In a surprise move, the creators and executive producers of "Smallville" announced that they were calling it quits. In a letter released to the press, Al Gough and Miles Millar announced that this season would be their last, saying that, "After much heartache and debate we have decided it is time for us to move on." If you were hoping for some juicy dirt from the letter, you’re out of luck. Gough and Miles thank their staff and the fans for all their support, but aside from a slightly passive-aggressive note about "never compromising their vision," they don’t give a window into why they’re suddenly departing what they themselves point out is the #1 scripted show on the CW.
As any fan of "The Gilmore Girls" will tell you, losing the masterminds at the center of a show can deal it a death blow. The final season of Rory and Lorelei […]

No, that’s not the episode title, that’s a mesa culpa from your blogger so you know it’s my fault and not Steve’s that this is just getting posted now. Major memory lapse caused by too much reality TV during the writers strike. Anyway…
Show: SmallvilleEpisode: “Varitas”First Aired: 3/27/08
In the beginning of its run, a huge joy of “Smallville” was seeing the young Clark Kent develop his superpowers. Instead of getting them all at one time as seen in previous incarnations of the Man of Steel, this series had his powers emerge one at a time. One episode dealt with invulnerability, another with super hearing.  Some had scary repercussions, some comical (the episode with heat vision triggered by a hot teacher comes to mind).  However, after a couple of seasons, every power had developed. Except one. 
Brainiac is back and he wants Kara for something mysterious.  Although she’s regained her power […]

Show: SmallvilleEpisode: “Traveler”First Aired: 3/20/08
Years before baby Kal-El crash landed on the Kent farm, a secret society was formed by four wealthy families of “Smallville” lore: Lionel and Lillian Luthor, Green Arrow’s parents, the Teagues (represented a few seasons back by Jane Seymour and one of the “Supernatural” brothers), and Dr. Swan (played by Christopher Reeve and named for legendary Superman artist Curt Swan).
The group’s purpose was to protect the Traveler, AKA the Last Son of Krypton, AKA Kal-El, AKA Clark (soon to be AKA Superman). However, aside from Lionel, everyone died. Did they all expire coincidentally from natural causes like Lionel’s wife, or did Luthor murder them in order to have the Traveler all to himself? That’s the question Dr. Swan’s daughter aims to have answered in this all new episode.
After receiving threatening letters, Lionel has Clark abducted and
encaged in a Kryptonite cell to protect him. […]

CW today announced early pickups for "America’s Next Top Model" (cycles 11 and 12) plus "Everybody Loves Chris," "Gossip Girl," "One Tree Hill," "Smallville" and "Supernatural." Perhaps no coincidence that we found out this morning "Nick at Night" had picked up cable rerun rights to "Chris." "ANTM," "Gossip Girl" and "One Tree Hill" are tops with women 18-34, a much-sought demographic.
