Trivia:

'Milo Ventimiglia (I)' originally auditioned for the role of Clark Kent. Although the role went to Tom Welling, the producers at The WB liked him so much they gave him the role of Jess on "Gilmore Girls" (2000). Ventimiglia now plays a different comic book-style superhero on "Heroes" (2006/II).

Goofs:

Errors in geography: In season 6's premiere, by the end it wrongfully states that the Iguazu Falls are in the Patagonia region in Argentina, while Patagonia is actually a southern region of the country.

When I first heard of the idea behind Smallville, I rolled my eyes and thought that is the dumbest idea ever. I mean, who wants to see Superman as a teen? Well after seeing it, I can say I sure as hell do. It has been a long time since I have been glued to the TV screen, waiting anxiously to see what will happen next. The reason this show is so good is because you already know the characters. Unless you were born yesterday, you know the story of Superman, you know who Lex Luther is. Superman is a permanent pop culture icon, like Batman. When I watched this show, I already knew these characters, it was so simple to get into this show. The WB must have dished out the big bucks for this show because for TV, the special FX were amazing. Everything about this show is pure gold, I know I will tune in every week, and watch one of the best shows on TV.
