- Smallville-A Great Stupid Superman Story
This ridiculous TV show series is only interesting if you are 13 and 11. My two oldest kids are-and they have had hours of fun with this series this summer. Second only to "Gilmore Girls", this TV series in a box is a must-have for summer sleepovers for the late tweenager and early teenager. Avoid watching too much if you are over this age group. As a mother-watch out...there are a few adult situations. Mild compared to most on TV, somewhere between PG and PG13.

- Pre man of steel
I have just recently been invited to the superman mythology and I think this TV show Smallville is one of its best stories. The cast are superb in this show. From the first episode I was hooked I wanted to watch more so I bought all four seasons on dvd in one day and I have watched 2 seasons of it so far in just 3 days its so addictive. I now really understand the man behind superman before he was even superman. Each year the show had been maturing and that is what I liked about it. I just can not stop watching the show. But now I have a show to watch now that charmed is over. But this show is much more then buffy and charmed I suprised even myself for liking this show. Buy these first four season it is worth your supernatural adventures.

- Where Oh Where Is The Man Of Steel?
It's been four years and poor teenager Clark Kent still can't accept the person he is suppose to become. It's pretty obvious when you are found near a spaceship in a cornfield after a meteor shower that you aren't from anywhere known to man. Taken in by a farmer and his wife, Ka-El is given the identity of Clark Kent, adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent. His life is easy going for awhile until a young Lex Luthor hits teenage Clark with his car taking both of them off a bridge. Performing a daring rescue is Clark's undoing. Lex becomes both indebted and curious to the happenings of how Clark was able to save his life. From then on the series unwines. Strange things occur which revolve around remaining meteor rocks left in Smallville, criminal activity arises, teenagers' and adults' lives like always, suck; espcially in their love lives, and very slowly does Clark's true destiny arise. The show is so slow and there is so much talking about how life is, the viewer soon realizes that this show is not really about Superman. The series is about a boy with a growing number of special powers and a future he is not willing to accept, no matter how much good he will do in the end. It takes two years to finally put Clark and Lana together, but they are later torn apart by Clark's disobedience to his father Jar-El. Clark eventually repairs the damage between his loved ones, but no matter how hard he tries, Lex and himself will never be the same. It takes over three years for Lex and Clark to finally quit being friends and to fall into conflicts with how they think the world should work. The show at least does follow some Superman storylines. Clark gains x-ray vision, heat vision, super speed, super hearing, super strength, flying abilities, a young Louis Lane appears, Perry White makes a stop in Smallville, so does the Flash, Krypto causes some havic, and Clark is only vulnrable to Kryptonite rocks. The episodes dealing with these Superman traits are the interesting ones because they are fun to see how they arise and how Clark learns to deal with them. But then there's the continuous and extremely repetitive teenage and adult life drama. How much school sucks because one isn't normal, disfunctional families, and disfunctional personal relationships. The show has two more seasons in the works, so I don't see the story telling changing much. The season premieres and finales tend to be the ones dealing with Superman traits, but even some of these episodes are extremely slow and only deals with a small amount of turning Clark into Superman. So all I have left to say is, where oh where is The Man Of Steel?

- Wonderful series, good extras
The series is great, you don't need a review to tell you that if you're browsing this item. The extras on the dvds are pretty good, and the clarity is great. If you're looking for a gift for someone who likes Superman, this series tends to appeal to the teen-30-something range. The newer seasons would appeal to the comic fans since we see more of Superman's fellow superheros show up (Yay Aquaman!).

- AWESOME. AMAZING.
i will admit right off the bat that i underrated this show. if i could, i would give it 100 stars and five thumbs up, even though i have not yet finished watching the fourth season. but otherwise, this show is a great show!!! i enjoy it very much, and get addicted easily. basically, it is a story of the young clark kent before he became superman, although he does save many lives. many weird, strange things happen in this show, which will keep you on your toes. i get so involved, i feel like the kryptonite effects me as well as clark!!! i definitly love this show, and would recommend it to anyone. i cant wait until the next season comes out!!! dont think twice about purchasing this. it will be worth your while. if you cant afford to purchase this at such a high price, i found mine on ebay for half the price brand new!!!
