When I heard they were coming out with a new Superman television show back in 2001, I was thrilled. I had watched Lois & Clark religiously, so to learn that Supes was back, but this time exploring his pre-Superman years as a mild-mannered teen in Smallville, well, needless to say I was pumped, and Season One of Smallville didn't disappoint.

We got our first glimpses of Clark's developing superpowers, how he and Lex met and the friendship that would later help forge the greatest archrivalry of all time, Clark's Kryptonian heritage and more. Likewise, to meet Lana Lang for the first time and not just as a mere movie character but someone who--if you know even a chunk of the Superman backstory--made a huge impact on Clark as he grew up was especially interesting.

I remember watching the season finale and flipping out over the cliffhanger ending.

I've been watching the series ever since, every week, barely missing an episode.

Check this series out if you haven't already. This stuff is good. Real good.

More powers emerge as Clark gets ever closer to his destiny as the Man of Steel.

This season made you know the show was here to stay and showed a slight, more mature change in the writing style (if memory serves), despite the show still being kind of like The Twilight Zone meets Superman.

Regardless, throwing into the mix someone outside the Kent family permanently knowing Clark's secret--well, things got a little more complicated for our favorite farmboy as he's now got the concern of "what if so-and-so spills the beans?"

What really made this season, of course, was the guest appearance by Christopher Reeve, who everyone in my generation knows as THE Superman, bar none. His role as Dr. Swann, who shows Clark his Kryptonian heritage, really brought a passing-of-the-torch moment to the show, cementing in Superman fans' heads that Tom Welling was indeed our new boy and--if anyone else out there is like me--makes you itch for Welling to one day put on the tights in a feature film (or seven).

I love the mythology episodes in this series and Season Two had enough to remind you that, yes, you were watching Superman and not just a show about a young man with developing superpowers.

Go watch this, then check out Season Three right after it. You know what? Go watch 'em all then follow Season Nine week-to-week like the rest of us. You won't be sorry.

I was very happy with my purchase of season four of Smallville. I bought it for the first appearance of Bart Allen, but ended up enjoying the whole set. Totally worth the money.

Now, if only they would make The Justice League into a series, Life would be good.
