Product Description

From Amazon.com

The venerable Superman mythos gets a 21st-century updating in this imaginative and engaging television series from the WB Network, and series fans can celebrate the ratings success of Smallville with a six-disc set that compiles its entire first season. The deluxe package offers a chance to revisit the origins of the characters and their numerous plotlines, as well as view deleted scenes and other bonus features.

The premise of Smallville--Superman as a teenager--takes up just a few pages in Superman's very first comic book appearance (in Action Comics back in 1938), but series producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar flesh out that period by portraying young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) not as the noble Superman-in-waiting, but as an average teen with some not-so-ordinary supernatural powers, including incredible strength and heat vision (Clark hasn't lifted up, up, and away as of yet). Clark's desire to fit in with his peers and make sense of his extraordinary abilities ground him in very realistic and identifiable terms for the series' primarily under-25 audience, as does his appealing and tentative romance with Kristen Kreuk as Clark's dreamgirl Lana Lang. But Smallville also strikes gold when it takes a turn towards more comic book territory, as evidenced by the parade of shape-shifting killers and other outlandish antagonists (many generated, in one of the series' most ingenious notions, by the same devastating meteor shower that brought the infant Clark to Earth) that Clark must harness his powers to face and defeat. Gough and Millar, along with their capable cast (which includes Michael Rosenbaum as a young and already bald-pated Lex Luthor, and Annette O'Toole and John Schneider as the Kents) manage to pull off the precarious high-wire act of combining science fiction with coming-of-age drama to create this highly watchable program.

Smallville: The Complete First Season offers a very complete and attractive DVD package that is rounded out by some highly desirable extras for longtime series fans. The six-disc set offers all 21 episodes of the first season, including the pilot, in widescreen anamorphic format; Gough and Millar are featured on the set's sole commentary track, which appears on the pilot episode. Viewers can also access a number of deleted scenes from various episodes as well as view original pre-production storyboards and WB promotional spots. An interactive "tour" of Smallville rounds out the extras, but DVD-ROM owners can use the discs to access more features via the Smallville web site. --Paul Gaita

A solid teen drama Feb 22 2012
By Chris R
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed the first season of Smallville, it has it flaws, but it is still decent. An important thing to note is that Smallville is not about Superman, it is about Clark Kent dealing with his powers and trying to fit in. The show quickly builds an ensemble cast of Jonathan Kent, Martha Kent, Lionel Luthor and Lex Luthor that all either play a role to help or deter Clark in his journey. Smallville season 1 does suffer from "monster of the week" problems, there isn't much of an arc during the season, and this can be a problem when watching multiple episodes.

Another thing to remember is, Smallville is very long, 10 seasons to be exact. And in my opinion it is very mediocre. If you have nothing else to watch I would suggest Smallville. But if you are new to drama I would say skip Smallville and watch better shows like Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, RDM's Battlestar Galactica, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones or Firefly

I'm glad I still have the youngster inside of me! Jun 23 2004
Format:DVD
I've read the first 50 reviews of "Smallville" with great interest and amusement. Happily, I was able to enjoy
"Smallville" from the very first episode (which "hooked
me," as one writer noted). Having recently retired from teaching
philosophy and logic courses at a nearby college (I'm 74 years
young}, I think that qualifies me as having a mature intellect
(certainly beyond the 12-30 age range}. I have always enjoyed fantasy and have a large collection of science fiction and fantasy pulp magazines (comics too!) although my main reading over the last 40 years has been science, evolution, and the Philosophy of Religion and the Philosophy of Science.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I have enjoyed the first three seasons of "Smallville," which touched the youngster in me. I agree with the writer who said that the series got noticeably better after the first season. I'm going to buy all of the seasons (if the third season is released on DVD}.

"Somebody Saaave Meee..." For 14 year old girls only. Oct 14 2003
Format:DVD
I was an avid comic collector (and I still collect some now) and Superman has always been the most monkeyed-with character. But "Smallville" has gone too far.

Maudlin and silly, this continuity-busting show is simply "Dawson's Creek" with teenage Superman thrown in + 1 black helper character (all the networks got in trouble for color-less programming so I thought that I would mention him). You can almost hear the female teeny-boppers go "OOOOH!" when they see Supes in his flannel shirt; too bad that he is such a TERRIBLE actor.

To keep the young, male demographic interested, the show parades some 25 year old looking "teenage" girls around the set and has them pout their lips and whine out some insipid dialog every once in a while. Then their performance stops when Mr. Boring, the teenage Superman, starts giving the beat-down to the villian-of-the-week.

Just awful.
