@@CS_GOD64 Straight up substitution? Only Gene could pull it off without tarnishing his reputation as Lex. Michael would be a better option than the one we got, but he wouldn't reach Smallville level Lex
Tom welling has been and still is the best clark Kent to ever come. Same with Michael. His lex luther was amazing and is the best! Love the show for many years.
@@Edgar_Gutierritoz I think Gotham as well. I think Smallville, and Gotham really showcased their heroes perfectly and really highlighted the great differences between the two worlds of Gotham and Metropolis. Would have loved if these two would have aired at the same time.
One of the last series that was wholesome and always had a message and learning, growing and understanding. No agendas or narratives. I hear the intro song and it even takes me back to when i was younger.
There are other things that came to mind, but I'd honestly love if you could elaborate. The best part about art is seeing how different people have completely different takes
My 86 year old grandma passed away two years ago. She and I are the only ones in my family that have seen Smallville, she saw it three time. It’s one of the few things we were able to truly bond over.
Smallville was a masterpiece and the best show out there. All these other superhero shows have got to thank smallville as without them they wouldn’t of existed
This show shaped my early adult life in how we handle adversity, tragedy, and knowing that hope, kindness and perseverance can overcome our many struggles in this life. My favorite part was that Clark in the face of all those challenges wouldn't compromise his morals or his hero code and always did the right thing, even if it meant his own destruction.
dude i started watching this when i was 10 years old, im 29 soon. i remember being out with friends from school and realising its wednesday and smallville is on tv and being like sorry guys gotta go! just bolted home lol
Just imagine for the rest of us who had seen two different iterations of Clark Kent/Superman before this show came on.....to me this is still the new series....
It was always a running joke how Clark would always just walk into Lex's office ... no security, no announcement by an assistant, nothing. It was hilarious. You could make a drinking game out of it, it happened so often.
Not to mention Lana and Chloe had enough knockout concussions to give you brain damage lol. Felt like that was always the most convenient way to make sure they never witnessed Clark's powers in the early days before his secret was known.
Right?! Especially the episode, Subterranean, when Clark goes to talk to Lex about the farmer that could burrow underground and Lex says, “I thought I made it clear, you’re no longer a welcome guest at the mansion”, no security to be found. Even before that with the phantom girl that could sprout vines, Clark goes into the mansions greenhouse and Lex finds him, once again, security nowhere to be found
One of my close friends had been pushing me to watch this show since it premiered. In 2005 my wife and I nearly died in a car accident and I was laid up for months after. My friend showed up with the first 3 seasons on DVD, sat down and told me “guess what you have time to watch now?” So we sat there and binged like half of season one that entire day. I finished watching all the DVDs in the coming days and when I was recovered this friend would come over every week to watch the new episodes with me. He ended up tragically dying himself in 2009, never having seen the end of the series. I got my first tattoo for him after that, and the death of Superman felt like the most appropriate symbol to get. I haven’t watched the entire series since it aired, but now I think I’ll have to.
When I look at these two phenom actors, I don't see celebrities...I see Real people! Down to earth really cool guys. I'm proud to say I've seen every episode countless times!
This show means everything to me. Watching this show as a kid you took the lessons of the show to heart. Yea clark had powers but he experienced things we do everyday. Being adopted myself i really connected with that aspect of clark. And not feeling like you belong. So thank you smallville for continuing to entertain us. Definitely will have my kids watch this show, when i have them
Exactly. Being adopted as well myself and also having a disability like cerebral palsy. I've always feltt like I didn't belong and that I felt different and still do to a degree. Fortunately, I've also related to certain Superman/Supergirl actors who have both dealt with siilar hardships. That being Christopher Reeve with his paralysis and Laura Vandervoort who has dealt with meningitis over the years. Both appeared on Smallville.
Fellow Adoptee here as well! This show was everything to me. I never connected to a show on that kind of deeper level than I have with Smallville. It helped my mental health growing up with all those trails and tribulations life throws at you at a young age. And for that, I will forever be grateful for this show.
Im not adopted, no disrespect, but being a black kid going to a mostly non black school, having anxiety, being shy, living in a non black neighborhood, my mom and dad not being around but raised by my Eastern Shore grown grandparents bc sometimes being a minority feels like being an alien. Trust me, this show spoke to me too, it help me get through high school and my first year in the Air Force.
The writing, the scripts, the dialogue, the sets, the colours, the acting, the "blowing ups", everything really incredibly impressive. My favourite programme ever.
I thought it was terrible it completely went against the whole premise of Smallville, Clark accepting his duty as Superman. The idea he would give up helping people the best he could especially when Lex Luther was president is unbelievable.
Everything about this show was a class act. From Michael Rosenbaum as the best Lex ever, to Tom Welling as the best representation of Clark Kent I've seen in any series, to the timeless and relevant music soundtrack for each season, I was more than impressed. Yes, the entire cast and crew were phenomenal (even the one whose name I won't mention who lost her way). I could go on, but enough foot stomping from me... I loved the show.
This video was a 20 minute smile for me. I remember being excited about Smallville BEFORE it aired and enjoying the ride for 10 years. A huge thanks to the everyone involved in bringing Smallville to life.
Smallville meant almost everything to me during my childhood and teen years.There was no other show I connected with as much at the time and hasn't been since. Watching Clark feel like an outsider was always relatable to me as a person with a disability like Cerebral Palsy. And also being adopted as well. Which contributed to it. Clark's lessons as well as what he often "preached" spoke to me as well. And always gave me hope and encouragement. Smallville showed me that we all go through struggles and it's ok to be different. Also, showed me more importantly that people truly can be better than they are. Clark truly was a light in Smallville and even his character of Superman in real life is a light to so many. Forever grateful to Smallville.
This show stole my heart; I was eleven when it first aired and I was 21 when they ended it. Tom, Michael, and Kristin made that show; I loved everything about it. Loving Superman & Lois right now, a worthy spiritual successor to Smallville. Otherwise, I will get my hands on that bluray set and show my kids a show they weren't able watched back in its heyday, but now they can see what I loved so much about it. Just an amazing series; hands down one of my top five TV series of all time.
Smallville is what introduced me to Superman and made me love him. I was 8 years old when it began and 18 years old when it ended. Tom, Kristin and Michael did indeed make the series. Had so much heart and soul to it. Superman & Lois is certainly a great spiritual successor with all the similar themes, plotlines and characters it has brought to it. You certainly should get the Bluray set to show your kids. It is such an iconic, timeless series.
I grew up watching this show and Christopher Reeve IS Superman, but Tom Welling is EVERYTHING leading up to becoming superman. He IS Clark Kent and I idolized him for that. I love that the cast is still close and I love the show SO SO much.
Smallville was and still is amazing. A coming of age story about Clark Kent and his journey to becoming the Man of Steel. As a teenager when the show first broadcasted in the US so much of the show resonated with me. From his inadequacy in social groups because he is going through changes,unrequited love,teenage defiance. It was ahead of its time and not many shows have come close in my opinion. Plus the soundtrack was awesome.
Hearing the part about watching it with a family member who is no longer here....got me. Me and my dad used to watch this show every week till he couldn’t anymore. He passed away about 16 years ago to cancer and never got to see the ending of the series. He loved this show and the time we spent watching it means so much to me now. Thank you smallville cast and crew for the entertainment you gave us
I'm a huge fan of Michael Rosenbaum since Smallville and I love his podcast, Inside of You. He talks about the industry to mental health and every day things with other celebrities. They guy is great. Tom Welling, what can I say about the actor who took the role of a Kryptonian trying to figure out who he was, with all the powers he was gaining, while being taught to be a decent human being. He made the series such a success and captured the essence of a powerful being who was destined for greatness. These guys are two of my favorite actors and I'm so glad that Smallville is returning in animated form starring them two
I am watching again now and are on season 3.I am still as exited as i was all those years ago.For me this is still the best series of superheroes of all time and today its still holds his ground.
This show literally saved DC. At the time DC was literally at its lowest ebb with Superman IV and Batman & Robin being its most recent movies based on its most famous superheroes. Smallville helped to salvage DC and bring it back to greatness. Yeah the later seasons dropped in quality especially after Rosenbaum left but i still enjoyed em. Some of the season finales especially in the first 5 seasons is honestly better than a lot of the stuff thats happened with Superman in the movies IMO. Also the way it did the Superman lore is better than any other adaptation.
@@ozamrani22 People try to act as if Smallville was some piece of emmy worthy television. There was a lot in that show that was seriously cringeworthy. It was hugely successful, as has the CW DC superhero shows that have happened since. We can praise the success of one without belittling the success of the other.
@@nikunjdixit1175 Smallville got bad seasons 5 or 6-9 but then had an amazing season 10. But those bad seasons were not borderline unwatchable like the flash and some of the other shows have gotten. And the effects weren’t great but I feel like they knew the limits of their vfx unlike the other shows.
@@pauld7777 Speak for yourself. Smallville at its worst was just as awful as The Flash or Arrow at its worst. There was some truly dumpster fire seasons. We just give it a pass due to nostalgia. 10 years from now, fans will do the same for Arrow and The Flash when comparing it to whatever new superhero show is on at the time.
@@ozamrani22 Arrowverse started off well with Arrow and Flash. Supergirl added in later. Maybe CW got carried away with the success that it thought it can do just about anything, and that's when the shows there started to go downhill.
Casting was great. The thing i loved most about the show (besides Kristen Kreuk) was that it did make me wonder "do lex and clark really have to be enemies?"
Yup. John Glover was an incredible asset to the show. Glad they kept him on as a series regular. Without him, it would've been a five season series tops.
You saw how evil Lionel was and understood why Lex was always destined to be a villain. If Clark told him his secret Lex would have exploited it in later seasons.
The first episode I watched because of Kristin Kreuk, but quickly got hooked. This was an awesome show, one of my all time favorites. For me this show is right up there with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
The show started when I was in 6th grade and my sister was a freshman. I remember all her guy friends rushing home to watch Smallville instead of hanging out after school just to see Lana 🤣
@@Wolverine1987 That's possible, I haven't seen that one yet. I own the first season and I want to watch it soon. But are the relationships and psychology as deep as in Smallville?
Michael R. is right Smallville is the OG. It made networks realize that fans will tune in. Same with Spiderman/Ironman and Marvel movies. I'm thankful that it it happened during my latter childhood.
Thee best series ever.... My wife has never watched it. Durning the COVID lock down, she blew through every season within a month. She was hooked. I actually bought her a tom welling authentic autograph for her as a surprise. It's in her office. Happy 20th SMV
Hate to say it but Smallville now looking at it after I finally watched the show for the first time 4 years ago it had better versions of characters then in other shows that we have today!
It's the strangest thing...when a show can make you feel so safe and give you so much hope in humanity and healing...that in the face or fear and adversity you remember the show and use it as somewhat of a reference point for your own healing
It still boggles my mind that this series is 20 years old. I was 8 years old and I remember watching the pilot when it first aired. Insane, but so cool.
If you want to know what the continuation is, they did it as a comic series branching out a lot more to the point where Chloe gives birth to her first kid
Smalleville was my favourite show of all time, I ma now 47 years old , literally i watched every single episode, smallville i feel brought superheroes back to television you should be soo proud of your show
I just started watching it a month ago, and it's by far one of the best tv shows ever made. Not only is it wholesome, every episode also has a positive message about showing courage in times of adversity, and growing as an individual, without any of the political agendas or narratives we see today. Not to mention the epic soundtrack.
I'm Gen Z but I grew up watching Smallville while it was still on air from the age 5-12, it was one of the highlights of my childhood, I would just rush home from school and first thing I would do was put on the tv and watch the show.
Every time I rewatch the series I have most of the lines memorized 😂 favorite all time show while growing up every time I passed a test at school my mom will surprise me with a series of smallville Great memories 😭🔥
My mom has all the dvds for Smallville and we’ve watched them through several times, excluding the ones she decided weren’t as interesting. Definitely a big part of my childhood.
Smallville was part of my childhood and my family, until today I watch the series, we will always have a lot of affection for the story that this cast has built over the years #Smallville20years 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I don’t think Tom gives himself enough credit. To be a newbie in the game he more then succeeded the role of Clark Kent. His eyes got me every time on that show. The look he would give Lana . It looked as if he was looking right through her. His eyes gave me goosebumps ! Best Superman ever !
This reunion brought a giant smile to my face! Clark and Lex were the reason I watched Smallville back in High School and there's never been a better portrayal of the characters in my eyes. It melts my heart that Mike and Tom are so close. Their friendship really is the Stuff of Legends 💙
Michael was the best Lex Luthor ever. Smallville had an amazing cast. One of the best TV series to ever exist.
Yup. Watched in my 20's. Probably my favorite tv series of all time.
Agree..and if we include the movies, the only guy that can stand next to the legend Gene Hackman..
Not was is the best Lex Luthor
Makes you wonder if the Lex in BvS would've been better if he was played by Michael
@@CS_GOD64 Straight up substitution? Only Gene could pull it off without tarnishing his reputation as Lex. Michael would be a better option than the one we got, but he wouldn't reach Smallville level Lex
This show is timeless. I don't care how many years pass, its value won't ever fade.
So very True! It's messages, themes and great moments will live on forever.
Tom welling has been and still is the best clark Kent to ever come. Same with Michael. His lex luther was amazing and is the best!
Love the show for many years.
I know trying to watch other tv shows and movies with lex's and clark's its like mmumm its not my clark and lex...lol
amen
You said it correctly..
Tom looks like Richard Hammond now 😂
Michael is closer to like his Flash than Lex.
Without Smallville, there'd be no arrow, flash, legends, batgirl, etc. This show was amazing!!!!!
Man you missed Riverdale
Facts
yeah those shows truly are the cost of greatness, the burden all of society will have to bare to balance out the awesomeness of Smallville
Wouldn't be a big loss if there was no batgirl, feminist garbage.
agree
Smallville will go down in history as one of the greatest DC TV shows of all time
The greatest*
@@Edgar_Gutierritoz I think Gotham as well. I think Smallville, and Gotham really showcased their heroes perfectly and really highlighted the great differences between the two worlds of Gotham and Metropolis. Would have loved if these two would have aired at the same time.

The only great dc tv show

The Smallville series is a masterpiece of all time
There are other things that came to mind, but I'd honestly love if you could elaborate. The best part about art is seeing how different people have completely different takes
My 86 year old grandma passed away two years ago. She and I are the only ones in my family that have seen Smallville, she saw it three time. It’s one of the few things we were able to truly bond over.
The fact Tom and Rosey are still friends after all these years is such a wholesome aspect from their relationship on the show.
Tom and Rosanna Barr are still friends ?
They should do a show "The Welling and The Rosenbaum", as they call each other 😊
they became friends after the show actually :)
@@StephanieTips they were always friends and they became better friends after the show.
The best compliment you can get is what Tom gave him which was that he has always been able to trust him! That is true character.
Smallville was a masterpiece and the best show out there. All these other superhero shows have got to thank smallville as without them they wouldn’t of existed
Your mom hates your existence so shush your front door you despicable insect
Best Superman movie ever and best Lex Luthor. The father-son relationship was so detailed.
Totally, every time i think about lex luthor i imagine him being this luthor.
Totally. The best „antagonists“ ever
Not movie tvshow
There can be only on Lex Luthor ----- Gene Hackman
Movie? Ermm it's a TV show
This show shaped my early adult life in how we handle adversity, tragedy, and knowing that hope, kindness and perseverance can overcome our many struggles in this life. My favorite part was that Clark in the face of all those challenges wouldn't compromise his morals or his hero code and always did the right thing, even if it meant his own destruction.
Hear hear!
Same, exact same
Yes!

I never call it Smallville, but "The cuckolding of Clark Kent/Superman" a bit longer, but sooooooooo much more fitting
@@Belnick6666 thats what nobody understands, he was always gettin his woman took
i was 16 when they started airing the show...
Just imagine for the rest of us who had seen two different iterations of Clark Kent/Superman before this show came on.....to me this is still the new series....
This show will always have a special place in my heart..
Both me and my father loved Smallville. To this day even in the beginning of alzheimer's he loves rewatching the scenes from the show.
Sending love
Blessings and love to you and your dad.
It was always a running joke how Clark would always just walk into Lex's office ... no security, no announcement by an assistant, nothing. It was hilarious. You could make a drinking game out of it, it happened so often.
Even more ridiculous is how many times Lex got shot. The man eats bullets more than Superman and is still alive. That in itself is some superpower.
Technically he could just blaze in there and no one would even see him!
Not to mention Lana and Chloe had enough knockout concussions to give you brain damage lol. Felt like that was always the most convenient way to make sure they never witnessed Clark's powers in the early days before his secret was known.
Right?! Especially the episode, Subterranean, when Clark goes to talk to Lex about the farmer that could burrow underground and Lex says, “I thought I made it clear, you’re no longer a welcome guest at the mansion”, no security to be found.
Even before that with the phantom girl that could sprout vines, Clark goes into the mansions greenhouse and Lex finds him, once again, security nowhere to be found
Perhaps the security be like : "Oh it's Clark, just let him in"

Nice speech my man you're great
The villains were often normal people who had very real problems, just handled poorly. It was super relatable and that kept us gripped.

Trust me, this show spoke to me too, it help me get through high school and my first year in the Air Force.
Smallville has a special place in my life. Hands down favorite show ever. I've, over time, watched this entire show TWICE.
I just finished my second watch of the entire show. It was like it was brand new again. Might watch it again in 10 more years. Cheers.
I have probably seen this show 3 times over and feel like i can go again.its beenmany years since i have so maybe...
No one seems to talk about how great John Schneider was at being Clark’s dad. That’s the dad I needed growing up, not the one I was stuck with.
He's a conservative. He won't be on the show.
So be that to your children. If you won’t forgive him you will likely end up being the same to your kids.

@@pauld7777 Speak for yourself. Smallville at its worst was just as awful as The Flash or Arrow at its worst. There was some truly dumpster fire seasons. We just give it a pass due to nostalgia. 10 years from now, fans will do the same for Arrow and The Flash when comparing it to whatever new superhero show is on at the time.
@@ozamrani22 Arrowverse started off well with Arrow and Flash. Supergirl added in later. Maybe CW got carried away with the success that it thought it can do just about anything, and that's when the shows there started to go downhill.
Smallville's super speed and heat vision effect will always be one of my favorites
What's crazy is how well Smallville holds up to the more recent seasons of Flash and Supergirl
Casting was great. The thing i loved most about the show (besides Kristen Kreuk) was that it did make me wonder "do lex and clark really have to be enemies?"
Yup. John Glover was an incredible asset to the show. Glad they kept him on as a series regular. Without him, it would've been a five season series tops.
did he ever nail that role
You saw how evil Lionel was and understood why Lex was always destined to be a villain. If Clark told him his secret Lex would have exploited it in later seasons.
The first episode I watched because of Kristin Kreuk, but quickly got hooked. This was an awesome show, one of my all time favorites. For me this show is right up there with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
Same! This is what I always say yassss
The show started when I was in 6th grade and my sister was a freshman. I remember all her guy friends rushing home to watch Smallville instead of hanging out after school just to see Lana 🤣
The best TV show of all time, with the best Lex Luthor ever.
Rosenbaum was a better Flash
I agree 💯
Agreed.
It's a great show no doubt but it's not even the best CW show, that title goes to Supernatural
@@Wolverine1987 That's possible, I haven't seen that one yet. I own the first season and I want to watch it soon. But are the relationships and psychology as deep as in Smallville?
Kristen’s message was so beautiful!
If there were to be Crisis sequels, I hope Michael Rosenbaum’s President Luthor will lead the other Lex Luthors.
This show made me love and hate Lex haha
Or even help fight against them
@@Eternaldarkness3166 Jon Cryer’s Lex did that in the tie-in comics.
Happy aniversarie my serie favority I LOVE smallville ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
20 years hard to believe it's been that long already.
No crush will ever surpass the crush I had on Tom welling every Thursday I’d be parked in front of my television watching this show 😩😍
Me too girl me too🙌🏾🙌🏾 lol
for real
Best Lex ever. By far. Not even close
10:00 I love that they gave answers and didn't just do the cop out "Nah I wouldn't change anything"
Michael R. is right Smallville is the OG. It made networks realize that fans will tune in. Same with Spiderman/Ironman and Marvel movies. I'm thankful that it it happened during my latter childhood.
I loved Tom Welling as Superman. He needs to come back
He hated doing it apparently
Tom didn't wanted to be Superman (wear suit and cape), just Clark Kent.
Clark Kent*
He wasn't superman, he was Clark Kent
Thee best series ever.... My wife has never watched it. Durning the COVID lock down, she blew through every season within a month. She was hooked. I actually bought her a tom welling authentic autograph for her as a surprise. It's in her office. Happy 20th SMV
Smallville had the greatest soundtrack hands down ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m 27 now and still watch Smallville clips and re-runs regularly, thanks for the fun memories all!
So great to see these guys again after all these years. Smallville is top-notch.
Being a teenager, growing up with this show, was awesome!
Hate to say it but Smallville now looking at it after I finally watched the show for the first time 4 years ago it had better versions of characters then in other shows that we have today!
yup. most of the shows today are just trying to capture the success of Smallville without understanding why.
Absolutely.
@@danzwku agree
Like whom lol
It's the strangest thing...when a show can make you feel so safe and give you so much hope in humanity and healing...that in the face or fear and adversity you remember the show and use it as somewhat of a reference point for your own healing
It still boggles my mind that this series is 20 years old. I was 8 years old and I remember watching the pilot when it first aired. Insane, but so cool.
I still watch it from time to time
These two are working on an animated continuation of this series. Hope it works out
Source?
@@PhilletPhish Tom and Michael are the source they talked about it a few time !
@@PhilletPhish they said it themselves in various interviews this week promoting the blu ray 20th anniversary release of smallville
If you want to know what the continuation is, they did it as a comic series branching out a lot more to the point where Chloe gives birth to her first kid
@@ladyfantistcreations mhm but they are now working on an animated series based on that and beyond
Smalleville was my favourite show of all time, I ma now 47 years old , literally i watched every single episode, smallville i feel brought superheroes back to television you should be soo proud of your show
Happy 20th anniversary Smallville and my childhood. 😊
I'm currently rewatching Smallville I'm on Season 2 Episode 7 😁🖤
Watched the show for the 12th time last week probably going to watch it again now that I’ve seen this
You watched over 200 episodes in a week? Somehow I doubt that
Having them on Dvd or Blu-Ray is definitely worth it, Hulu doesn't do the show justice.
I love SmallVille So much grew up watching it. i think i am rewatching smallvill for the 8th time now. i never get tired of it. happy 20th anniversary
SOMEBODY SAAAAAAVE ME!!!
I wonder how much that song got in royalties
LET YOUR WARM HANDS BREAK RIGHT THROUGH ME!!
I love these guys.. Great to see decades later they are still tight
Smallville pushed a lot of programming to level up. It was the beginning of television being just as exciting as movies.
I just started watching it a month ago, and it's by far one of the best tv shows ever made. Not only is it wholesome, every episode also has a positive message about showing courage in times of adversity, and growing as an individual, without any of the political agendas or narratives we see today. Not to mention the epic soundtrack.
This show had some of the best casting ever.
I'm Gen Z but I grew up watching Smallville while it was still on air from the age 5-12, it was one of the highlights of my childhood, I would just rush home from school and first thing I would do was put on the tv and watch the show.
As much as I love Superman & Lois.
Nothing can beat Smallville.
Is that the one from the 90’s? If so, that was more comedic.
@@miamitten1123 No I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Lois and Clark.
I'm talking about Superman and Lois on the CW.
At this point I can admit that I'm getting old, still love this show and definitely gonna rewatch
The best part of the series was the intro, the intro still gives me the chills 😌❤️👌
"Somebody saaaaave me" 🎵 It was the best of times
Every time I rewatch the series I have most of the lines memorized 😂 favorite all time show while growing up every time I passed a test at school my mom will surprise me with a series of smallville
Great memories 😭🔥
Tom Welling was my first celebrity crush !! Clark and Lana will always be my favorite TV couple of all time. Love Smallville, always will!
"Always hold on to Smallville." RIP Jonathan Kent....the best Jonathan Kent on screen John Schneider!!! Him and everyone made that show so special!
You made me think the actor died 😬😬
@@evil1989pl lol, nope he's still alive and kicking but his character died though! Haha
My mom has all the dvds for Smallville and we’ve watched them through several times, excluding the ones she decided weren’t as interesting. Definitely a big part of my childhood.
This is the Superman and Lex of a whole GENERATION! Thanks for the great stories.
I am now 21 years old and I’m a huge comic fan, this is still ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER!!!!
Smallville was part of my childhood and my family, until today I watch the series, we will always have a lot of affection for the story that this cast has built over the years #Smallville20years 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Smallville was the reason I started reading comics and learning about heroes in the DC and marvel universes
I was obsessed with Smallville and Tom Welling, i was so sad when the show ended, its really nice to see everyone👌👏👍
This series just had the perfect cast
I don’t think Tom gives himself enough credit. To be a newbie in the game he more then succeeded the role of Clark Kent. His eyes got me every time on that show. The look he would give Lana . It looked as if he was looking right through her. His eyes gave me goosebumps ! Best Superman ever !
is lovely to see all these people after so many years
This reunion brought a giant smile to my face! Clark and Lex were the reason I watched Smallville back in High School and there's never been a better portrayal of the characters in my eyes. It melts my heart that Mike and Tom are so close. Their friendship really is the Stuff of Legends 💙
They both aged well man I miss theses' guys.
