Updated: Smallville Flies To ABC Family
Special Thanks To: Darius

The ABC Family cable network has secured the rights to air repeat episodes of Smallville beginning in Fall 2004.

"Smallville is a great addition to ABC Family's lineup this fall," Mark Silverman, ABC Family's general manager and senior vice president, said in a report at Zap2It.com. "Smallville has a loyal audience, thematic appeal for today's families, and will serve as a strong anchor to complement original programming."

UPDATE: Variety reports that ABC Family is paying $400,000 per episode to show Smallville in repeats. The paper also says that ABC Family outbid both Spike TV and the Sci-Fi Channel for rerun rights.

John Schneider Returns To Hazzard
The Ubisoft video game company will be premiering a new video game, "The Dukes of Hazzard: The Return of the General Lee" in October. The game will feature the voice of John Schneider (Smallville's Jonathan Kent) alongside his co-stars from the original Dukes of Hazzard TV series, Tom Wopat, Catherine Bach, and James Best.

It follows two previous Dukes games that were released for the Playstation a few years ago, one of which featured Schneider's voice.

Fans who grew up watching Schneider as "Bo Duke" will be happy to know that the first season of The Dukes of Hazzard will be on DVD on June 1, 2004. The pilot episode of the series, "One Armed Bandits," features commentary by Schneider as well as Catherine Bach, who you might remember as the woman who "Daisy Dukes" into popularity. And hey, if all else fails, the first season has Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane, who is and forever will be the hero of KryptonSite's webmaster Craig.

Recap From The Paley Festival!
Special thanks to: Wendi

Several members of Smallville's cast and crew spoke on Monday night at seminar about Smallville at the annual William S. Paley Television Festival sponsored by the Museum of Television and Radio.

Following a showing of the third season's premiere, "Exile," and a short clip from the Museum's archives of The Adventures of Superman which would make everyone say "Our Mama Kent is prettier than yours," the SV cast and crew were treated by a round of questions from the moderator and fans. The guests, of course, were:

Al Gough (Smallville executive producer and co-creator)
Miles Millar (Smallville executive producer and co-creator)
Tom Welling (Smallville's Clark Kent)
Annette O'Toole (Smallville's Martha Kent)
Sam Jones III (Smallville's Pete Ross)
Greg Beeman (Executive producer and director up in Vancouver)
Ken Biller (Director and writer of the popular episode "Shattered")
Joe Davola (Executive producer from Tollin-Robbins Productions)
Ken Horton (Executive producer and writer of "Whisper")
Jeph Loeb (Consulting producer, Superman comics writing legend and writer of episodes like "Red" and the upcoming "Legacy")
Mark Snow (Composer of the music you hear in the show)
Mark Verheiden (Co-executive producer and popular writer since the first season - he also has written several stories for the Smallville comic book)
Mat Beck (Visual Effects genius)

The other cast members who weren't there were busy filming the 20th episode of Season Three, titled "Talisman." John Schneider is directing the episode.

A good time was had by all, even though your webmaster here has missed a chance to meet Tom Welling yet again (but don't think that ruined the evening; it was still a lot of fun!) As promised, we now have posted a recap of the night's events, written with a LOT of detail by Wendi for KryptonSite (thanks, Wendi!)

Read the recap! - See pictures!

The WB's Top Five Fan Choices Revealed
The WB has revealed which five episodes will be aired this month as part of the "You Say It, We Play It" program. These episodes will air on Wednesdays at 9PM for the next few weeks. We're not totally sure yet in what order they will be, except for that the series' first episode airs this week, on March 10.

A body double and apparently some hormone-driven teenagers made "Nicodemus" take the #1 spot in the voting. Rounding out the top five, in order, are "The Pilot," "Red," "Rosetta," and "X-Ray."

We're a bit disappointed such classics like "Hourglass" didn't make the cut, but unfortunately the folks who prefer to see body doubles won out. These are still five fun episodes to see again. Stay tuned for the exact order in which these will be re-airing.

Big Upcoming Smallville Role Cast
