Smallville set a WB record as its highest-rated series debut, with 8.4 million viewers tuned in for the pilot. Its premiere set a WB record for adults aged 18–34 and finished first among viewers aged 12–34, with Warner Bros. president Jordan Levin crediting the series with invigorating the network's Tuesday-night lineup. Smallville appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly as one of five new shows to watch. After its first season, the series was sixth on the Parents Television Council's 10-best list of broadcast programs. Levin, acknowledging early concerns that Smallville had become a villain of the week series, said that season two would introduce "smaller mini-arcs over three to four…

neutral · AI labelView post →Y’all I’m scared. The cold open for this episode of Smallville implies that it’s gonna be about Native Americans and something tells me this show will do some super weird shit
neutral · AI labelView post →“Emily, why are you watching Smallville? Isn’t it a bad show?” Yes but sometimes it’s a really good show which makes watching it more frustrating than if it was simply a bad show
neutral · AI labelView post →Great finale for Superman and Lois! The CW streaming app makes it hard to see credits let alone get a pic, so I did it for you! If you have not watched the series, do so. It’s a worthy companion to Smallville, which was great for several seasons before budget cuts:(
positive · AI labelView post →Maybe it’s because season 4 was so dire but I’m honestly having a blast with season 5 of Smallville. Like the show is back to being silly fun again after how meandering and boring 4 was
positive · AI labelView post →Ngl, ever since Smallville killed off my favorite show original character it's killed a lot of my desire to continue binge watching >.<
negative · AI labelView post →Well, I’ll be damned. James Gunn’s #Superman is a pure slice of Silver Age/Jack Kirby comic book goodness on the big screen, with dashes of Richard Donner, Smallville, and the Fleischer animated series in for good measure. I enjoyed the heck out of it. @thedigitalbits.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →The band is performing the theme song to Smallville at the spring fling??? This show rules
positive · AI labelView post →Looks like there are three effects pink kryptonite has: 1) Makes Kryptonians Homosexual 2) Changes their sex totally youtu.be/UitYCjG8bnM?... 3) Allows them to hypnotize people (This was apparently in the show Smallville)
neutral · AI labelView post →Batman: The Animated Series may have given us new definitive origin stories for nearly every major Batman villain, and Harley Quinn as a whole, but Superman: The Animated Series gave us Dana Delany calling Clark Kent “Smallville” and that feels equal to everything BTAS did to me
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh no... @gailsimone.bsky.social has followed me back. Um... quick, brainstorm weird facts about myself that I can share... let's see, the town I live in renames itself once a year to Smallville (mainly due to similarities to the CW show), and when I was young, Clark Kent sold my mom a car.
neutral · AI labelView post →He had THE most popular DC TV show since like, Smallville or DCAU. And Marvel breaks box office with D-listers like Dr Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy. Pure unadulterated skill issue.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy birthday to my wonderful husband @pattymo.com. Glad you enjoyed your birthday gift, “me talking about the show Smallville for 20 minutes straight at dinner”
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally started Battlestar Galactica (a show people LOVE) and I'm through Season 1. There's a really good and interesting story being told here. But, man, that early 2000s cheese can be a LOT. Very cringey writing & acting. It's giving Smallville (which I loved at the time). Anyway, on to Season 2.
neutral · AI labelView post →The superhero TV series ‘Smallville’ starring Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, Sam Jones III, Allison Mack, John Glover, John Schneider, and Annette O’Toole premiered on The WB on this day 25 years ago (October 16 2001) ☄️ 🌾 📚 #OTD
neutral · AI labelView post →Hey, new followers! Please note that if you're interested in reading the Fire & Ice comic that I write (not to be confused with the racist, misogynistic one) there is a collected edition of the first series (Welcome to Smallville) available! The new series, When Hell Freezes Over, is in stores now.
neutral · AI labelView post →Smallville and the Arrowverse have been responsible for several joyous hours of superhero TV for me over the last 20 years. Today it all ends (in the US anyway) with the series finale of the brilliant #SupermanAndLois. Feeling sad, but grateful.
positive · AI labelView post →I refuse to allow this Smallville revisionism. I liked the show, but I remember its up and downs y'all. If it aired today, it would get shredded apart.
neutral · AI labelView post →Smallville the series taught me it was somewhere near the mountainous pine forests of Kansas.
neutral · AI labelView post →The best comfort show is Smallville
positive · AI labelView post →All right Mr Ackles, you've been one of my favourite actors since I was twelve. I've watched Dawson's Creek and Dark Angel, Smallville and Supernatural, Ten Inch Hero and My Bloody Valentine, Big Sky and The Boys - so, FINE. I'll watch this one, too, I guess. Well played.
neutral · AI labelView post →Not far off from the plot of the recent TV show Superman & Lois. They buy the Smallville Gazette, and it's a literal two-person operation.
neutral · AI labelView post →I will be out and about tomorrow, so early Happy 10th Anniversary to the second great love of my fannish life (after my beloved Smallville), Nirvana in Fire! One of the best tv series EVER, with a whole cast of All Time Characters™️. She really is That Girl. youtu.be/vYSZpTICPzs?...
neutral · AI labelView post →The animated ‘Smallville’ sequel series has been stalled due to the regime changes at Warner Bros and DC Studios: “I think the fact that they are in the process of rebooting Superman again, kind of unfortunately, I think, keeps our thing off the table for a bit.”
neutral · AI labelView post →I also didn't know the show gave up in season 3 and just fully became Smallville but Batman lol
negative · AI labelView post →me: wait have you seen Pleasantville? my non movie/tv show watching wife: yeah that’s the Superman one, right? …wait! No that’s Smallville me: *cackling*
neutral · AI labelView post →On October 16, 2001, Smallville premiered on The WB (which later became The CW), following the coming-of-age adventures of a teen Clark Kent. Today, The CW airs the series finale of Superman & Lois, the final DC show on the network, following an experienced Superman and his family.
neutral · AI labelView post →Smallville was not a perfect show but it sure had it's moments
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Smallville and forgot that Clark is supposed to be like 14-15 at the start of the show 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →Randomly started season 6 of Smallville, I gotta say the show was firing on all cylinders at this point
positive · AI labelView post →Im currently rewatching Smallville and there are so many random villains whose death are directly Clarks fault, and he never takes any responsibility, but still everyone acts like taking a life is a big thing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Smallville is an insane series (complimentary)
positive · AI labelView post →Introduce yourself with: One book 📚 — Strangers on a Train, Patricia Highsmith One movie 🎥 — All About Eve One album 💿 — Songs in the Key of Life, Stevie Wonder One* TV show 📺 — Smallville/Nirvana in Fire *You need both to understand me.
neutral · AI labelView post →The show heros just got worse over every season. It was like hoping for a big payoff of investing in the show then the show crapped the bed. Just like Smallville. Lee

neutral · AI labelView post →The Superman: The Animated Series episode "My Girl" debuted on this day (Nov. 23) in 1996. Clark Kent is shocked to find his Smallville crush Lana Lang dating Lex Luthor, and she soon finds herself in seriously danger, in this excellent episode from the first season. #SupermanTAS #Superman
neutral · AI labelView post →#TodayILearned: Pam Grier portrayed Amanda Waller in the Smallville television series. 🤩 I can’t even express how much I love this casting choice. #AmandaWaller #PamGrier #Smallville #dccomics #television
positive · AI labelView post →this cast is wild what do you mean Chelsie Baham Natalie Anderson and Tom Sandoval are on the same show and it's being hosted by Smallville Aquaman
neutral · AI labelView post →Smallville is a fascinating show because the fundamental question at the heart of it is whether Clark can actually be considered a Good Person when his selfishness and paranoia hurts everyone around him and directly creates his most vile enemy, but the show never really acknowledges it
neutral · AI labelView post →I would die for Ma and Pa Kent. Easily my 2nd favorite portrayal of them. Smallville TV series was perfect in my eyes, especially Jonathan Kent (even if the actor has since turned to the dark side)
positive · AI labelView post →The Superman: The Animated Series episode "Unity" debuted this day (May 15) in 1999. This third season finale outing finds Superman and Supergirl defending Smallville from an alien threat that plans to take over the world once it's done with the small town! #SupermanTAS #Superman
neutral · AI labelView post →Along with Cowboy Bebop, I’m slowly entering my Sonic era after the new movie. But also Smallville as well cause the show got me hooked again
positive · AI labelView post →Smallville turns 25 today. I’m celebrating with an exhibit of one of my favorite things they did on the show: Clark reads a book to understand more about the A-plot of the episode. So guileless!
positive · AI labelView post →Makes it even funnier when you remember that The Flash in this series was played by Michael Rosenbaum. Who, at the same time, was also playing Lex Luthor on Smallville
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's read, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1, cover by Rachel and @terrydodsonart.bsky.social A great start to this series! Fire and Ice move to Smallville and look to fit in, by @natachabustos.bsky.social & @joannestarer.bsky.social Definitely a ton of fun ❤️
neutral · AI labelView post →The Smallville #TTRPG is still my go-to for WB action drama game If your game could have been an arrowverse show, it's the TTRPG for you. Its biggest strength was being inspired by the source material, but not limited to it. I'd love to see a new interpretation
positive · AI labelView post →The Superman: The Animated Series episode "Unity" debuted this day (May 15) in 1999. The finale to season three, Superman and Supergirl must defend Smallville against a bizarre alien threat in this super-bonkers episode written by Paul Dini and Rich Fogel! #SupermanTAS #Superman
neutral · AI labelView post →When you’ve been together over a decade, you still find out things about each other. For example, Adam had never watched the WB classic show Smallville, which means they’d never seen me go absolutely feral about Michael Rosenbaum’s Lex Luthor
positive · AI labelView post →Suddenly remembering just how much my dad loved Superman. He told me when he first went to see the Donner/Reeve Superman movie in the cinema, he cried. He ended UK staying in his seat so. He could catch the next screening. He loved Smallville. Loved Lois & Clark. Loved the animated series.
positive · AI labelView post →I've been rewatching Smallville for months now. Starting the last episode of season 9 this show has been great! We've had the JSA, Zatana, Aquaman, the Flash, Martian Manhunter, Cyborg and the Green Arrow has been a regular for a few seasons. And so many villains! #Smallville
positive · AI labelView post →#comicskycoverartists Day 4: Rachel Dodson Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville I am way behind in DC comics, but if they are selling a series by cover art alone, it's working, because this looks like a lot of fun, I'll tell you what @comixx-addixx.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →DC has announced "Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes over" mini-series by Joanne Starrer and Stephen Bryne. It releases on April 9! It will be a sequel to the Welcome to the Smallville series and will continue the plotline of their powers being swapped during Absolute Power.
neutral · AI labelView post →Day 6: Favorite TV show theme song This one was tough. Almost went with Sailor Moon, Pokemon and Smallville.
neutral · AI labelView post →Smallville has my favorite "band inexplicably shows up in a TV show" scene where the dudes who did the Smallville theme song play the theme song at Clark Kent's high school dance and the lead characters openly talk about how much they like the band multiple times: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DnR...
positive · AI labelView post →Smallville fans! I have brought some of my original art and a handful of prints from Smallville Season 11 series Come by AA I-3 #NYCC
neutral · AI labelView post →"I used to watch Smallville, and I loved watching that show because I felt like it was a show where the creators were taking being young seriously... I love the idea of making a show about a smart, college-age person who’s been through some things..." - Ryan Coogler on #Ironheart.
neutral · AI labelView post →Me and Lin Workman with the Smallville piece I won, me drawing at a show, me using Copics on a giant piece because I was a maniac and me at a gaming con. All 15-20 years ago.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've recently started watching Smallville, and along with Buffy, I don't know that I've seen a more quintessential early 2000s show. Truly an immaculate time capsule.
positive · AI labelView post →There are rural farming communities in almost every state, so it’s not that much of a stretch for a version of Smallville to be in Maryland. That bugs me less than when the show Smallville tried to tell us that *Metropolis* was also in Kansas…
