Ned & Lois #1 December 15, 1993 - January 31, 1994: 4 hour original dvd 12/15 Ned goes undercover to a hotel in Buffalo to check it out, his alias is "Eddie Maine". While in the bar, he meets Lois. When he notices her fingernails, she explains that it is an outlet for being obsessive/compulsive so she doesn't drive people around her crazy. She tells him the history behind her managing a band, and that her current band is called "The Idle Rich". He rips the band's performance and says the lead singer has a promising career as a butcher. She tells him he shouldn't criticize what he can't do better. He taunts her, how does she know he can't do better?She takes him up on it and announces to the audience that Eddie Maine will be performing. He meets the challenge, sings "Seventh Son" with the band and blows Lois away with his performance. As he comes off the stage triumphantly, he grabs Lois and kisses her. As he leaves the bar, she goes after him and brings him back. She accuses him of hustling her, that he is really a professional singer. He tells her he is a professional salesman, selling Pharmaceuticals. She offers him a job as the lead singer and tells him he doesn't have to give up his day job. He turns her down. 12/16 Back in his hotel room, Ned answers the door to find Lois lounging seductively against the door frame. She launches into her persuasive sales pitch on why he should join the band. The idea of trying to combine singing and his "day job" doesn't sound plausible to him. She tells him he doesn't have to commit to forever, she just wants him to do another set that night. He agrees and sings "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" (?). Lois is absolutely mesmerized. She goes back up to his room afterwards and tells him he was so awesome that she will remember him singing that night for the rest of her life! He thanks her but again says he can't join the band. She pushes him down on the bed and crawls over him to kiss him. Next morning, Ned wakes up with a big smile on his face. He flashes back to the night before. Lois also wakes up with a glowing smile, he tenderly strokes her hair. he tells her that the last 24 hrs have been close to perfect. She again beeches him to join the band. He tells her he has responsibilities and the idea of chucking it all to join a band is outrageous. She gets him to first admit how much he loved performing, then gets him to agree to joining the band for 3 months. Ned is tempted by the thought, and finally agrees. When Ned tells her she can't reach him at home, she makes him swear on a bible that he isn't married. He gives her his cell # as he travels so much. 12/17 Back in PC, Ned calls Lois. She tells him they have their first gig planned. He tells her he regrets ever having to get out of bed with her. Ned & Edward are arguing when Lois calls him next.

Lois calls to tell him they have a rehearsal scheduled for the next night. 12/28 She arrives at his hotel room and rushes into his arms, they kiss passionately. Then she tells him to take his pants off. He looks a bit shocked. She then tells him she has a present for him. He is not sure what to think about the tight black leather pants that she gives him. They fit perfectly, he models them for Lois without wearing a shirt. At first he feels awkward in them, then decides he likes them and starts singing acapella to Lois. She pushes him down on the bed again, he flips her over this time so he is on top, they make love. Later, Ned tells Lois some whoppers about his family.
