Summary: The Legend Begins
Review: I have been a fan of Superman all my life, through many continuities and adaptations. Is this the BEST version of the legend? No. At least not when judged by the standards of the first season.
With a new show, it often takes a while to find the right footing with which to portray your characters abd situations to their best effect. The second and third seasons of 'Smallville' show a quantum leap in improvement as regards quality and content. Nevertheless, this box set is a great jumping on point for those unfamiliar with the show, or with the Superman mythos in general. As a new beginning, this show has taken the story of the world's first (and greatest) superhero to a new level. The special effects are stellar, and the cast works hard to make the outrageous premises believable.
That being said, the one gripe about Season One in general is that there are too many episodes which rely on the premise of Kryptonite (in the show at this point, they say 'meteor rocks') affecting a Smallville teen and causing a new supervillain. But these problems have been ironed out in subsequent seasons, so that the initial premise now seems kind of . . . sweet, in a nostalgic sort of way.
All things considered, since this is the BEST version of the Superman mythos ever committed to live action )when based on what comes next), and any quibbles with the minor drawbacks are . . . minor. I would recommend this one to anyone from eight to eighty who loves the character, or anyone who loves stories about outsiders trying to make it in a hostile world.

Summary: GOOD SHOW!!
Review: For a while this used to be my favorite show on earth and when I saw this was coming out I went crazy!! This show is about Clark Kent (teenager, superman) growing up with many diffulcuties ahead of him. He has a crush on Lana Lang(Kristen Kreuk) but she already has a boyfriend. This includes the first 21 episodes with some but few special features. This is a great show. So please get this. The second season is coming soon and I recommend that because I saw every episode of that season. Its better than this one. Dont even think about getting this dvd, just do it.

Summary: Worst Series Ever...
Review: This Series is the biggest piece of crap I have seen in a long time. They used (and ruined) the Superman story to pull of another Dawsons-Creek-Chick-Series.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Buy this DVD set it is sure to be a treasure!!
Review: I love this DVD set!! Includes all 21 first season episodes, in a nice box set. Basically, I love Superman, and I love the TV Series "Smallville". Superman as a teenager going through what all of us do with an extra burden - to help people with his alien talents and not let anyone know. Begins with the story we all know so well about the meteors, and "him" finding the Kents. Then it expands brilliantly on that, how Smallville becomes a town "cursed" with people who are infected/affected by Kryponite fallout, but mostly focuses on how Clark Kent/Superman comes to possess and develop each new talent. This series really develops Superman in a new way - we come to understand why he is the way he is. These DVDs explore his hometown, childhood friends (whom include his arch-enemy Lex Luthor), and his parents Jonathan and Martha Kent. You get to care for the characters, know them. You never get bored, always eager for the next episode. Superb acting! Not to mention watching gorgeous Tom Welling as Superman is a definite plus! I wish the DVD set had better bonus features, or at least a music video but, overall it rocks!!! All I have to say is when is the next season coming out on DVD? Whether you are a Smallville fan, just a Superman fan, or just plain "curious", this is the DVD for you! Action, drama, comedy, sci-fi, romance, and suspense!!!

Summary: A good buy
Review: The entire Season One on six DVD plus extra material-that is a lot of viewing,and repeated viewing,too-for your money.Clark and his parents are the central characters in this season,but we also get to know Lex Luthor and his often so complicated life.
The extra material includes,among other things,cut scenes,commentary and an interactive tour of Smallville.
Buy the books and the soundtrack too!

Summary: A New Beginning... A New Legacy To Begin With!
Review: I wasn't much of a Superman fan. Not for comics, not for the previous TV Series "Lois & Clark". But a friend of mine recommended me "Smallville"... well, not just 1 but many had recommended it to me.

So I give it a try. And watch the entire 21 episodes and to my surprise it was very different. And I found myself holding on to it with the characters, the stories and the best part of all, its the human touch and drama.

Everything was well written. The characters were interesting, the story isn't stupid or dumb but intelligent. And for just 21 episodes, it just leaves me back for Season 2 (and where is it?).

I feel on the overall basis this is a DVD Boxset you will want to pick up. Its just for everyone to enjoy and its a family TV Series you will just glue yourself on to the TV Screen. Although the extras isn't much, the episodes will keep you going and rooting.

get this season to begin with... and you'll feel Superman (before then) has a place in your collection. Believe me... a man can fly.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Save For Season 2
Review: I would recommend skipping this season, and saving your money for season 2, due out this spring, which will actually HAVE extras.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In the Beginning...
Review: This First Season DVD set is a great way to introduce someone to the "Smallville" legacy. Over the span of six discs, all of Season one is shown, from the Pilot episode to the sean finale "Tempest." "Smallville: The Complete First Season" also contains commentary from the cast and crew of the show, as well as a tour of the town of Smallville. While this is an amazing DVD set, the series still was in its beginnings. This is the reason we see so many "villians of the week" in season one, but the show still remained enjoyable. For fans of the show and new-comers, this DVD collection is a must-have!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm also wondering when the Season Two DVD is coming out!!!
Review: My daughter last week gave me Season One to watch. I didn't watch the show and understand it is in the Third Season. I'm hooked. After watching episode 21, I'm can't wait to see what happened. When is it coming out?
