I just started watching this as my son and I caught a re run. Nt a bad show. I like the spin they put on Clark as a boy in Smallville.

New air is Sept 29 I believe , it's a Thursday night on WB in High Def.

Anyone else watch Smallville??

    I use to when ABC Family picked it up. I have seen Seasons 1-4 about a bazillion times each, I know what the episode is about 2 minutes into it. Seriously. But WB is currently playing the 5th season and hasn't sold the rights to ABC Family. I don't have time to do the whole shows once a week at blah blah blah time. Hard for me to remember. Which is why I miss The Dead Zone, 4400, and Monk so much! :mad:

    I want to see the 5th season dangit!

    Isn't the 5th season just getting started this month?? Or are they in the 6th season? I'm not up to speed yet.

    I watch all the re runs on ABC Family. Also on ABC HD at night.

    I make the time to watch as I have HD DVR cable. I record it.

    WB is currently showing the 5th season of Smallville and Gillmore Girls (which is a great show too if you just give it a chance)...

    Apparently they are only supposed to last 5 seasons... the 5th season of Smallville basically ends where he becomes Soopaman...

    That would kinda suck if they stop there. I find that show to be really good for a Superman show. I dug all the Superman shows. Louis and Clark was excellent and this is right there with it.

    Well at least I have 5 seasons of shows to watch... sounds to me lke a great DVD collection to pick up. 1 to 4 is out already

    Its a great show...

    Around the 3rd and 4th season it gets darker and more complex a bit and you learn more...

    I want to see the 5th season dangit...

    If you like Smallville, you need to watch The 4400 on USA.

    I was just there and only saw 1 2 and 3. No 4th there. I believe I was in Princeton , Nj when I saw 4, but I could be wrong.

    I picked up 2.

    Well damn !!!!!!!!

    I finished season 2. Again they leave you wanting so much more. Lana and Clark finally became a couple but of course they have to screw that all up. Clark kills his unborn brother/sister by mistake and his true father wants him to rule the world. To top all that off Lex's wife most likely dies in the plane crash.

    O I almost forgot that Clark finds a ring with black Kryptanite and rides off to who knows where. PERFECT.

    Well needless to say I have to go buy season 3 tomarrow or Tuesday when season 4 comes out. At this rate I should have taken in 4 years of Smallville in a matter of a few weeks......

    Ok damn.....

    The way season 3 kicks off... dark as hell. I was kinda shocked to see them tell this story with this added in. I like it nonetheless.

    When they say season 3 is dark , they sure hold that true.

    I'm just about finished with season 3 , I have 2 disc's left. I went out and picked up season 4 before the sale was over so I have that to get ready for season 5 which is sept 29th.

    okey ,I have only two shows left to watch on the forth season and I must say that so far it really SUCKS, the frist episode of season four really got me in to watching the rest of the dvd's , but so far its been nothing but filler shows about some freak that comes to Smallville ands starts zapping people, and then Clark saving the day then his parents go into telling him how proud of him they are and how he must keep secret, with exception of a couple of shows about some crystals and Lana turning in to a dead witch, thats about it. I mean there's no Jor-El no Cal- El nothing and hardly anything about the caves or clark finding out more about himself. It's really going to take alot for these last two episode to justify dropping $40 bucks on this thing

    finish the season and be cool with the last ep. It rocks. It sets up season 5 which is coming sept 29th. They did a good job of that. I can see what your talking about with the proud and filler comments. All and all a good show. I just watch 4 years of Smallville in like 2 weeks. I got 4 and watched it all.

    Looks like the show is heating up and getting close to actual Superman action. I really hope they don't do something stupid and throw in an episode again where he gets hit with lightning and transfers his powers to someone. Some of the Kryptonite Freaks of the Week were worthless too. He needs to bang Lana and Chloey! Have a 3 way in the Fortress of Solitude for crying out loud!!! :D
