TV shows on DVD are the devil.
You can get so addicted to watching a show without commercials at any time you wish.
The curse is that you may end up spending a few hours each night trying to watch a few more episodes. Or just take a 5 episode marathon on a Sunday evening trying to complete the season.
Word to the wise…if you can get the next Season of a show, do so right before you watch the season finale…because you know those bastards will have a cliffhanger and then you’ll be just ranting on your blog about how you should have grabbed the second season from Eric.
(very minor spoilers here…I wouldn’t even consider them spoilers but you know how I hate to accidentally read a spoiler. Like when I accidentally read that someone died on Lost) Anyhow…Smallville. I enjoyed the first season. I didn’t know what to expect since my only intro to Superman was the Lois and Clark TV series and recently, the Superman movies. I thoroughly enjoyed the first season as it introduces Clark Kent in a manner which you’ve never seen him – confused, and not in control of his powers. Heck, he doesn’t even know some of his powers that he will end up getting. I also like the constant funny references to the Superman legacy such as Clark saying he never was one to dress in a uniform and save the world. If you only knew…
I really like how Lex Luthor (hey, did anyone know that Lex is short form for Alexander? I just found that out.) is friends with Clark Kent and you can see that it will be very interesting when they end the series to show how they become enemies. Or maybe that happens in Season Two?
I highly recommend the series even to non-Superman lovers. It’s a great show, great cast, good plots (although I was getting tired of the X-Files type oddities showing up every episode) and I cannot wait to grab Season Two off of Eric. That will keep me busy during the holidays.
