Al and Miles Say Goodbye to Smallville

Wow, I will admit this news kinda floored me. (Enough to make me come to my poor, neglected blog to post it!)

Al Gough and Miles Millar have called it quits as the showrunners for Smallville. Al and Miles created the show 7 years ago and have stood at the helm since then. It will be strange to think of the show without them but they have decided to move on and, really, this could be a good thing for Smallville. Over the last 4 years the storylines have seemed to go nowhere. I've enjoyed this season more than the last 2 or 3 but I think some fresh perspective might be good for the show.

Executive Producers Todd Slavkin, Darren Swimmer, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson will take over as showrunners next season. It's still strange to think that Al and Miles won't be running things but I guess we'll see how things go.

Well Premiere Week is History...

What I watched...and what I thought:

How I Met Your Mother - Legendary
Heroes - Rocked!
Chuck - Cute but corny. I'll give it a chance.
Back to You - Hilarity
Bionic Woman - Kicks Ass
Life - Best new show I've seen
Private Practice - Lame (but giving it another chance)
Reaper - My new fave
Grey's - Is Back
ER - Lukewarm
Smallville - Chloe Yay! Lana Boo.

Weigh in - what is your new favorite. How did the old faves fare?

Alright Already

I've been pondering this blog for a few days, trying to decide what I'm going to do here. Of course, I'm going to keep bringing the TV love, but I think I'm going a little more personal with this blog, too.

So officially, today, this blog becomes the blog about MY favorite shows and MY life (which basically revolves around my favorite shows anyway).

Speaking of my favorite shows, I got my Heroes DVD last week. If you haven't seen the unaired pilot, go now to get your DVD! It is AWESOME!! It also has 50 deleted scenes. Yes, FIFTY! I still haven't made it through all of them.

I ordered my Grey's Anatomy DVD yesterday and it's ready for me to pick up at Best Buy, so I'll report back when I've eyed the special features on that one. I elected for Best Buy because they were offering a free bonus DVD and, if you know me, you know I'm a sucker for free stuff.

One more week until Smallville comes to DVD and then my wallet is safe until December when LOST hits stores.

Is the Green Arrow coming back to Smallville?

Looks like it! Justin Hartley's official website has the following info posted:

Hartley Does Double Duty For The CW
Justin Hartley joins the cast of CW's mid-season replacement series, "Eight Days A Week" opposite Christina Milan and Mario Lopez produced by Sean Hayes. Hartley, who will play the role of 'Ben,' will also continue his role on as the 'Green Arrow'/Oliver Queen' on CW's "SMALLVILLE." Congratulations Justin!

Let's hope it's true! He was the best new character to come to Smallville in a long time.

Smallville Season 6 DVD Cover Art

This wasn't available when I posted about the DVD before, but I thought it was worth another post. Clark is looking all grown up and very foxxy here (as well he should since Tom Welling recently celebrated his 30th birthday). You also get a little sexy Lex and, unfortunately, a little Lana in the background.

This will make a nice addition to my collection!

Nods to Kryptonsite and Amazon.com!

Smallville Season 6 on DVD September 11!

DVD was what brought me to Smallville in the first place. I watched a few episodes during the summer hiatus after season 1 and I thought they were awesome. I ran out and bought the DVD as soon as it was available and was able to see the story from the beginning. I was hooked! I now own all 5 seasons and can't wait to get season 6!

Season 6 had it's share of Lana's hospital visits and Clark's whining but we also got some awesome moments like the Justice League, lots of Green Arrow-ness and a spectacular finale (even if there is no way Lana really blew up!)

According to Kryptonsite the DVD, which comes out September 11, will include some extras:

Ultimate Fan featurette - Fans sent in videos and some were chosen to be interviewed on the actual DVD set, which also includes interviews with cast and crew talking about their experiences with the fandom.

Green Arrow documentary - Justin Hartley made his Green debut this year. This DVD extra has interviews with people who have made their own mark on the world's greatest emerald archer, including Kevin Smith, Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, and more.

There is some mention of deleted scenes being included in the press release posted on TV Shows on DVD as well.

You can pre-order your copy at Amazon.com today!
