History LovePotion / LiveActionTV

* A villainess in an episode of ''Series/LoisAndClark'' used as massive amount of love potion on the workers of the Daily Planet causing everyone to fall in love with someone else, with Clark being the only one immune to the effects. It also can only work if that person is at least attracted to the first person they saw. Or any person they see before the potion wears off. This also turns into the earliest episode where Lois should be able to discover the identity of Superman. Under the spell, Lois says that Clark looks like Superman; she dismisses this line afterwards, but clearly remembers. However, it is unclear why Lois is not suspicious of Clark's immunity to the spell. She clearly does not accept his claim he has no feelings for her, and if she does she is totally blind to the ways of men. The claim of no feelings does not mesh with how he had interacted with her so far. She clearly remembers what she did under the spell, since she remembers his lines that amount to saying he will not give in because he will not take advantage of her, even though he has dreamed of her doing things along the lines of what she is doing. The moment she comes to is also the moment that he professes a deep desire for her. The one thing that might prevent Lois Lane from figuring out that Clark Kent is Superman is that when Superman gets exposed to the potion, in stopping the even more nefarious plans for it, he pretends to be under its power, and gives Lois the same moral dilemma of resisting or accepting the overtures of a spellbound lover. Why Clark being able to resist where Superman was overcomes does not raise more questions than it answers for the unstoppable, award winning investigative reporter Lois Lane is not at all clear.

** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E31TheChaser The Chaser]]", based on the short story by John Collier, features a DoggedNiceGuy who buys a love potion for just $1 (!) to win over his indifferent would-be love interest. She becomes his [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Wife]] and smothers him so much that he shells out $1,000 for a vial of the euphemistically named "[[PerfectPoison glove cleaner]]" ...and then drops the glass containing it when she startles him with the news that she's pregnant. (It's made quite clear that the potion-seller only charged a buck for the original potion because he knew the chump would soon be back for the "antidote".)
** In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS4E109JessBelle Jess-Belle]]", the title character buys a potion from a witch that, when she consumes it, makes her irresistible to the man she loves. Unfortunately, it also turns her into a soulless witch who becomes a leopard at night.
