Sure Smallville is an improvement over Lois and Clark, but that is not saying much is it? Cute idea but lacking in boldness and Clark is not geeky looking enough to be playing a geek. Where are his glasses? And why would Lana's boyfriend take the necklace he gave her and wrap it around Clark when he knew how important it was to her? He wouldn't! Bad start but the cast is light years ahead of Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher from Lois and Clark. That show was a nightmare, let's hope Smallville gets better quick and provides company for quality WB programming like the incomparable Dawson's Creek.
