The Future of Smallville
So what is to become of “Smallville”?
As a comic shop owner, I am in weekly contact with DC. Everytime I ask them for some good gossip I never get any. Advance word of All-Star Batman 10 would have been real nice. So even though the season is not even half over, we certainly can speculate.
Tom Weiling’s contract is up at the end of the year. TV land is strewn with the bodies of TV stars who left for the movies. Most are never heard of again. It took David Caruso, the star of NYPD Blue years to recover from “Jade.” Shelley Long, of “Cheers” fame, has never recovered from “Camp Beverly Hills” and “The Money Pit.” I have no idea if Weiling considers “The Fog” and “Father of The Bride 2” as his stepping stones to Tom Hanks fame or a reality check of where his acting career is headed. Here are two suggestions.
The first is extending his contract until he plays Supergranddad. In fact, a good name for the show would be Clark and Lois because that’s where they seem to be heading anyway.
The second is change the name of the show to Metropolis and have Supes appear in, say, eight episodes of the 24. We already have the makings of the JLA with appearances by Cyborg, The Flash, Black Canary, the Martian Manhunter and current regular Green Arrow. With DC putting the clamps on any Batman reference and the long, long, long awaited Wonder Woman film, it still leaves untold superheroes who would love a TV gig.

Tom is in his 30s and Lois looks like his mother. The series should be called Long in the tooth Lois and Clark. Time to end the series with a great ending. It should have ended last year. Lois and Clark was a better series with Dean and Terry on ABC. The Lois in Smallville is a class clown.

1) It’s Welling. Not Weilling. Two L`s.
2) Father of the Bride 2? Did you perhaps mean the Cheaper by the Dozen movies?
3) There are 23 episodes in a typical Smallville season. Not 24.
4) It was Impulse, technically, not the Flash.
Thanks for your thoughts, and have a great day!

unlike Lost, where it took them a few years to decide it would take them 3 years to come up with a last episode, we all know that in the last episode of Smallville, we will see Clark in the super-suit.
Try to remember the actors act the way the scripts are written and directed. Lois throughout history is supposed to be a crackerjack reporter with one teensy, weensy blind spot. personally, i always thought lana is super cute and lois is super hot.
Hmmm a series named Clark and Lois. could be
