Former Daily Planet Owner Joins Smallville
Posted by: KryptonSite

Zap2it.com has reported that Patrick Cassidy, son of Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones and brother of David "Keith Partridge" Cassidy, has joined the cast of Smallville with the episode "Lineage." He will be playing a character named Harry Small who may turn out to be recurring.

This could be especially interesting to Superman fans, as earlier in his career, Cassidy appeared in three episodes of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman as "Leslie Luckabee," a man who bought the Daily Planet that also was thought to be the son of Lex Luthor. This time around, Cassidy will play a character with a familial connection to someone else. (Curious? Read the Spoilers page!)

Tuesday night's Smallville brought the WB it's highest Tuesday ratings EVER, according to reports from the WB. That would mean this is the THIRD week in a row that ratings have been superb.

Smallville ranked #1 in its time period in adults 18-34 (5.0/14), persons 12-34 (5.1/15), women 12-34 (5.0/15), men 12-34 (5.1/15) and female teens (4.5/17). It was also #2 in women 18-34 (5.2/14) and men 18-49 (4.4/12) and #3 in adults 18-49 (4.2/12).

Shawn "Leech" Ashmore Talks To Comics2Film
Posted by: KryptonSite

Shawn Ashmore, who played "Eric Summers" in the first season Smallville episode "Leech," was recently interviewed at Comics2Film.com.

Shawn spoke primarily about his role as Bobby Drake/Iceman in the upcoming movie sequel X-Men 2. But he did, however, mention his Smallville appearance. "Far as I know, the Smallville people haven’t said that they’d be interested in bringing that character back," he told Comics2Film. "I think that the show's concept of having new villains every show keeps it fresh and interesting."

John Schneider on the Radio!
Posted by: KryptonSite
Special thanks to: Corey from NC

John Schneider (Jonathan Kent) was featured the Mike and Morgan in the Morning radio show on Tuesday, October 1st, where he talked about the show, and past series in his career.

John of course did the "comparing Clark to a special needs child" bit again, and he told a funny story from the set as well:

"I have to tell you a quick story," John told the show. "We're on the porch of the Kent Family farm last season and Tom Welling who plays Clark Kent is looking at me playing Jonathan - giving him some serious bit of parental advice and all of a sudden, I hear him say, 'Will you look at that car.' And I turn around and down the street driving right in front of the Kent family farm house was an orange '69 Dodge Charger with a big '01 on the door and a flag on the roof."

To read a transcript of John's appearance on the show, click here. Thanks again to Corey from NC for sharing and transcribing!

Presenting: KryptonSite's Smallville College Page!
Posted by: KryptonSite

It has been brought to our attention that it's becoming quite a tradition on campus for people to have Smallville parties on Tuesday nights to watch the new episodes of the show. Really, a good amount of fans of Smallville happen to be in college, and it is our goal as a site to be able to acommodate them.

At KryptonSite's new Smallville College Page, one can find a directory of where Tuesday-night Smallville parties may be on campus, and they can also get to a message board with such events in mind. There are even some partiest planned for this week, so be sure to visit, and visit often!

Also coming soon to the college page: A Smallville drinking game! All we can say now is pray Lana doesn't mention her dead parents too much, or you could be wasted by hour's end.

Please let us know what you think of this new idea, and if there's anything you'd like to see added, let us know!

It's Back: Planet Krypton: The KryptonSite Newsletter
Posted by: KryptonSite

Before there was a KryptonSite, there was Planet Krypton, an online newsletter devoted to the television series Lois & Clark. The newsletter evolved and began covering Smallville news, and that then it evolved again into what eventually became this very website.

Over the past year we've fallen behind with newsletter updates, even though many people did sign up at Yahoo! to receive the newsletter.

We still believe that this website is a far more effective tool in getting the word out, much more effective than a newsletter. However, those of you who would like to be kept abreast of new and big things to show up at KryptonSite are encouraged and welcomed to sign up for the new Planet Krypton. It's free, it may smell a little bit like spam, but at least it'd be spam about good stuff, right? While you're there you can read some of the older newsletters, including some that were written when Smallville was only in development!

And of course, even if you're not interested in the newsletter, you can always find the latest Smallville news here at the site. Please let us know how we're doing, and thanks for visiting the site!
