The show achieved an all-time record for the WB in adults 18-34 (4.5/12) and was particularly super among men, scoring all-time record ratings in men 18-34 (5.0/14), men 18-49 (3.9/10) and the network's third best adults 18-49 (3.8/9) rating ever.
Smallville also set all-time records for a series premiere on the WB in total viewers (8.4 MILLION), household rating (5.4/8) and adults 18-49 (3.8/9). The show finished an astounding #3 in its time period, topping Fox and ABC, in total viewers.
The show was #1 in its time period in persons 12-34 (4.4/12), men 12-34 (4.8/14), men 18-34 (5.0/14), teens (4.1/15), female teens (3.9/15) and male teens (4.3/15). The series premiere was also #2 in men 18-49 (3.9/10) and #3 in women 12-34 (4.0/11), adults 18-34 (4.5/12) and women 18-34 (4.1/10).
Smallville also did extremely well in many prominent markets in the country, including Los Angeles (#1 in its time period, 10.9/16), New York (#2, 8.1/12), San Diego (#1, 10.0/15), Orlando (#2, 11.9/16), St. Louis (#2, 11.5/17), San Francisco (#2, 8.0/13) and Kansas City (#2, 7.8/11).
Also, the great <a href="http://www.supermanhomepage.com">Superman Homepage</a> site caught up with writer Mark Waid (among others) and got his reaction to the pilot:
"I thought it was BRILLIANT.
"EVERYTHING worked for me. A meteor shower cover is the perfect answer to why NORAD doesn't come after the rocket. Lana's necklace. Young parents who can provide conflict. And, of course, "It's all my fault!", which was a JAW-DROPPINGLY BRILLIANT way to give this Clark his motivation.
"Oh, my GOD. If only DC could get it one-TENTH that right..."
