Reactions from the web
This show is truly legendary. You can watch it over and over again, and feel good at the end of the day. You can’t beat that 2000’s tv show vibe, and you certainly can’t beat Smallville’s, well everything and anything.

My only "complaints" about this show is that the chemistry between Clark (Tom Welling) and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) was so good that you did not want their relationship to end, and they should have never "killed off" Lex Luthor. Michael Rosenbaum was the best Lex Luthor I have ever seen on screen.

I loved what they did with the character of Superman in this show. It gave a different perspective. It made that show must watch tv for me.
