April Fool's Day!
By now you've probably seen KryptonSite's 2006 April Fool's page. It's an annual tradition here that most of you have caught on to. As you can see from the links below, some of these April Fool's gags have turned out to be true. (Lex and Lana get together? Gough & Millar do an Aquaman series?)

Hopefully you're not offended or upset and will keep coming back to K-Site. Thanks for playing along!

Oh, and today really is Annette O'Toole's birthday, so wish her a good one, okay? And if you liked this year's gags... or want to tear us a new one, you know where to find us.

"Hypnotic" Ratings!
"Hypnotic" had the lowest overnight rating for a new episode this season, but then again, episodes after a long string of repeats usually do poorly. Or, maybe, the whole "behavior change so someone is seduced" thing has been done so often people thought the episode was a repeat, and they missed the good Fine/Lex/ship stuff within.

The show did, however, improve in its second half hour.

Here's a look at the overnight-ratings breakdown for this week's Smallville:

(R) denotes repeat airing

ABC Family Update
We have received several e-mails telling us that the ABC Family cable network has replaced Smallville with 7th Heaven on their schedule.

We've contacted the proper people, and it sounds as though Smallville will return to ABC Family, though no return date has been set. We'll keep you updated as soon as we know anything.

"Hypnotic!"
A new episode of Smallville aired March 30 at 8PM on the WB.

The episode features the return of a popular character.

TV Guide Posts Longer "Hypnotic" Article Online
TV Guide has posted online an extended version of a "Hypnotic" feature previously printed in their magazine. Here's a sample quote (contains mild spoilers):

"It leads Clark to finally do the heroic thing and break it off with Lana, because it isn't going to work [between them]," says Gough. And Ms. Lang's reaction? "She doesn't take it lying down. No, you're going to see Lana slightly unleashed as well. You know the old saying, 'Hell hath no fury....'"

Hey, we thought Lana and Clark broke up in "Reckoning." And "Vengeance." And "Cyborg." But what the heck, here we go for Round Four! Apparently "I'm breaking up with you" is the "you keep hiding secrets from me" for 2006.

The article does have some cool stuff, though, about the episode's returning villain.

Michael Rosenbaum Interviewed At Zap2It
Zap2It.com has posted an interview with Michael Rosenbaum where he talks about what may lie in the future for Lex, especially in matters involving Lana Lang. He also talks about his in-the-works sitcom and the possibility of directing an episode of Smallville next season. Here's a sample:

[Tom] Welling is directing a "Smallville" episode this season, and Rosenbaum is planning to do the same (especially since the show seems a lock to make the transition to the new CW Network).

"They said I could do one next year," he says. "I figure, 'Why not?'"

Part 2 of Allison Mack Interview Posted
Allison Mack Online has posted Part 2 of their all-new interview with Smallville's Chloe Sullivan, Allison Mack.

Here's a sample quote, where Allison talks about the ways that Chloe has changed over the years:

"She's not as frantic as she used to be and just lets things roll off her back--and I think that's important. She's really become such a voice of reason for Clark in a lot of ways. She's really the voice of reason for the show. She was such a spastic, emotional, reactionary girl. And now she's a very strong, intense, and focused and intelligent woman and she's really a nice rock for Clark."

Wopat guest starred earlier this season with John Schneider on the Smallville episode "Exposed." And we hope that Wopat wasn't the one driving to the show. ;)

New John Glover Interview Online
The Courier-Mail in Australia had an online interview posted with Smallville's Magnificent You-Know-What, John Glover.

In the interview, Glover talks about his character and its place in the Superman mythos, and offers some hints as to what is to come in Lionel's future.

"I think Lionel wants Lex to be like Lionel, and not like himself. He can't accept Lex's flaws – he thinks they make him Lex – and that's what makes our scenes together so exciting. He can't, and likely never will, give Lex his love because he's not enough like Lionel," Glover told the paper.

He also talks about the enthusiastic fan response to Lionel. "They call me 'The Magnificent Bastard'," he chuckles, referring to the name originated on Television Without Pity.

"Isn't that a beautiful title? I love it, and have done since I found out about it a couple of years ago."

Updated: Chloe Sullivan Heads To Comics
Special thanks to: JNILA & Heather

The character of Chloe Sullivan, first introduced on Smallville, will be headed to comic books in the new continuity following DC Comics' Infinite Crisis.

Reports from the Wizard World convention in Los Angeles reveal that Superman comics editor Matt Idelson says that there are plans to incorporate Chloe into Superman's four-color world.

What could this mean for Chloe on Smallville? The idea that "she dies before the end" could finally be put to rest, for one thing...

We'll let you know when and if we hear more.

Click here to read the full convention report at Comic Book Resources

UPDATE! A recap of the DC panel at Wizard World posted at Newsarama.com reveals there have been some mixed signals at DC. Here's what they say: "Asked of Chloe from Smallville will ever appear in the DCU, [Dan] Didio and Superman editor Matt Idelson had different responses. Didio said there were no plans, but Idelson followed his response and said there actually were some plans." Since Idelson is more directly involved with Supeman than Didio, who oversees everything, hopefully that means he is the one who is correct.

Superboy Season One DVD Cover!
Warner Home Video has released the cover art for the Season One DVD set from the 1988-1992 Superboy series, available on June 20, 2006.

Because of legal entanglements, Superboy has not been seen in American syndication in over 10 years.

Superboy Season One featured a very different Clark Kent's college days, with John Haymes-Newton as Clark Kent/Superboy and Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang. Some episodes were directed by David Nutter, who directed Smallville's pilot.

While later seasons of Superboy which starred Gerard Christopher are more fondly remembered and anticipated by fans, we won't get further sets without big sales on the first year. So, be sure to get a copy and show your interest!

John Schneider (Jonathan) sang the National Anthem on March 10 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway before the Nascar Busch Series race, which aired on FX. Schneider, still obviously trying to escape Sheriff Rosco, drove the General Lee down the front stretch and climbed out before singing.

Michael Rosenbaum Plays Lex Luthor... Again... In "The Great Brain Robbery"
This weekend, the U.S. Cartoon Network showed the animated Justice League Unlimited episode, "The Great Brain Robbery." In it, the character of the Flash (voiced by Smallville's own Michael Rosenbaum) switched bodies with Lex Luthor... so, essentially, Michael was playing Lex in the Flash's body. You'll notice if you watch that Michael doesn't play his Luthor Smallville-style, and even pronounces the name Lu-Thor, like Otis would in days gone by.

Listen closely and, if we're not mistaken, Michael also voices the villain Doctor Polaris.

Check your local Cartoon Network listings to keep an eye out for a re-airing of this episode.

Vengeance Chronicles Bring New Online Smallville Content
Tying in with the Smallville Acuvue sweepstakes, The WB has now been providing an exclusive series of "webisodes" much in the vein of the Chloe Chronicles of years gone by. This year, the Vengeance Chronicles again star Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) with some backup from Andrea Rojas, the Angel of Vengeance from the episode "Vengeance" (Denise Quiñones).

The first two chapters (available at this link) serve as an introduction; with Part 3 the real action begins with an exclusive story unlike anything that will be seen on the show. Those of you without a fast Internet connection, don't fret - these stories WILL appear on the Season Five DVD, due in the Fall of 2006.

Within this series, we'll learn about something that's happening to the superheroes of Metropolis, and whatever is happening may tie in to Level 33.1. If you're having a craving for new Smallville this month when we're in repeats-land, you'll be in luck when you see these.

Two More Episode Titles!
We now have titles for the 19th and 21st episodes of the current season of Smallville.

Visit the KryptonSite Spoilers Page to find out what they are!

Why Are There No New Episodes Until March 30?
This is a popular question that we've been getting in our e-mailbox at K-Site a lot and I don't think people understand the real reason for. There are a number of reasons why there won't be any new Smallville until that time.

Most important, is that there are only 22 episodes produced to fill 52 weeks in the year. Obviously this will mean we'll get some repeats. A lot of those repeats air in the summer; but they are also sprinkled in for a few weeks in December, January, and March. 22 episodes is the TV industry standard.

Secondly, when Smallville returned on January 12, it was a week earlier than the show usually returns. So, another repeat had to go in somewhere.

Episodes take time to produce and put together. The only way we'd get 22 episodes in a row is if we had a 5 or 6 month long break between seasons, like 24 does. Do you REALLY want that?

So, those are just a few of the reasons why we have to wait until March 30 for the next new episode. In the meantime, just watch repeats, and speculate on upcoming episodes in the KryptonSite Forum!

"Vengeance"'s Denise Quiñones Dives In To The Aquaman Series
Denise Quiñones, who guest starred on the Feb. 2 episode of Smallville ("Vengeance") as Andrea, the "Avenging Angel," has been cast as the female lead in the Aquaman TV pilot being prepared for The CW by Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

Denise plays a character named "Rachel."

Visit AquamanTV.com for more details!

New Episodes Return March 30
Mr. Video has sent us the tentative schedule for the rest of the season of Smallville.

As you can see, new episodes are scheduled to return on March 30, and the current plan is for the season finale to air on May 11. This also means that rumors implying a shorter or longer season are false.

Keep in mind that plans sometimes do change, but this is how things are looking at the moment:

Comic Book Creators Assemble For "Sam's Story"
Sam Loeb, the 17-year-old son of former Smallville Supervising Producer Jeph Loeb, was a frequently seen face to the crew of Smallville and to the many fans and friends who had met his father at conventions and public appearances. Sam left us way too soon, at the age of 17 in June 2005.

The Season Five premiere of Smallville, "Arrival," was dedicated to Sam's memory.

The Newsarama website has posted an interview Jeph Loeb where he talks about his son and a special story Sam wrote for DC's Superman/Batman comic book before his passing - a story that 26 of the industry's top creators will be completing as their own tribute to Sam. Check out this roster:

Arthur Adams (Longshot, Jonni Future)
Joe Casey (G.I. Joe, Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Superman)
John Cassaday (Astonishing X-Men, Planetary)
Joyce Chin (Superman: Silver Banshee, Xena)
Ian Churchill (Cable, Supergirl)
Allan Heinberg (JLA, Young Avengers)
Geoff Johns (Infinite Crisis, The Flash)
Joe Kelly (Superman, Deadpool)
Mike Kunkel (Herobear and the Kid)
Jim Lee (X-Men, Batman: Hush, All-Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder)
Pat Lee (Superman/Batman #7, Transformers)
Rob Liefeld (X-Force, New Mutants, Youngblood)
Paul Levitz (Legion of Superheroes)
Jeph Loeb (Superman For All Seasons, Supergirl - former supervising producer for Smallville who also wrote several Smallville episodes, including "Red," "Insurgence," and "Legacy")
Joe Madureira (Battle Chasers, Uncanny X-Men)
Jeff Matsuda (The Batman animation design; does anyone remember New Men?)
Ed McGuinness (Superman/Batman, Deadpool)
Brad Meltzer (award-winning author, Identity Crisis, Justice League of America)
Carlos Pacheco (Avengers Forever, Superman/Batman, Green Lantern)
Duncan Rouleau (Superman, Alpha Flight)
Tim Sale (Superman For All Seasons, Batman: The Long Halloween)
Richard Starkings (award-winning letterer)
Mike Turner (Fathom, Superman/Batman)
Brian K. Vaughan (Y the Last Man, Runaways)
Mark Verheiden (The American, also was a producer for Smallville who wrote fan-favorite episodes like "Perry" and "Rogue," now a writer for Battlestar Galactica)
Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, now writing Astonishing X-Men)

Superman/Batman #26 is due in comic book specialty shops in April. If you are interested in getting this comic, we do recommend that you call your local comics retailer (to find, dial 1-800-COMIC-BOOK) and tell them that you'd like a copy reserved, so they are aware of the demand. All of the creators listed will be donating their fees and royalties to the Sam Loeb College Scholarship Fund to be given every year to a graduating senior at Sam's high school.

Read Jeph Loeb's complete Newsarama interview about Superman/Batman #26 here.

The link above also features a preview of a 6-page story from Superman/Batman #26 written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by his For All Seasons collaborator Tim Sale. Not only is it done in the Superman For All Seasons style, but in a way, you could almost see it in the Smallville universe. Be warned, however: The story is beautifully written and drawn, but it is not for people who cry easily at sad things.

[If you want to know more about The Sam Loeb College Scholarship Fund, or if you want to make a donation no matter how large or small, please send an email to SAMLOEB4@AOL.COM.]

Schneider Interview At TVGuide.com
A new interview at TVGuide.com has John Schneider talking about the death of Jonathan Kent and what is in his future. Here's a sample quote:

"In many senses, Jonathan is in the show more after he's dead. His memory is kind a talisman for the second half of Season 5. I'm in it in spirit more than I was in Season 4 at all."

Click here to read the interview!

Why Does John Schneider Remain In The Smallville Opening Credits?
After the airing of "Vengeance," some fans wondered why John Schneider remains in the opening credits of Smallville when his character was killed in the 100th episode.

Contractual obligations will keep John in the opening titles for the rest of the season, whether or not he is slated to appear on the show again. Usually, when an actor appears in more than half of the episodes of the season, they still appear in the opening - witness Erica Durance and John Glover, who usually only appear in 13 of the 22 episodes per year.

The WB has released 5 more preview images from "Cyborg," the new episode of Smallville airing on Thursday, February 16.

Surprising News: The WB, UPN To Merge
Many television websites are now reporting the surprising news that The WB network and UPN will merge into one television network this Fall.

This will lead to a new network aimed at the networks' target demographics that will be combined to form something currently called "The CW." TV Guide jokes that "Veronica and Clark are totally going to hook up now." (We're thinking they already have, for the few episodes in Season 1 when Chloe and Clark got together.)

Some news reports have indicated that Smallville will indeed be part of this new network's line-up, though obviously the number of available timeslots will diminish. Stay tuned for more details as they become available. The joint venture could lead to something cool; though we've got to ask out loud: "The CW?" Really doesn't roll off the tongue.

Titles For Episodes #5-17 & #5-18!
We've been able to learn the titles for the 17th and 18th episodes of the current season of Smallville.

Classic Superman Movies On Sale For $7.97 Each!
We've just noticed that the four movies in the Superman movie series starring Christopher Reeve are now being listed at 60% off on Amazon.com - at a price of $7.97 each!

We're not sure how long this deal is good for, so if you want to check out the classics (and perhaps see how they compare to Smallville or the coming Superman Returns), click the links below:

Superman: The Movie Special Edition - The one that started it all, includes scenes on Krypton and some sequences involving young Clark Kent going to the Fortress of Solitude!
Superman II - Sadly not the Richard Donner cut, but still - this one's got the Phantom Zone and Zod - you might want to brush up on these things because you never know when they may pop up next.
Superman III - Derided by fans but really fun. And it has Annette O'Toole (Martha) as Lana Lang. Yes, Clark's mom is Lana Lang. Talk about an Oedipal complex...
Superman IV: The Quest For Peace - The less said about this one the better, but it IS Christopher Reeve's last film as Superman.

KryptonSite 100th Episode Interview With Executive Producer Alfred Gough
We've been fortunate enough to interview Smallville Executive Producer Alfred Gough about the upcoming 100th episode of the series.

In the interview, Gough talks about Clana relationships, a boyfriend for Chloe, the future of Lois Lane, Aquaman, Jor-El, James Marsters, how the 100th episode will change Clark, and more.

Here's a brief teaser of part of the interview, as he tells us about the changes Clark will face following the January 26 show:

"It's definitely going to force him to take a look at his life, and realize that the decisions you could make as a high school kid and the decisions you make as a young adult are vastly different, and it's a step closer from becoming the Superboy to Superman."

Be aware that the interview does contain spoilers. "Reckoning" airs on January 26.

Season 5 on DVD: That Far-Too-Frequent Question Returns

If Warner Bros. continues their current DVD-release tradition, Season 5 will not be on DVD until September or October 2006.

Lois & Clark Season 2 DVD Available To Pre-Order
The second season of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is now listed on Amazon.com to pre-order for its release on January 17, 2006. The 1990's Super-series featured desperate housewife Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane with Dean Cain as her Superman.

The second season started off with more action than previous years, but then the fans waiting for the characters to get together did finally get their pay-off. Look for fan-favorite episodes like "Season's Greedings," "The Phoenix," "Tempus Fugitive," and "Whine Whine Whine" on the set.

Pre-order your copy and support KryptonSite!

Keep in mind also that Amazon's promotion of Lois & Clark Season One for the reduced price of only $19.99 is still valid as of this writing.

Season 2 of the 1950's Superman TV series, The Adventures of Superman, is also due for release that week, and the first year of 1990's super-hero series The Flash is due out the week prior, on January 10.
