    'Smallville' saves the WB

    http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald...g/13527874.htm

    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.

    I dont think having Smallville on Thursdays will help the network overall though.. The season's average so far compared to UPN is lower, which is pretty bad... Or at least according to zap2it.

      I think Smallville is definitely keeping the WB afloat. Well, that and Supernatural too.

          While there had been some weak episodes this season (Aquaman I am looking at you) this season has been better in general.
          First the kids have finally graduated HS. 90210ing the actors was not a good idea. Too many things didn't make sense if the 3 were in HS but graduated, (even in college) it is a lot easier to explain a lot of the plotholes of the show away.
          Second Clark and Lana are together. I don't like the character of Lana much (WAY too much Mary Sue) but Clark and Lana are good together. Also pining for someone gets old.
          Third Lex is finaley becoming evil. Or at least starting too. Not sure why it took so long but at least the process is under way.

            Lana is basically why I watch this show.....I am glad the season
            that Lana and Clark get together is a ratings grabber....
            Congrats!!!

              I don't watch much else on the WB, but I do make it a point to get my weekly dose of Smallville, but since it switched from Wednesday to Thursdays this year I have to set my VCR to record because my mixed league team shoots pool on Thursdays. It might be a tad inconvenient, but if anything, I am faithful to the show.

              A few years back I liked to watch a show called: Maybe It's Me. Alas the show has gone along the wayside with others like: Grounded for Life; although I can see the same old reruns on the ABC Family channel, just like Smallville.

                      Yea, I hate it that Clark flies in his dreams and as Kal, but Clark is still grounded. Just how high did he "jump" when he went after that missile? And did he just allow himself to fall a bunch of miles back to earth, and if he did I'd like to see the impact crater he must have made! He's never bothered to point it out to his folks that he doesn't need oxygen to survive.
