I bailed out during/after S4. It became boring and I wasn't feeling the magic and/or Native American storylines either. Plus, Supernatural came on after that and it was a far better show. Well, for a time. I checked back in every once in awhile and catch a random episode, only because it was on before
Supernatural.
And if I'm not mistaken, did they not kill Lex? Always a baffling decision to me, since the show ends with Clark becoming Superman. Confusing as to why you'd get rid of Lex, especially when he's such a core villain not only to Superman, but in the DC mythos as a whole.
Also, remember
Birds of Prey and how that was supposed to sync up with
Smallville at some point? Man that show was terrible. Truly awful. Thankful it got cancelled, though when I was younger I enjoyed it far more than
Smallville re-watched it a couple years ago and...well, poor decision.
If you want a non shite Superman growing up story, read Tom de Haven's "It's Superman!"
Or
Superman For All Seasons.
First 5 seasons are great, the rest are trash, but since it was the only live action comic related show on TV i watch all 10 seasons, if we had Arrow or Flash on back then Smallville would have been ignored quickly..
To be fair, we wouldn't have
Arrow or
The Flash the way they are today without using
Smallville as an example. Make of that what you will.
One of my favorite opening TV show song though...

Show was a mess, moments of brilliance which ultimately end in disappointment.
I can only assume that is an example of the brilliance?
