SMALLVILLE(2001) SEASON 4
The case for this season is in rough shape as all the pages
holding the DVDs have come loose!!
This show really should have been called "Kryptonite, And Its
Affects On All The Citizens Of Smallville"!!!
This is not a bad series, it's just a little too dark for my
liking!! And the relying on Kryptonite for the woes of the town
start getting annoying after awhile!!
Starring here are Tom Welling(as Clark Kent), Kristin Kreuk (as Lana
Lang), John Schneider(as Jonathan Kent), Annette O'Toole(as Martha Kent),
Michael Rosenbaum(as Lex Luthor), Allison Mack(as Chloe Sullivan),
John Glover (as Lionell Luthor) & Erica Durance as (Lois Lane)!
New to the series in this season are Lois Lane and Jason Teague,
and we no longer have Pete Ross
This tears apaart the lore of Superboy!

From another reviewer at IMDb.com:
I love most of the Superhero shows that are out there (of course
there are some that are awful) but Smallville is absolutely one
of my favorites of all-time! It tells the story of Clark Kent
before he became Superman. Every episode is as exciting as the
one before it and I can't say enough about Tom Welling, he was
fantastic as Clark Kent! It was on before the Superhero genre
exploded but it still absolutely holds up today! If you are
a fan of superhero shows then I can not recommend this show
enough! - Supermanfan-13
