For the WB's smash TV hit Smallville:

"Smallville leads the pack of five new TV shows you need to be watching."
*Entertainment Weekly, cover story

"This Superman redo, featuring a teenage Clark Kent, Lana [Lang] and Lex Luthor is a slam dunk."
*USA Today

"A hot new show redefines an American pop legend...The triumph of Smallville is the way it juggles all those elements- the sentimental and the scary, the rustic and the alien- somehow fitting Norman Rockwell and Hieronymous Bosch in the same frame."
*TV Guide, cover story

"Smallville became the fall season's sleeper hit and gave Superman something he never had before: wounded depth."
*Vanity Fair, feature article
