11 TV Moments Everyone Was Waiting For (That Never Happened)

Few TV cliffhangers have been as massive as the one that arrived at the end of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman's fourth season. The couple, who'd finally got married and moved into a new home, arrived at their house to find a mysterious baby there.

Who was that child? Where did they come from, and who left them there? How would Lois and Clark adjust to being parents, and would the child take after his 'father' in becoming a superhero? There were a number of questions, and a number of moments ripe with potential, all of which were not only expected to be seen by fans, but intended to be shown by creators.

The fifth season would've done exactly that, with the baby ageing rapidly into a teenager and developing powers, but the show was unexpectedly cancelled, meaning the cliffhanger instead became the series finale.
