoming the finale for the entire show, despite the circumstances, I’m afraid that I’m going to have to rank this as a LOWLIGHT.
It is here that I normally conclude the review about the season in general, but for this occasion, I want to conclude the entire series as a whole. Going into this series, I was surprised how someone like me who saw the show as campy, cheesy, and even corny was actually the opposite. It could have those elements, sure, but it was heartwarming, it was funny, it was adventurous, it was a very good 90s Superman television series. The first season was all trial and error, but still a good season; Season 2 improved everything, gave us Superman’s villains, as well as developed the romance between Lois and Clark. Season 3 was a mixed bag almost, but it was great to finally see Lois knowing that Clark was Superman. And now we have Season 4, and now we are they finally married, but really become parents too. Teri Hatcher is my favorite Lois Lane; I always saw Clark Kent/Superman being an Everyman with the powers of God, and that’s who Dean Cain embodied. This was such a great show for me that I went ahead and grab the DVD set. I wish it didn’t end at Season 4, I wish there was more. I’m really going to miss this show.
I really wish that they went back and created a revival season, but given the age of the actors, with even some of them passed on by this point, the only thing I can imagine is doing an animated movie that picks up where the show left off, or even a limited series set in current time where the son of Superman and Lois repeats the same steps Clark went in the first season of the show. Those are my ideas, and I know that it’s not in Warner Bros. plans or even James Gunn’s plan to revive the show. I can ask him, he’s very active on Twitter. But I’m not gonna hold my breath.
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is finally over. It was such a great show, and I will miss it. Man did I have such a great time. Question is, what should I watch now?

I wondered if this trend would’ve gone on if the show had continued, with a Season 5 that had issues only to be improved with a Season 6 and so on. But we will never know.
Speaking of which, it’s sad that this is the final season, and there is a misinformation regarding its cancellation. The thing that we’ve been told is that low ratings lead to the show’s cancellation, but a brief history search would indicate that no, this is not the case. If you know the Gundam mecha anime franchise, during this time there was a show called Gundam X which suffered the exact same problem. Lois and Clark’s fourth season was not canceled due to low ratings, nor did the lower ratings lead to the constant change in time slots. The truth of the matter is: Lois and Clark‘s fourth season kept getting changing time slots which led to low ratings. And the show was not canceled because of the low ratings, as a Season 5 was a go from the network. However, sometime after ABC had a change of heart and decided to cancel the show. The producers say that it was because Teri Hatcher was pregnant, and because for a while Season 5 was not gonna have half of their main stars, that led to the network canceling the show. Even with that knowledge, I think that the network just had a change of heart, and decided to focus on something else. Which is a shame, because the show was very good, and another season would’ve capped off the series nicely.
Talking about the good, I don’t want to be a dead horse but yes, I do love the cast. This season also had a number of guest stars that I couldn’t believe were there. Drew Carey, Howie Mandel, even my favorite comedian of all time, Christopher Titus! I also like the fact that unlike the previous seasons, this season had multiple story arcs totaling at 4. It helped with the narrative of the season, where they can still do their standalone episodes while also focusing on multiple story arcs that had a bigger focus. Just to add, I do like the fact that Dean Cain often referenced my hometown of Buffalo New York. Makes sense as Dean Cain was involved with the Buffalo Bills before becoming an actor.
I also should point this out but Batman and in this season Wonder Woman were referenced on the show. It’s not the first time with Clark name dropping Gotham City a couple times in previous seasons, but here, Batman and Wonder Woman were just as known as Superman. I often wondered if Batman and Wonder Woman being referenced was something the producers did in hopes of possibly bringing them over. I highly doubt that, they never even brought that up after the show ended, but it’s kind of fascinating that they would be name dropped as real people and not fictional characters.
Along with the good also comes the bad. But surprisingly enough, I don’t think there’s much bad in this season to talk about compared to the previous seasons. It seems like they knew what worked and what didn’t. The show came into being, let’s say. Of course, I could be forgetting somethings, and I will do the Highlights and Lowlights below, so I’ll leave it at that.
HIGHLIGHTS “Swear to God, This Time We’re Not Kidding” This was instantly a highlight for one good reason: after dealing with the completely horrible and pointless storyline of the last season with a clone Lois, amnesia Lois, third party wanting Lois, and all of that BS. It was a godsend to have this episode, where they finally get married. I also like the fact that the villain in this episode wasn’t a villain all but a victim, thanks to the true villain who was her psychiatrist who was experimenting on her sadness. I do like the fact that she made the right choice after realizing what was going on the entire time. She wasn’t a criminal, and I like the fact that she got herself a happy ending.
“The People vs. Lois Lane”-“Dead Lois Walking” First of all, this is the episode where Christopher Titus makes a quick cameo appearance. I remember being shocked to see in his face. “What are you doing here?!” popped in my head lol. In regards to the entire storyline, I like the fact that this story arc dealt with the limitations of Superman‘s crime fighting. Part of the tragedy of the character is that for the man who can do anything, he can’t do everything. And in regards to this where his wife is wrongfully accused, it really dives into the notion of how little he can do, and how far he could l go before crossing the line. Especially when despite representing the universal concepts of truth and justice, all that fail the hero. How they were going to solve this was interesting, and I loved the writing. This was a well handled episode.
“‘Twas The Night Before Mxymas” I had issues with Season 2’s Christmas episode, but while Season 3’s improved it, Season 4’s was a cherry on top. Such a great feel good episode. I was smiling throughout it. Howie Mandel‘s performance as Mr. Mxyzptlk was well done. The only disappointing part was the realization that this was going to be the final appearance of a Superman villain on the show. We hadn’t had anyone from his rogues gallery since Season 2, so while the return of having one was great, I wish they gave us more. But man this is such a great Christmas episode. I was smiling and giggling when we reached the end. When Christmas rolls around again, I think I’ll watch Season 3 and 4’s Christmas episodes again. Guaranteed.
“Sex, Lies and Videotape” Just like how the Simpsons did it around the same time, this episode focused on tabloid journalism being almost the primary news for a lot of people. We saw those in shows like Hard Copy back in the day, Current Affair; TV shows that would go as far as to judge the situation without evidence or context. Here, having someone taking a photo of Lois and Superman, making out and blowing that out of proportion can lead to the dangerous realization of how much truth Lois and Clark can prove, despite the lies they use 24/7 to cover things like that up. It’s even debated by Lois and Clark when Clark sees lies as the black in black and white, while Lois points out the gray area that even Clark should know. Trying to get them out of the pickle here involved creative thinking, which thankfully the villains in this episode gave by altering the expose photograph in such a way that it was clearly fake.
“Meet John Doe”-“Lois and Clarks” Like I said before, Tempus is not a great villain. More annoying than an interesting bad guy. Even by the shows standards. I’ll explain another appearance below, but I was not looking forward to watching this two parter. But I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. He was a true villain this time, and I like that this was a sequel to the Elseworlds inspired Tempus Alternate Reality episode from Season 3. One of the things that really stuck out for me about this episode was how much it predicted a lot of things 20 years later after it aired. In this case, Tempus as President John Doe was very much like President Trump. And unfortunately, the way everyone roots for him, which are people that l our characters know, kind of hit hard for me on how much a lot of people that I knew showed their true colors when they rooted for an evil man like Trump. And even hit hard when Tempus used the words “make America great again”, affecting me down to my bones.
“Voice From The Past” Debated about adding this or even all three parts. This was the conclusion of The Lex Files, featuring the show’s take on the post Crisis Lex Luthor II. The arc and the episodes were good, but not enough to consider it a highlight. Upon thinking about it, while the first two parts were good, the third started to stand out for me. It happens sometimes when the final part is the combination of everything before, everything else is all set up and small potatoes before building up to the big finish. And that’s why this episode was better compared to the previous two in the fact that we are dealing with the son of Lex Luthor, the mystery on who is and who isn’t the son of Lex, trying to save Lois and doing that so it doesn’t involve killing her mentally, and overall a great final chapter for the show involving Lex Luthor. I guess for those reasons, I listed it here.
“Toy Story” I did like this episode a lot, as it focused on a villain, who hated the world and the adults that controlled it. Preferring the innocence of children within himself to be a true hero, which is why he kidnapped kids so that he could save them from the real world. There is one thing that kept bothering me throughout the entire episode, I think you know what it is, if you thought of it as well. This guy is Toyman. Why not just have him be the second Toyman? If you remember, I didn’t like the show’s version of Toyman, and there’s multiple versions of the character, I didn’t understand why they didn’t just call him that and we would’ve gotten at least two classic Superman villains on the show this season. Beyond that, still good episode.
LOWLIGHTS “Lord of the Flys”-“Battlefield Earth” I never really talked about how I felt about “King Kal-El”. To be honest, the El family being royalty is something I don’t care for unless it’s done well. Sure it made me think of a similar idea from JJ Abrams’ Flyby, but perhaps it’s because it was better handled. It was also a retcon, which normally works if it connects well with established canon, but here Joe-El and Lara were their normal selves from the source material with no indication of anything else different for this incarnation. So it came out of left field.
This two-parter, which in reality is parts three and four to the two part Season 3 finale, was disappointing. We were supposed to be given something interesting regarding New Krypton, the arranged marriage involving King Kal-El, and the ultimate fight between him and Lord Nor (aka General Zod in all but name, which I don’t get why they couldn’t use but okay). And despite the villains being power hungry, they were comedic in unnecessary ways. Lord Nor gets an interview, wearing sunglasses, and it’s cringey, campy. Even the military guys reminded me of the southern hicks from Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks. It was a joke, and I don’t think it was supposed to be. It just didn’t reflect what they were trying to do with this storyline. True the final part is a little better and things are taken seriously, but it still has a number of problems from the previous parts along with its own: execution, and the sad factor of ‘90s superhero shows, budget. Because sadly, this show wasn’t gonna support big concepts, which is why this Kryptonian invasion only covers Smallville and Metropolis. You don’t feel anything large scale because the budget wouldn’t allow that. They could’ve done quick cuts from the news of Kryptonians flying over various locations to create that feel, but they don’t and this is the result. Overall, the storyline was completely pointless. If the Season 3 finale talked a big game, Season 4’s premiere was something that just didn’t deliver.
“Soul Mates” This is the Tempus episode I was referring to above. All of a sudden, Lois and Clark can’t make love because they are cursed. What?! I just couldn’t stand this episode that I thought about cheating and just skipping it. Then I found out I could have, and not miss a thing. This is an example of those Tempus episodes that really show he is an annoying villain, always in the way, and why I hate him.
And now let’s talk about the final episode, which I didn’t put in the Highlights or Lowlights because it is own topic.
“The Family Hour” Going into this episode was going to be disappointing for me, because it’s the final episode of the show that I’ve grown to love. It was also gonna be difficult for me to watch because this finale wasn’t meant to be a series finale, only a season finale. So going into this, it wasn’t gonna be as conclusive as all finales to an entire series normally are.
Plus, i gotta say the Beatles song “The Long and Winding Road” was playing in my head the day I saw the final episode. I already had the title picked for this review, but the fact that it was in my head out of nowhere was unexpected and touching.
So let me get this all the way by saying that the villain in this episode, “Big Head”, was forgettable. I thought his design made me think of the Will Ferrell animated movie Megamind, mixed in with the main character from Hey Arnold. Beyond that, didn’t really care for this villain. Because the show ends after this episode, he was a one time character, which is no different than the others. That said…
There were times where this episode felt underwhelming for me. Given the nature of this episode in regards to the entire series, this is expected. It’s all about Lois and Clark trying to have a child, finding out that they can’t and adopting one is out of the question. They’re basically in a losing battle until the end, where a child miraculously shows up, wearing a blanket with the Superman “S” on it. Producers have said that they were going to reveal the child being part of a Kryptonian dynasty, but if you didn’t know that, you could’ve just said that the Guardian Angel from their wedding episode gave them one, it you want to create something like that in your head canon. Overall though, I felt this episode was underwhelming because it seem like nothing was going for it, just your general episode. Which is a shame because it’s the final episode overall, but they didn’t know that. Trying to express my words over this episode is very hard because I keep saying underwhelming when I feel like that’s not the right word, yet it feels right. If we were to judge it as the finale for Season 4, it does succeed in giving Lois and Clark what they wanted, even know the circumstances create a mystery that’s never going to be solved. I hate to do this, but I didn’t want to rank this episode in anyway that isn’t its fault. But as it stands, as a finale to the season that ended up becoming the finale for the entire show, despite the circumstances, I’m afraid that I’m going to have to rank this as a LOWLIGHT.
It is here that I normally conclude the review about the season in general, but for this occasion, I want to conclude the entire series as a whole. Going into this series, I was surprised how someone like me who saw the show as campy, cheesy, and even corny was actually the opposite. It could have those elements, sure, but it was heartwarming, it was funny, it was adventurous, it was a very good 90s Superman television series. The first season was all trial and error, but still a good season; Season 2 improved everything, gave us Superman’s villains, as well as developed the romance between Lois and Clark. Season 3 was a mixed bag almost, but it was great to finally see Lois knowing that Clark was Superman. And now we have Season 4, and now we are they finally married, but really become parents too. Teri Hatcher is my favorite Lois Lane; I always saw Clark Kent/Superman being an Everyman with the powers of God, and that’s who Dean Cain embodied. This was such a great show for me that I went ahead and grab the DVD set. I wish it didn’t end at Season 4, I wish there was more. I’m really going to miss this show.
I really wish that they went back and created a revival season, but given the age of the actors, with even some of them passed on by this point, the only thing I can imagine is doing an animated movie that picks up where the show left off, or even a limited series set in current time where the son of Superman and Lois repeats the same steps Clark went in the first season of the show. Those are my ideas, and I know that it’s not in Warner Bros. plans or even James Gunn’s plan to revive the show. I can ask him, he’s very active on Twitter. But I’m not gonna hold my breath.
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is finally over. It was such a great show, and I will miss it. Man did I have such a great time. Question is, what should I watch now?

2023.03.12 05:07 Frequent-Baseball952 Really shitty Saturday.
I always count on Saturdays to make money, One Sat was brutal and I only made like $35,
So usually for lunch I can do a shipt of Instacart, I even try starting around 9:30 am. Nothing it was all garbage. then I try lunch and it was all junk too, DD didn't even let me schedule and it was gray. Stopped trying at 1:30 pm 0.00 made figure I will eat a late lunch and start at 3pm
Start at 3 everything is still shit offers.
quit at 3:30 take a nap and start at 4pm UberEats and Grubhub have been on when I tried since lunch too.
No 4 to 6:20 all garbage. Still hoping to make $100 but doesn't look good.
Finally I get a decent DD. $14 for 10 miles, yeah that's decent here if it's an easy pick up place and doesn't go to the next city
So I get to Hungry Howies pizza, the app says take a pic of the catering bag, so I know there must be a hidden tip,
They bring 6 pizza boxes over, but the order says 12 items., Then the guy in charge looks at the screen and says the person forgot to scroll down for the full order. He says 10 to 15 minutes
25 minutes later it's ready. Paid like $21 which is good but not great for something that too like an hour from home to finish.
Then I come back rejecting shit. I see $20 for Wendys for 6 miles. I haven't picked up there in a year but I have to chance it. They said i'm the second person there and they ran out of baked potatoes and it will take 5 to 10 mintues.
the customer says what's up by text. He must realize i"m driver # 3. I tell him they are out of potatoes and they can give him the fries with chili and cheese, he says okay.
so that was lucky because the guy only tipped $3 and UberEats paid $17 to get the order out.
Then I was going home and refused some garbage orders but got a decent $9.50 for chinese takeout
Then I head back home like always and get a decent Chinese take out, I guessed right it was catering because of the miles and pay and how far I was when it was offered. Ended up a box of food for $26 pay
then I go home and get one last order from a hibachi place, like $13 for UberEats. UE his the tip so it paid like $20 when the tip came in
So I got lucky and made my goal of $100 in 3 hours
still shitty because if not for the luck I would have been lucky to make $50.

Hey guys, I’m a published author who recently released a short story collection of Appalachian horror stories. Anyone interested? I’m not from Athens but most of my friends went to OU, I pray at the Church of Joe Burrow and when Hungry Howie left, I felt pain as if I was a local.

2023.03.05 19:45 VintageFairies Anyone need a pizza bag?
My local Hungry Howie's gives me a pizza bag with every order I pick up. I even bring in my bag and they still put the order in a new one. I have at least 5 now. They will sometimes take the extras back, depending on who is working. Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to give the bag to the customer? I haven't dashed since January and hadn't done a Hungry Howie's delivery since last summer. This was what I experienced this weekend.

2023.03.02 16:46 hallach_halil Mapping out the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft:
 | submitted by hallach_halil to NFL_Draft [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/m1k6hy0e2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=747af867eb6c31a5e15a1584cfb0bcb28868ad59 Originally, I didn’t intend on writing about anything football-related this week, since there’ll be a ton of discourse coming out of Indianapolis over the next few days and I have a big recap of the scouting combined planned in video form next week. However, as team personnel and media members get together and information is exchanged, I thought we should take a sober look at the NFL landscape before smokescreens are about to be put out there and people are trying to create different narratives, specifically as it pertains to the draft. Of course, there’ll be legit storylines coming out of this as well, but you can’t allow this new information to change your view too much here. So I decided to sort of create a blueprint for what I believe the first round may look like on April 27th, based on having watched all the players on tape – without testing numbers influencing our opinion – and understanding how different teams operate, what their needs currently are and how they may approach the offseason. I’ll be walking you all through picks one to 31 (or 32, if you count Miami’s forfeited selection) and break them up into certain segments, which could alter what happens next. Let’s start with … https://preview.redd.it/hitumwkg2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=2baf3fdc03233ab5e59a456968d7686e01f165c1 The first overall pick:And there are three options here at the top for the Chicago Bears. Either take the best player on their board – depending on if that aligns with the latter or not – draft another quarterback themselves and likely trade Justin Fields, or trade down with another team, in order to collect additional assets.To me, with the development Fields showed in year two as a processor of information and more consistent accuracy, along with some of the spectacular plays he made – seemingly on a weekly basis – as a runner, I don’t know if there’s somebody in this class worthy of moving on from what you have, other than a very slim argument for having two extra years of contractual control if you reset the rookie QB clock. I believe Georgia’s interior D-lineman Jalen Carter and Alabama edge defender Will Anderson Jr. are in a tier of their own, in terms of the truly elite non-quarterback prospects, but I don’t see how you turn down a haul from another team to swap spots, considering the tax that comes with making a move for a franchise signal-caller. So the question really is – who wants to get their guy? The four teams I’d identify in the top-ten – which I don’t see another real contender outside that range – are the Texans at number two, Colts at four, Raiders at seven and Panthers at nine. Unless you’re counting a pretty good two-plus-year stint or so with Derek Carr, who the Raiders released a couple of weeks ago, all of those franchises have been in quarterback hell for like five seasons now. With a miraculous week 18 win over Indy, Houston would now have to pay a premium most likely just to switch spots to where they could’ve easily been picking, and they’ll probably want to pair new head coach DeMeco Ryans with a signal-caller of his choice. Indy of course made things easier on themselves by staying close to the range for a top QB with the way their season ended, to take a different route than cycling through a bunch of limited veterans. Las Vegas will at least be entering a “re-shaping” phase of their roster, but are in a pretty good position cap-wise (third-most cash available right now). And finally, the Panthers after trading away Christian McCaffrey and people calling for whole-sale changes mid-way through the 2022 season, came up a little short of beating the Bucs in week 17, to put them in the driver’s seat for a default NFC South title. It would certainly be interesting to see what things look like, if you drop a rookie quarterback contract into that situation, with an otherwise pretty impressive collection of talent. Question number two of course is who will be QB1 for these teams? And I think we’re about to see a lot of discourse coming out of Indy, especially once people see Florida’s Anthony Richardson launch 70-yard bombs against air, but I’m still looking at Alabama’s Bryce Young being the pick, once it’s all said and done. https://preview.redd.it/ongkjsyh2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=6406c7c127607304fb0ac5d20eab2329e13173be Picks two to four:2nd – Houston Texas, 3rd – Arizona Cardinals & 4th – Indianapolis Colts Now, we don’t know exactly what the general consensus about this quarterback class looks like, and based on the information team personnel is willing to share late in the evenings at the limited amount of venues around Lucas Oil stadium throughout this week, if anything there might be less clarity on that situation. However, with two teams I mentioned in the market for trading up to number one overall – the Texans and Colts – I feel pretty certain that there’ll be at least one more QB drafted in the top-four, while Arizona at number three is the wildcard, in terms of their willingness to move down a few spots, in case they get a call from another QB-hungry front-office. Most likely to me right now is that we see two go across the first four picks, plus who I believe are pretty clearly the top two overall prospects in this draft – Georgia’s Jalen Carter and Alabama’s Will Anderson Jr. We could of course see somebody else emerge still, such as Texas Tech’s Tyree Wilson in a similar mold to Travon Walker, ascending all the way to first overall, to some degree because of the freakish performance he put up at the combine last year, but Wilson is recovering from a fractured foot and is expected to wait until his pro day before doing any testing. Clemson’s Myles Murphy is a name that could make some noise this week, but I don’t believe GMs and scouts quite see him on that same level with Carter and Anderson either. Other than that, I don’t see a pass-catcher or offensive linemen quite on the level of a top-four selection, and while I really like this corner class, I’m not sure if there’s a consensus on who CB1 is for teams – Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon, Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez and Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr. all have their believers, I would think. https://preview.redd.it/qkqxvvjj2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=22e44426697221729f33aa7ac6997f678a015c68 Seahawks weirdness at number five?Let’s get to the really fun part of this early portion! Seattle just put together an amazing rookie class this past season, with another top-ten pick in offensive tackle Charles Cross headlining the group, along with key contributors throughout all three days. What was somewhat surprising however last April was the fact they did stay in line with the consensus board – which isn’t something we’re accustomed to seeing from them. Other than 2021, when they only made three totals selections, with wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge was their top pick on day two, their first-round picks the prior three years were linebacker Jordyn Brooks, defensive end L.J. Collier and running back Rashaad Penny, who were all well outside the top-50 and not even the top prospects available at their respective positions at that point, based on consensus boards.So in the spirit of “expect the unexpected”, this could really be a turning point for how the first round shakes out. Could the Seahawks be in the quarterback market? We don’t know exactly if and how they can get on the same page with Geno Smith, coming off by far the best season of his career. He made many people believers in 2022 and if he can keep up the level he just showcased, I think he’s worth committing to, but this was a complete outlier year for him in his tenth season. So how long are they willing to bind themselves to him will be very interesting to watch. And if they can find more of a short-term agreement, do they love the idea of a high-ceiling QB like Florida’s Anthony Richardson or Kentucky’s Will Levis? Most likely to me, based on what this roster looks like, is taking the top defensive lineman left on their board, whether that’s Texas Tech’s Tyree Wilson – who is a popular pick for them, based on the type of big, freakish builds John Schneider and Pete Carroll typically covet – Clemson’s Myles Murphy or if they get lucky, or either one of those top two prospects I referenced a couple of times already falling to them, that’s the most logical path to me. But would I be shocked if they went with their favorite corner, traded down or maybe even up? Not in the slightest. https://preview.redd.it/ds9l5wrk2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=d57575f6b56c1d2e6b06b809e564021b92aec588 The second half of the top ten:6th – Detroit Lions (via LAR), 7th – Las Vegas Raiders, 8th – Atlanta Falcons, 9th – Carolina Panthers & 10th – Philadelphia Eagles (via NO) In terms of the players I expect to come off the board between picks six and ten, it may be pretty much as straight-forward as we get over any five-team stretch. Just like two quarterbacks at least being selected through the first five picks, I don’t see much of a path how either of the other two from this “big four” make it out of the top-ten. I also believe with the NFL’s hunger for high-end edge rushers, the third name from this group will be taken in this range (either Texas Tech’s Tyree Wilson or Clemson’s Myles Murphy) and then most likely to me would be two cornerbacks from that trio of Witherspoon, Gonzalez and Porter, since all but one of the teams listed here have a legitimate need at the position. The question will be in which order all of this happens. The Lions are in an interesting position, because they had some great success on offense this past season (fifth in DVOA as a unit) and could target all three levels of their defense in this spot, but considering they only have this pick due to the Matt Stafford-Jared Goff trade and might be picking in the 20s by this time next year, they may look at this as sort of a golden ticket selection and see if they can make a long-term upgrade at the quarterback position, since they can sit somebody behind Goff for a year. At the same time, if they feel like this model can be carried out longer and they want to amass more resources, potentially with the idea of makubg a move a year from now, they’re in a great spot, because the Raiders, Falcons and Panthers could all be looking to jump each other for QB3. And that’s going to create a fascinating conundrum, if whoever ends up being the final guy left from that four-pack of signal-callers is who those other teams expected or wanted to be here. Most likely, I think it may be Carolina making that move, so they get their picking ahead of Las Vegas, because their owner is desperate to address that position finally and while I don’t know a ton about Raiders GM Dave Ziegler, it doesn’t seem in line with the “Patriot way” he and Josh McDaniels brought over, to just swap picks with the team one spot ahead of them, in order to not get jumped. Detroit and Philly meanwhile would be prime landing spots for those corners I referenced. https://preview.redd.it/kicoqk8o2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=8fa824dff26a13dc9fd203e432565f4a0b9aa945 Offensive tackles and wide receivers come off the board:11th – Tennessee Titans, 12th – Houston Texans (via CLE), 13th – New York Jets, 14th – New England Patriots & 15th – Green Bay Packers Would I be surprised if an offensive tackle sneaked into the top-ten? No. A wide receiver? Certainly more so. But I think picks ten to 15 is really the sweet spot for both those position. The three highest-ranked OTs I believe will all be picked here. Those names are Ohio State’s Paris Johnson Jr., Georgia’s Broderick Jones and Northwestern’s Peter Skoronski – who some project to move inside to guard, depending on what his arms measure in terms of length. To me USC’s Jordan Addison in the best wide receiver on tape, with pristine route-running and excellent skills for the position, and TCU’s Quentin Johnston is the type of profile that typically gets taken in the early teens, thanks to his combination of size and explosiveness. I feel pretty good about at least one of those coming off the board in this range, before we get a proper WR run in the 20s. The Titans, Jets & Packers are all very much in the market for offensive tackles, while the Texans & Patriots really need wide receiver help. Once again, I feel better about a tackle run happening, because the Patriots may lose Isaiah Wynn and Marcus Cannon, while Trent Brown only just played a full season for the first time since 2018 – his first year in New England. Depending on Houston’s long-term plans for their book-ends, they could be in the market, but receiver seems more logical, having the first picking at that position most likely. Tennessee and New York could go that route theoretically, but they used first-rounders on it last year, looking back at eventual Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson and a player that certainly had his flashes when healthy, in Treylon Burks. The team that could go off the board to some degree here is the Packers. With the way they value versatile defensive backs and Adrian Amos most likely moving on in free agency, Alabama’s Brian Branch will be popular match, and losing a couple of tight-ends in free agency, a guy with the complete skill-set of Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer could definitely make sense too. https://preview.redd.it/27n3zf9p2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=572ce4e011ba4c17c820469660d97265cac0de71 The odd 16-to-19 range:16th – Washington Commanders, 17th – Pittsburgh Steelers, 18th – Detroit Lions & 19th – Tampa Bay Buccaneers And I don’t want to call the franchises in this area odd, but a couple of teams here have very uncertain quarterback situations. The Commanders are supposedly rolling with Sam Howell, after only starting the final game of his rookie season, while the Bucs’ only guy on the roster currently is a late third-rounder from a couple of years ago in Kyle Trask, who they haven’t really shown an eagerness to get on the field at all. They currently have the least effective cap space available, but I wouldn’t be shocked if GM Jason Licht decided to go all-in for a Tom Brady replacement with one of these veterans, in order to squeeze out what they have remaining on that roster. Meanwhile, the Steelers haven’t shied away from targeting lesser-valued positions by the modern standard early in drafts of recent years, such as running back, linebacker and maybe to a lesser degree, safety. For the Lions, I have been a big fan of what GM Brad Holmes and company have put together in recent draft classes, heavily investing into the trenches along with a big trade up for a guy they specifically went after in speedster wide receiver Jameson Williams last year. For them of course, a lot of what they do with their own first-round pick will depend on what they do sixth overall – will they have taken a chance on a quarterback, gotten a potential blue-chip defensive player or did they maybe trade down? Washington and Pittsburgh could very much be targeting the same player here, if one of the top three offensive tackles or corners falls to this range, or if there’s another name from those positions that is high on their respective boards. The Lions at 18 are an interesting spot, because of what I already mentioned, and they could continue to boost the interior line on offense, with an ass-kicker like Florida’s O’Cyrus Torrence, or defensively with Clemson’s Bryan Bresee, whose mindset I think would be something head coach Dan Campbell would very much buy into. However, if they did address the defense early on and don’t find a way to bring back Jamaal Williams, they may look at this as a luxury pick with Texas all-world running back Bijan Robinson. That’s a name that may at least on the radar for Tampa Bay, if they do push their chips into the middle with a QB, but otherwise I’d think a freakish version of Anthony Nelson (set to hit free agency) in another former Iowa edge defender like Lukas Van Ness, or a long, physical corner like South Carolina’s Cam Smith or Georgia’s Kelee Ringo, would be in the mold of what they’re usually looking for. https://preview.redd.it/ecrwwtfq2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=3c6c95f0fd822e1055075789caa97f6dab1b0ef3 Playoff teams add much-needed pieces:20th – Seattle Seahawks, 21st – Los Angeles Chargers, 22nd – Baltimore Ravens, 23rd – Minnesota Vikings, 24th – Jacksonville Jaguars, 25th – New York Giants & 26th – Dallas Cowboys Not taking the Bucs winning the NFC South by default into account here, these are the seven (and it would be eight, if they Dolphins’ pick wasn’t forfeited) teams that did make the playoffs last year, but still really need one big piece to be able to break through. This includes some NFC contenders, that may have overachieved this past season to some degree, but I do see prospects in this range that could be integral pieces right away for these groups. I believe we could see a substantial wide receiver run start here, as arguably all but the Jags – considering the financial resources they’ve already allocated to that position – are in the market for those guys. Some of my favorite fits include Tennessee’s Jalin Hyatt finally giving the Chargers the much-needed speed to take advantage of Justin Herbert’s underutilized ability to push the ball down the field, before they just made the switch at offensive coordinator, Boston College’s Zay Flowers being a legit number one for the Ravens, with the complete skill-set to move all over the formation, and Ohio State’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba being the consistent chain-mover through the air that the Giants simply don’t have yet. And it’s not just wideouts, but also two or three tight-ends worthy of being considered in this stretch. I already referenced Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer as more of your traditional Y, but I think Dalton Kincaid’s natural route-running and ball-skills will make him a very intriguing name coming out of Utah and depending on what he’ll run at the combine, Oregon State’s Luke Musgrave’s name has reportedly been shooting up boards. The Jags and Cowboys very well could be looking to replace leaving starters, and the Chargers may want to upgrade as well. Jacksonville’s biggest need if they let Jawaan Taylor walk in free agency would be right tackle, where they may have a couple of intriguing options, such as Tennessee’s Darnell Wright and Ohio State’s Dawand Jones. For the other three teams, if they don’t go wide receiver, the Seahawks may be a great landing spot for the best center available in my book in John Michael Schmitz (Minnesota), due to the sudden retirement of Austin Blythe just a couple of days ago. The Vikings still need to add more youth to their secondary and could cash in on Alabama’s Brian Branch potentially falling, if teams don’t buy in on a designated nickel defender, or grab a corner. And finally, the Cowboys at this stage of the first round typically like to go for hyper-athletes on the edge, if Iowa’s Lukas Van Ness somehow makes it down here – which I don’t expect – or maybe this is where Georgia Tech’s Keion White comes off the board. They could also go the linebacker route once again though. https://preview.redd.it/j3kf8tmr2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=82fca4ed9dbd7972cb1ae26a59441be929f4b677 Do the Bills end the Bijan Robinson fall at 27th overall?Let me make this clear right away – Texas running back Bijan Robinson to me is one of the very few elite prospects at his position and he may very well be the third name on my big board, behind only Georgia’s Jalen Carter and Alabama’s Will Anderson Jr., if you don’t take positional value into account. With all the analytics saying you should never draft a running back in the first round, people have kind of gone nuts in this discussion, because while there aren’t many situations where I would advocate paying an RB top-of-the-market money, I look at investing an early pick on the position as more of a valuable short-term investment. If you draft Bijan on day one, you have contractual control of a potential All-Pro player for five years, and then you can still franchise-tag him a couple of times, if it makes sense. And looking back at the two names who went in this range two years ago (Najee Harris and Travis Etienne), they’re currently 19th and 20th respectively in AAV (average annual value).So why the hell would the Texas superstar ever fall this far? Well, with how analytics-driven many of these organizations have become, I do tend to knock running backs down a notch or two in my projections, and more importantly – I simply can’t find a great landing spot for Robinson, when I put together mock drafts. Unless the Panthers make a move for Derek Carr or Aaron Rodgers and think Bijan could be that one last piece all the way at number nine overall, or Howie Roseman shockingly uses that extra first-rounder, because he dreams about what this kid could look like in that offense, there aren’t many spots from that point on that really stand out. Other than maybe the Lions at 18th overall, I don’t believe any team in the teens has the luxury of picking a back, in part because Detroit has the sixth pick and could be adding even more draft capital. And as fun as a Lamar Jackson-Bijan backfield might be, they would much rather add receiver help and still very much believe in J.K. Dobbins. So really the only the other team I can see the stop the slide in this range are the Cowboys, considering Tony Pollard’s rookie contract just ran out and I can easily see Jerry Jones want that kid from nearby. For the Bills, while their Divisional Round loss to the Bengals was a harsh reality check, that there are still areas they need to upgrade, before quite breaking all the way through, getting a complete back like Bijan, who can create offense without Josh Allen having to be superman, would be more valuable for them than some other teams. It’s not the way they typically operate, but this may be the one move they feel like could really take them over the top. https://preview.redd.it/vusxapks2bla1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc72875ee211b94cbbdae553fd4cf43025400aaa Closing out the first round with high-ceiling prospects:28th – Cincinnati Bengals, 29th – New Orleans Saints (via DEN from SF), 30th – Philadelphia Eagles & 31st – Kansas City Chiefs In this final four-team stretch, I expect to see multiple names of players that may not be full-time starters in their rookie seasons, but have the potential for big pay-offs down the road. Obviously, the odd side here are the Saints, who received this pick in the Sean Payton trade, after the 49ers originally sent it to Miami, when they moved up for Trey Lance a couple of years ago, who then exchanged it for Bradley Chubb coming over from Denver. With the Bengals, Eagles and Chiefs, they’re obviously set up to for a Super Bowl hunt, looking at what they have on their respective rosters, but they do lose some pieces that played key roles in getting these teams here. Cincy could be doubling down on the secondary after picking Dax Hill late last year, if they end up letting two(-and-a-half) starters walk, or they may be in the market for one of these talented tight-ends, such as Georgia’s Darnell Washington, who would also basically function as a swing tackle. Philly could be losing up to six or seven starters on defense and while they haven’t traditionally prioritized linebacker, going back to the well with an edge rusher or grabbing a high-traits corner, if they went elsewhere with pick number ten, could make sense. And Kansas City depending on who they bring back on their receiving corp and if they can get on page with left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., could be targeting those areas, but this is sort of a sweet spot for edge rusher, where they may want to add one more guy to help them close out games. The Saints are in a bit of a weird spot, because they’re already trying to restructure deals again and refuse to accept they should be in somewhat of a rebuild. Realistically, they should simply take the BPA (best player available) approach. If there’s a receiver they like still hanging around, that would definitely be an option, but they’ll most likely let Marcus Davenport walk and love to grab toolsy defensive ends in the first. The three names on the edge for them and the two Super Bowl participants are probably LSU’s B.J. Ojulari, Georgia’s Nolan Smith and Iowa State’s Will McDonald. This is typically the area for a potential trade back up, if somebody wants to take a gamble on a quarterback, but I just don’t see anybody with the natural talent to command that, due to the massive drop-off from the “big four”. I’d also be interested if we maybe see LB1 come off the board around here.

Currently building out a new Hungry Howie's Pizza and Pen Station Subs. Corporate ppl come and go sometimes and lately two people have been here in the unfinished building holding interviews. The amount of shit they all talk about employees and potential employees while standing right behind me is disgusting. Like you realize I work for a living right? I fucking hate all of these people, they are so transparently racist and do not see employees as human beings one bit.
Looking forward to the next time one of them addresses me in hopes I'll commiserate with them so I can ask how much they pay.

2023.02.03 13:07 Outside-Landscape-89 I’ve only been dashing a week. Last night order came through which I did not accept -it was not only $2.50 but also cash on delivery.Would this would mean I had to pay for the order and then they reimburse me? What if they don’t answer the door?

2023.01.22 05:51 TheNumber152003 Is Starry already available in Pepsi carrying restaurants?
Since Sierra Mist got discontinued and replaced with a new lemon lime soda called Starry, (I haven't even tried some yet), will they be available in soda fountains in restaurants that carry Pepsi products, and coolers in pizza places that carry Pepsi products? (but sometimes, pizza places can have both bottled drinks and fountain drinks)
Once the Sierra Mists in the Pepsi pizza places, such as Mountain Mike's (no Mountain Mike's in Florida), Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, Marco's Pizza, Papa John's, Hungry Howie's, or Round Table (also no Round Table in Florida) get sold out, they probably already have Starrys in the drink coolers already! Did anyone see them there before? I haven't.

2023.01.20 03:46 TheNumber152003 What restaurants would be next to switch soda contracts?
So... you saw my post about giving you a list of restaurants that switched soda contracts. But now, it's time for this:
What if...
• Sonic Drive-In from Coca-Cola to Pepsi? (If they did, they would still keep Canada Dry Ginger Ale)
• Chick-Fil-A from Coca-Cola to Pepsi?
• Panera Bread from Pepsi to Coca-Cola?
• Carrabba's Italian Grill from Coca-Cola to Pepsi?
• Hooters from Pepsi to Coca-Cola?
• Steak N' Shake from Coca-Cola to Pepsi?
• Chipotle from Coca-Cola to Pepsi?
• Domino's Pizza from Coca-Cola to Pepsi? (Domino's in other countries can have Pepsi products)
• P.F. Chang's from Coca-Cola to Pepsi?
• Buca Di Beppo from Pepsi to Coca-Cola?
• Church's Chicken from Coca-Cola to Pepsi?
• Skyline Chili from Pepsi to Coca-Cola?
• Cici's Pizza from Coca-Cola to Pepsi?
• Outback Steakhouse from Coca-Cola to Pepsi?
or...
• Hungry Howie's Pizza from Pepsi to Coca-Cola?
Well, most pizza places (Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Little Caesars) serve Pepsi, and most burger restaurants (McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's) serve Coca-Cola!
Papa John's and Little Caesars, like I said in my other post, did serve Coca-Cola before, but Papa John's switched to Pepsi in January 2012, which was 11 years ago, and Little Caesars switched to Pepsi, too in 2007, which was about 16 years ago, I'm not sure what month. Little Caesars still has Coca-Cola products in other countries.

2023.01.08 05:05 Guitarmann1994 No dough bowl at hungry howies pizza
It’s pizza toppings with the sauce in a bowl. Like meat cheese and pizza sauce. Could this be keto since it has no bread? Only asking because I searched all over their website and they don’t have nutritional info on this item which I find really odd.
