Set in the fictional town of Smallville, the show charts the growing up of our hero Clark Kent (Tom Welling) during his teenage years as he tries to deal with his alien powers by attempting to lead as normal teenage life as possible; complete with all its typical problems.
Lana Lang (Kirsten Kreuk) plays Clarks lonely, independent, ideal women and friend, Chloe Sullivan (Alison Mack) plays another of Clarks closest friends, a lady who as a school journalist is fascinated by all the weird events that have occurred in Smallville.Add into the fold, Lex Luther (Michael Rossenbaum) as a troubled, unlikely close friend to Clark and Lionel Luthor (John Glover) as the mean calculating father of Lex Luthor. Martha Kent (Annette O'Toole) and Jonathan Kent (John Schneider) play Clarks doting and dependable parents.
Tom Welling does an outstanding job playing Clark Kent. He brings a human-like quality to the show and the way he looks is exactly how you would imagine a young Clark Kent to look like. He is a very likable character and Tom also helps to put some of himself in the character and was basically born for the role. Michael Rossenbaum is the real star of the show though, because he plays a character that has so many depths who can be nice and pleasant most of time but has a hidden menace at the same time and the fact that he pulls it off is a testament to the quality of the actor.
John Glover, Annete O'Toole and John Schneider also do great performances in their respective roles. You can actually imagine these characters as the parents of Lex and Clark, as they bring so much to their roles. Kirsten Kreuk is basically the eye candy of the show and I would not say she is the best actress in the show. The big times she has been asked to perform big scenes she has done a good job overall.
The acting on the show is genuinely superb and of a great standard. The characters on the show are written extremely well, and they have so many different dimensions. The scripts are good and generally they try and reveal things about the characters that the viewer did not realise and this is a big plus point.
The viewer will really warm to the show because the characters are so easy to identify with. When Clark has the same problems that every teenager faces, it helps to make the show seem realistic and relevant to the teenagers today.The paramount way that this show works so well, is because the viewer KNOWS Clarks future and this is showing his past and therefore the viewer never knows what to expect. We are always aware of big things that happen to Clark in the future and the cause and effects of these problems are being explored in the show.
The writers of the show are always thinking up new story lines that the characters face that tie in with the original Superman comics and this is great. I love the fact that characters who have been in other Superman shows (from Clarks future) are constantly written into the show, and this means that the viewer knows what that character is about; as they have seen them and recognise them from before.
I have bought the DVD box-sets of this show and I would recommend it to anyone. Every episode is memorable because they all have big moments in the show that the viewer will remember and think about for ages. The amount of themes this show covers is huge and the relationships between the characters is very believable.
This is one of Warner Bros best TV shows in a long time and an absolutely brilliant television show. This show works on so many different levels and it will appeal to not just Superman fans but to fans of entertaining and exciting plot-driven TV shows. This show easily beats the other Superman competition and is an ideal addition to any Superman fans collection. This is essential viewing for Superman fans.

This is the third season of the TV series Smallville.
With 22 episodes each briefly outlined in a program guide designed with the Crows colours and our favourite characters on each of the DVD's and of course episodes like Whisper where we see Clark in his sexy new glasses and RedK! clark in Exile what's not to love in season 3?

The 3rd season of this great TV show that follows the adventures of a teen Clark Kent as he learns more about his powers and his destiny... Clark has bolted for Metropolis, with red kryptonite messing up his morals... he then finds out that Ma & Pa Kent are struggling with money hassles on the farm... he and Lex get tighter, much to the chagrin of others... good TV...

i loved the smallville series and was so dissapointed when it came to an end. When it first came out i thought it looked dumb because it seemed like a copy of roswell or something. And even though roswell is a better show than this in my opinion, it is stil its own show with a great and exciting storyline.

this is a must have box set for any smallville fan! as the series moves along, it becomes harder and harder to get your hands on any smallville, which is why this is a must have, so that you can watch it whenever and where ever you want. some wicked scenes in here that are so action packed, the third season has it all!

this show is great, although the first season will always be the best for me, this season is good also. the show follows the early days of clark kent/superman when he lives life as a teenager. over time he develops his powers. its a really entertaining show, its also packed with extra features which is cool! so if you love the show then buy this!
