8/7c Fox
It has been 12 years since Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman was canceled, so we'll see just how rusty Dean Cain's superpowers (mental division) have become.

Go to the movies and you can hear Queen Latifah as a mama-to-be woolly mammoth in the animated comedy Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. And this morning you can hear her as herself on GMA. She has a new album, Persona (executive-produced by Miami duo Cool and Dre), so cue the record promoters. Its first single is "Cue the Rain," so you can expect that she'll perform it. But here's hoping she doesn't actually bring it to Central Park (at least until after the concert's over).
