This show would be greatly improved if the stories weren't so simple-minded. The action, special effects, acting, and general idea are all very good. However, there are too many corny, insignificant characters that take up a great deal of the time. Also, the villains-of-the-week are usually ridiculous.

Furthermore, considering that some monster arises and kills someone every week, wouldn't the nation be focused on Smallville after a while? I mean something needs to be done about a place that some kid begins eating people or something similar every single week.

But that's not even the low point of the show. It's usually when Clark's mom or dad tries to reason or make some decision. Clark's dad gives free cars back. Clark's mom couldn't figure out that this girl was changing shapes despite all the overwhelming evidence, although she tried very hard. Also, although the entire town had been talking about a bank robbery all day, Clark's mom didn't make any connection between the huge stacks of dollar bills that she found in this girl's house.

Worse than that, neither of them understand that Clark's could make millions upon millions in pro sports. All problems would be solved and he would be set for life. However, Clark's dad doesn't support him playing for the high school team because "someone may get hurt". In a town where cannabalistic mutants and fire-breathing coaches are found every week, football injuries are quite a big concern.

Thanks, I just wanted to share that. Of course, I'm sure that there's some of you that love this show and that's perfectly okay.

I submitted a couple reviews to Amazon.com that never got posted. I was told I would be informed if my reviews wouldn't be used and why, but nobody ever got back to me, inspite of my inquiries.

One of the reviews was for the Specials DVD. It was not a good review, as I don't think anybody should be encouraged to spend money on that. That's probably why it didn't get posted, cuz it wouldn't help them sell their product. Well, I think honest reviews are good, even if I disagree with them, so I hope yours gets up, tho I do think it's a tad negative, I think it has every right to be up.

My Smallville observations are on IMDB now.

IMDB seems to post a wide range of reviews. I've seen 2-3 sentence length reviews get posted.

We should all go and give a 10 to all the Batman Animated movies, and then write a review of why we love them so much.
