Summary: Somebody Save Me!
Review: This is the best show I've seen in a long time. It's pure escapism at it's best! Something you can come home after a hard days work and totally veg out with. Oh, and Clark Kent (Tom Welling) being a total hottie doesn't hurt either.

Summary: The Greatest!
Review: Smallville is the best show I've seen on the WB in forever! I can relate to some of the problems on the show, but in a more realistic way. Smallville is a VERY good show! Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, Allison Mack, John Schneider, Annette O'Toole and Sam Jones all do a great job on the show! I really hope this show has tons of great seasons! It's too good to stop on the 3rd season! I have both seasons 1 & 2 on dvd at the moment, and any of you who haven't gotten them yet, you're missing out! The special features and commentaries are great!

Summary: Great series!NEVER boring,exciting to watch with the family
Review: I got hooked on this show by accident.
I always heard about it but never made an attempt to watch it because it was on the WB and most of the shows on this network are similar to one another in terms of good looking people fighting over who wants to get the cute girl or guy. I also thought Smallville was about a dude controlling or interacting with aliens (like X-files or something)...then the more episodes I watched the more it started to make sense. I was a fan!I had to get the box set because I had to watch everything from the beginning. Every single episode is EXCITING! None boring. Tom Welling does this role great...I actually feel for his character Clark when his powers become a little overwhelming to handle at times and he wishes he was normal and didn't have to hide. Clark is every woman's dream with the sensitivity issue...he says all the right things...the woman are already feeling him on that...why can't they find him a girl though to hold him over til Lois Lane? We all know that he doesn't end up with Lana in the end plus The Cat and mouse thing with Lana gets a bit tired at times. I can bet if the series goes to Metropolis when Clark is all grown up....guess who will play Lois? Kristin Kreuk. Everyone does great in this series especially Michael Rosenbaum as Lex, I actually felt sorry for Lex at times because he too has tons of issues, half the time he is lonely and drinking some sort of alchohol beverage or driving around in the latest sports car...filling this void, you almost wish he never turns into THE Lex Luthor...but just like Anaken SkyWalker in Star Wars episode II who turns into the Evil Darth Vader Lex changes too...sadly...his character is very likable, most of the times he means well but it just ends up looking bad for him no matter what he does. I haven't seen season 2 yet (awaiting it's arrival to purchase it) The season one price was a bit high but definitely worth it though, bonuses, interactivity, it's great, recommended. The only CREATIVE series left on TV.

Summary: This dvd is awesome
Review: Trust me, you will love this if you buy it! When my friend first showed me Smallville I loved it right on the first episode! This has all the best episodes on it. You will be suprised at how satisfied you will be after watching all of these episodes! And after you watch all of the first season episodes you will be miserable until the next season comes out in dvd! Smallville is the best! There is no better t.v. series out here! When I bought the first season I loved it so much I watched all of the episodes in about 1 day! After that I was checking up on the internet trying to find out when the second season is coming out and it almost killed me. Buy it and you will be satisfied!

Summary: Somebody save me...
Review: ...before I lose control and buy it!!! This show has hit some rough spots recently (O.K., most of Season Three. ANYway...), but here, the HoYay is back and better than ever. Watch teenage Clark and Lex dance around each other, lusting for that moment we all want to see, when they can rip each others' clothes off and, well, do what comes natur'lly. In the meantime, there's Clark's on-again/off-again "romance" (and I use sarcastic quote marks) with lame-ass Lana Lang (Kristen Kreuk, the bland leading the bland), hanging out with best buddy/token black guy (you know it's true!) "Sneaky" Pete (Sam Jones III, woefully underused), and workin' on the farm with his folks, Martha (Annette O'Toole, a.k.a. Lana Lang in "Superman III") and Jonathan (John Schneider. 'Nuff said). Also, he has to hide his powers from spunky junior reporter Chloe (Allison Mack, whose energy is a welcome relief from Lana's wimpiness) and the heavy of the piece, Lex's father, Lionel (John Glover, who totally rocks). Oh, and there's Kryptonite, too, which results in many, many disposable villains (not to mention bad hair days for Clark). For now, there's only two varieties; the green stuff (which creates & empowers the baddies, but kills Clark...slowly...very...slowly...), and the red stuff (which brings out Clark's "bad boy" persona [SEE: the end of Season 2/beginning of Season 3]). That about sums it up, so I heartily recommend this show to both long-term Superman fans and new fans who are just discovering the genre.

Summary: All around good show
Review: As far as most tv shows go, this one has been a great hit for the WB from the beginning. Like many other viewers, i was hooked since the pilot and sure can't wait to find out more about Clark's still developing character. There are many faults with teh show however, as this season is very repetive. Heres why. Each episode, except for the first and last have a villain who is affected by the kryptonite. If you are a viewer who can watch a show and not be bothered by the fact that a guy stung by an "infected" swarm of bugs turns into a bug himself and a guy sitting in a sauna with kryptified steam turns into a pyromaniac, then this is the show for you. Im a guy who has no problem with that or the fact that 20 something actors are actually trying to portray 14 and 15 year old kids. Thats right, Clark and his friends are freshmen and high school, yet with all the other stuff that goes on in the episodes, you'll forget about that pretty quickly. If you're a girl, then you're gonna like the show for tom welling and all the times he appears as the knight in shining armor. For guys, there's krisin kreuk and her pool scene and of course there's clark kickin some major tail. Its really easy to be pulled in and for a show like this i say why not. It does have something for everybody, but if youre out of the 13-30 demographic, you might want to pass. The real draw of this episode for me was Clark finding himself and his powers. Every couple of episodes or so, Clark finds that he has x-ray vision or is immune to bullets. The season finale and an earlier episode lead us on to his flight abilities. For guys, this will probably be a good present for your girl, but for girls, make sure you know ure man before you give him this teen drama. If he read comic books as a kid, he'll probably like it though. And for parents... well it'd be a great gift for your kid who's still tryin to figure out who they are. Another words, its closer to 24 than seventh heaven, but its got some major similarities to both. This show has charm and wit, and the Man himself, and if you're not gonna be that geek who's always whispering in the back of a movie theater about how tie fighters shouldnt be able to go faster than x-wings or some crap like that then you should give this a try. Worst case, you dont like it and you give it to someone who definitely will.

Summary: AMAZING!!!!
Review: This is one of the most amazing shows on television. I love this show! i have loved superman ever since i was a kid watching nick at nite and watching the movies. when this show came on i wasn't even aware of it but i started watching in the second season and i loved it! the first season is awesome, really setting stuff up for seasons to come. the sly references to superman mythology is genius and the writing is awesome. definetly gets stronger in the last half of the season and ithas been n an upward climb since! best show on the wb because it is not just some stupid teen drama. they reinvent the mythology of this hero wonderfully and continue to do so. definetly buy this and season 2 when it comes out!

Summary: Before the super, meet the man
Review: No one thought it would work; the concept of Dawson's Creek crosses X-Files crosses Buffy crosses the Superman mythos seemed like typical "inspiration" from the suits at WB. Did TV really need to butcher another famous superhero icon? Fortunately for the viewers and everyone involved, Smallville got the formula right. Appealing to both casual and hardcore Superman fans, the series fleshes out the critical years of Clark Kent's early life. It puts a human face on a hero that has, more often than not, been treated as an icon and not a character. Smallville rewrites the Superman mythology in several places, most notably by having Clark befriend a young Lex Luthor (note: this actually happened in the old comics, but was wiped out of continuity later on). These alterations work, and a large amount of the credit goes to the actors. Michael Rosenbaum *is* Lex Luthor, and Tom Welling is an equally-impressive Clark Kent. Rounding out the top-notch cast are Kristen Kreuk as Lana Lang, Annette O'Toole as Martha Kent, and Jonathan Schneider as Jonathan Kent. Special mention to Eric Johnson, playing the thankless role of Lana's jock boyfriend. Season 1 of Smallville could be considered pretty routine; major plot points are sprinkled here and there throughtout the season while Clark battles "freak of the weeks" who have been transformed by kryptonite. However, the cast has great chemistry, the effects are top notch, and even the most cliched of episodes become a guilty pleasure. The first few episodes are generally weak, but the latter half of the season and the cliffhanger finale demonstrate what Smallville is capable of. WB has done a decent job of releasing season 1. Decent in that audio/video is above average, but the extras are too few. WB basically got lazy and copied the extras over from the Canadian-only single-disc release of Smallville. Great if you've never seen these extras before, but so much more could've been added (disc 6 only houses 1 episode, leaving tons of unused space). Still, for a quality series like Smallville, extras are just icing on the cake. If you have any interest in Superman or have a soft-spot for teenage drama/action shows, I highly recommend Smallville.

Summary: The best show out there!!!
Review: I have never been a Smallville fan, and to tell the truth I have never watched a episode on TV before, (accept for the occastional flip through)and I have no idea why I decided to buy this DVD set, but I am really, really glad I did. It is by far one of the best shows I have ever seen on TV. I fell in love with characters after the first episode and now I am a HUGE fan of the show and I can't wait for the 2nd season to come out!!!

Summary: An American Myth recreated with more depth and soul
Review: I dare anyone, Superman fan or not, to watch the Pilot episode of Smallville and not want to see more. The Pilot is so well crafted that it sets the rest of the season up for success. The casting, chemistry, writing, and acting are all superb. The entire first season unwraps to put a fresh spin on a story decades old. The tale goes beyond comic book heroes and delves into father/son dynamics and coming of age angst. The first season puts Smallville on the map as one of the best television shows out there.
