Smallville is not only a hit for the WB, the series has given it something it never had before: a solid presence on Thursdays, the most lucrative night for ad revenue.
When the creators of Smallville heard that the WB Network was planning to move their series at the start of this season, they regarded the new time slot much as Superman would a barrel of kryptonite.
''Any time you move a show, it's always dangerous,'' writer-producer Al Gough said over lunch in Burbank, Calif., recently. Gough and his longtime creative partner, Miles Millar, co-created the drama, a free-wheeling prequel to the Superman comic series that envisions Clark Kent as a small-town youth with a busy social life and some eye-popping abilities that couldn't be addressed in your typical gifted-student program.
