Summary: SuperTV
Comment: I've watched this series over and over. If you have the slightest interest in Superman, you don't want to miss this saga. I will admit, there are a few episodes every season that hiccup the main plot, but the cast of characters makes you angry, sad, and happy. You owe yourself to give it a try. Buy the whole series through season 7 and keep watching the tv program. It won't last forever.

Summary: Clark's "saved" count season 1
Comment: I really like the first season; it's very well done. Good, solid stories, and I liked seeing Lex and Clark as best friends. I was rooting for Lex, hoping he could overcome the urge to be evil, even though I knew it was not to be. And, to prove I have no life, I watched the season with a checklist in front of me, and here's what I counted as far as who Clark saved this season, and how many times.
Lana=7
Lex=6
Jonathan=2
Martha=4
Chloe=4
Pete=2
Lionel=0
Random Hot Chick=2
Random Guy=9
Someone who was just trying to kill Clark=4
Other (group of people, entire world, etc.) 2
Total individual saves, not counting "other"=40

Summary: "I Suppose You Stashed My Spaceship in the Attic." "Actually, It's in the Cellar."
Comment: Even those of us who don't read comics know the story of Superman. But what was life like growing up for him? That's the focus of this series. And it is surprisingly addictive.
Set in modern times, we join Clark Kent (Tom Welling) is Smallville, Kansas. He's a teenager attending high school. And he's just starting to develop the powers he'll use to save the world as Superman. His best friends in school are Pete Ross (Sam Jones III) and news hound Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack). And he is not so secretly in love with girl next door (okay, a mile away. It is the country) Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk). Unfortunately, she's already dating quarterback Whitney Fordman (Eric Johnson).
In addition to being a farming town, Smallville has a LuthorCorp fertilizer plant. Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) has just been sent there by his father Lionel (recurring actor John Glover). And when Lex hits Clark but both survive, the two form a friendship, much to the dismay of Clark's parents, Martha and Jonathan (Annette O'Toole and John Schneider).
But weird things keep happening in Smallville. Seems that the meteor shower in which Clark arrived 13 years ago left behind all kinds of rocks. And coming in contact with them gives people strange powers. With Chloe's help, Clark has to keep trying to save the day while forging a friendship with Lana. All this leads up to a season ending cliffhanger sure to have you coming back for more.
I'm just now watching this series. The first few episodes were actually rather forgettable. I was already getting tired of the formula of the show. But then around episode 8 or 9, the show began to find itself. True, it often still focused on the freak of the week, but they started telling the story in different ways and involving more of the cast. I especially got hooked on Whitney's storyline in the second half of the season.
And you can't forget the special effects. Even when I was bored with the story, I was still impressed with just how great they looked, especially for a weekly television series. The acting was a little weak near the beginning, but it got better as it progressed as well.
What really got me the most was watching the friendships of the characters. It breaks my heart that Lex and Clark grow up (okay, so Lex is already an adult) to be enemies.
And the show constantly throws in ironic lines about who Clark will become. These jokes always make me laugh.
I've added another TV show to my list of shows to watch. Just what I needed. Give the show a chance to get over its slow start and you just might be hooked as well.

Summary: Great Start to a Great Series!!
Comment: I love this show. Tom Welling makes a great Clark. John Schneider and Annette O'Toole are wonderful as Clark's parents. But what really surprised me was the performance of Michael Rosenbuam as Lex Luthor. Who would have thought you could like Lex so much? This is a Great series...definitely one to check out on DVD.
