"Metallo" Ratings
Smallville went down a little bit from last week in the overnight ratings, with the number surely to change (for better or for worse) with final totals, considering the show was pre-empted by baseball in the NYC market. (WPIX, you suck!)

On the bright side, though, the show didn't fall as sharply as Dollhouse did on FOX, which ended up with only 2.09 million this week (Ouch.) And it does seem like everything but Law & Order went down a little from last week. The Top Model repeat following Smallville had a preliminary rating of 1.43 million viewers - wouldn't the Friday 9PM slot be better served with Vampire Diaries encores?

In the "adults 18-49" demographic Smallville also beats FOX's Brothers and came close to matching ABC's Flashfoward repeat.

The Smallville Season 9 premiere is now on iTunes and is apparently one of the top sellers in the TV category.

Check it out!

Season Premiere Ratings: How Did Smallville Do?
The overnight TV ratings are now out, and as some expected, Smallville's first Friday night had significantly lower ratings than the show had before.

With that said... it still beats most of The CW's lineup on other days of the week. It's unfortunate, though, that the folks who didn't see the show on Friday night, or those who might have had audio problems on their local affiliates, won't get a second-chance "encore" like The CW had given some of its other shows.

Also unsurprising? The America's Next Top Model "encore" at 9PM had only 1.17 million viewers. How about a more compatible show to pair with?

The CW did say this, however, in a press release (Yes, they said something nice about the show for once!):

The premiere of SMALLVILLE scored our best performance in the Friday 8pm hour among adults 18-34 (1.0/4), adults 18-49 (1.0/4) and total viewers (2.5mil) in a year (Sept. 26 2008 – Smackdown).

Versus premiere night last year, Smallville outperformed our comedies by 25% in adults 18-49 and 25% in total viewers.

vampire diaries cw nina dobrevSmallville Moves To... Fridays at 8?!?!
The CW hasn't formally announced their Fall 2009 schedule, but many media outlets are reporting that The CW has placed their new series The Vampire Diaries in Smallville's timeslot and is moving Smallville to anchor Friday nights at 8PM.

The Vampire Diaries stars Paul Wesley (nee Wasilewski) and Ian Somerhalder, who appeared on Smallville as Lucas Dunleavy-Luthor and Adam Knight, respectively. Nina Dobrev (Degrassi: The Next Generation) also stars, and it seems the show is being created to target the Twilight vampire phenomenon, even though the original Vampire Diaries novels were published several years earlier.

The network will be officially confirming their schedules tomorrow, though several sources are confirming that this is indeed accurate. Also, with Smallville entering its ninth (and possibly final) season, the network is going to aim to build a new Thursday night.

Season Finale Ratings For "Doomsday"
Ouch.Despite a lot of promotion and hype leading into the season finale, "Doomsday" ended up with some of the lowest overnight ratings in the show's history.Perhaps ratings will go up a little when the final numbers are out. The season finale of Bones surely put a dent in things, and apparently there were major sporting events in several cities on Thursday night. Supernatural also didn't fare too well on Thursday night, with only 2.90 million in the overnights.

Here's the overnight-ratings breakdown for last night (Source: Mediaweek):

As if playing "Lisa" in ABC's upcoming V reinvention wasn't enough - Laura Vandervoort (Kara) has also signed on to star alongside Tahmoh Penikett of the Smallville episodes "Resurrection" and "Prototype" (as well as Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse) in a four-hour Sci-Fi Channel miniseries titled Riverworld.

The Hollywood Reporter says that Penikett will play war correspondent Matt Ellman, a man who is killed along with his fiancee (Laura Vandervoort) but awakens in a mysterious world populated by everyone who has lived on Earth.

The article claims that this could serve as a pilot for a series; however, with Penikett and Vandervoort possibly having other series this Fall, that might not be happening.

The mini-series will film soon and air next year.

Sci-Fi has also picked up a four-hour miniseries based on the classic comic strip character The Phantom. Ryan Carnes (Desperate Housewives and Doctor Who) has signed on to play the lead. Let's hope that one fares better than Eric Johnson's Flash Gordon did.

Despite heavy competition from a special Thursday American Idol, and even though the episode was not universally well-received (at least, according to the forums), Smallville's ratings were actually up a bit from last week.

UPDATE: The CW has issued a press release touting the ratings for "Power." Thanks to Jana, we now have that to share with you.

Here's the overnight-ratings breakdown for last night (Source: Mediaweek):

Rosenbaum Talks Smallville - Briefly - In Interview About Batman: The Brave And The Bold
Smallville's "Lex Luthor," Michael Rosenbaum, returned to the world of DC Comics characters on Friday, January 16 performing the voice of Deadman on the Cartoon Network's new Batman animated series, The Brave And The Bold.

James Harvey-Richardson of the World's Finest website has interviewed Rosenbaum about his new role, and he had this to say about a Smallville return:

"I don't think anyone has really let the idea that I'm not coming back actually sink in. I find it flattering. Do I miss the series? I miss the people. I will always cherish the fun times I had on the set of Smallville."

michael rosenbaumMichael Rosenbaum Willing To Return For The Series' Final Episodes?
The Windy City Times recently caught up with Michael Rosenbaum, where they talked about his career - past, present, and future - and the subject of a return to Smallville did come up... but there's a stipulation.

"I told the producers that I would only come back for the last episode or two if they let me wear a bald cap. I just grew my hair out," he said.

He also revealed in the interview that the producers have already attempted to bring him back. "They have asked me to come back a few times. People think they have seen me on the show since then but I found out they have been using body doubles to pretend that it's me. I don't know how fair that is to the fans," he says.

You can read the entire interview at the Windy City Times website.

legion smallville"Legion" Ratings!
Smallville's return didn't get "Justice"-style numbers but it was an improvement over the first returning-from-hiatus episode last year. It also got about double what 90210 had this week on The CW.

Ratings are a little skewed because an address from U.S. President George W. Bush interrupted regular programming for fifteen minutes on the East Coast, forcing the other networks to all run repeats in the hour. CBS was helped also by an eventful CSI at 9 which put things into their favor.

Smallville had a very good night on November 6, where, despite little on-air promotion, the return of Kara (Laura Vandervoort) may have brought some eyes back to the show. If only they could've gotten her to stay through to "Legion" (which was never a plan, as far as we know, but would have been cool just the same!)

robin grayson dickThe CW Scraps Plans For "The Graysons"
Smallville executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders had been working with Supernatural's McG on a project taking on another DC Comics legend - Robin - in a series called "The Graysons." Unfortunately, trade paper reports confirm rumors that the series will not come to be.

Variety reveals that Warner Bros. Pictures' Jeff Rubinov was the one to pull the plug, claiming that Rubinov initially gave his blessing but changed his mind in recent days.

"The studio has opted not to go forward with the development of 'The Graysons' at this time as the concept doesn't fit the current strategy for the Batman franchise," the studio said in a statement. "Warner Bros. Television is currently working on several replacement options for the CW."

A failure to launch for The Graysons may very well improve the chances of a Smallville Season 9 - or it could hopefully mean something even better than The Graysons should come down the pipeline. Stay tuned.

robin graysonsA Message From Souders & Peterson Regarding "The Graysons"
Smallville's executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders have written in with a message to the fans at KryptonSite, clearing up some reports that had been made implying that Smallville may be on its way out...

Dear Smallville fans,

As news and rumors swirl around the development of The Graysons for the CW, we have every intention of letting you, our fans, be the first to know the reality. Never have we been so committed to the continuing success of Smallville as we are to seasons 8 and 9. While we are extremely excited to be working hand-in-hand with Wonderland, Warner Bros. and the CW to create the origin story of Dick Grayson, it has never been intended as a replacement for Smallville, as is speculated in some media. The cast, crew, writers and producers are all working full-steam ahead on a story-line for Clark that allows for seasons of further trials and adventures for our favorite hero. As always, we all have you to thank for achieving eight years of this amazing show that Al and Miles created, and we're looking far beyond!

Brian Peterson & Kelly Souders

robin grayson dickSmallville's Souders & Peterson Fly With "The Graysons"
The CW may have found their Smallville replacement, or at least a companion series if the show should go for another year.

Variety has announced that Smallville executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders will soon be taking on another DC Comics legend - Robin - in a series called "The Graysons." Supernatural executive producer McG will also be involved.

Not many details are known about the project at this time. Obviously this series will take place before Robin meets Batman, and before his acrobatic family is murdered. The series will feature young Dick Grayson, who for some reason is using the nickname "D.J.," as "he will face challenges involving first loves, young rivals and his family as he grows up."

Stay tuned for more information when and if it becomes available.

Season Premiere Ratings: 4.38 Million!
Season 8 of Smallville premiered to great ratings despite not getting the same on-air promotion as Dawn Ostroff's favorite series Gossip Girl and 90210.

The show performed especially well in several key demographics. Supernatural - which followed Smallville - was also off to a very good start. (On the chart below, the show may still seem on the bottom, but keep in mind certain demographics in which it scored ahead of some of the competition, and even came in #1.)

Things are still down from last year's 5-million viewer season premiere, but are still impressive considering the lack of on-air promotion and the fact that some very popular actors from previous seasons are no longer with the show.

KryptonSite's Craig Byrne lays down his list of ten things he'd like to see in the eighth season of Smallville... and it should come as no surprise what you'll find as #1.

Read the column but be warned of possible spoilers!

justice leagueSpecial Smallville Repeat On Tuesday, August 26
The CW will be showing a special one-time-only airing of Smallville on Tuesday, August 26 at 8PM (ET).

The episode they will be showing will be none other than the blockbuster "Justice" teaming Clark up with the other members of the future Justice League - Bart "Impulse" Allen, Oliver "Green Arrow" Queen, Arthur "Aquaman" Curry, and Victor "Cyborg" Stone.

Following the episode will be a repeat of the first-season finale of Reaper for those of you who missed it the first time around.

We're not totally sure why The CW is trying out Smallville on a Tuesday night; maybe it's a potential timeslot change once Privileged tanks, or perhaps they're testing the waters for a Justice spin-off (please!?!?) Either way, be sure to watch on August 26... and then a few weeks later, on September 18, Season Eight begins!

Thanks to Mr. Video for the tip.

More Comic-Con Scoops!
KryptonSite was able to interview the actors and producers at Comic-Con. Those need to be transcribed, but for those of you who just can't wait, here are some tidbits:

- Allison Mack will be directing either episode #13 or #15 this season. She was originally going to direct back in Season 7, but her directorial plans were scuttled by the writers' strike. Allison also revealed that Chloe will not be in much of that episode.
- Justin Hartley is growing out a beard for a scene that will take place on an island.
- The DC Comics character of Maxima will indeed be in episode #4.
- Erica Durance as Lois factors heavily into the first four episodes and the opportunity to use her for more than 12 or 13 episodes is definitely there.

E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos is reporting that she has received confirmation that Justin Hartley will be returning to Smallville in Season Eight, not as a guest star, but as a series regular.

Hartley has a talent holding deal with The CW network, and his recent pilot, Austin Golden Hour, was not picked up as a series.

green arrowIt is said that Oliver's story arc will delve into his past rather than his superheroic identity as the Green Arrow.

While we're green with excitement about this news, what we'd really like to see is a Green Arrow spin-off series. Maybe this return for the Green Arrow will make that happen (and make Warner Bros. forget that silly "Green Arrow in prison" movie idea!)

Many online sources are confirming that Laura Vandervoort (Kara) will not be returning as a series regular in Season 8. This confirms speculation that surfaced when she was not on the cast list in the CW's press release.

When we last saw Kara, in "Arctic," she was somewhere within the Phantom Zone.

"They announced the cast... and I'm not a part of it," Vandervoort told TV Guide's Matt Mitovich. "We were all surprised when they chose not to bring me back as a regular, but I'm sure I'll be back for one or two [episodes]!"

Vandervoort seems to have a good attitude about the whole thing. "The show is about Clark Kent, and I was honored to be a part of it. I mean, my character became more than it was supposed to be. She ended up sticking around the entire season," she told Ausiello.

Since the CW passed on Justin Hartley's new series pilot Austin Golden Hour, TV Guide's Michael Ausiello (him again!) is reporting that producers are keen to bring him back to Smallville ASAP, especially in light of the show losing some of its key players.

More Oliver would always be a good thing, but even better would be to give him his own series already. Sure, Dawn Ostroff wants the network to be aimed at "12-34 year old women" - her words, not ours - but tell me this... what 12-34 year old woman does not think Justin Hartley is hot? I rest my case. The male viewers who want to see some Green Arrow action (and some Black Canary) would be an added bonus.

Kristin Kreuk Addresses Her Smallville Future
Kristin Kreuk (Lana) addressed her fans via her online Facebook profile regarding her future on the show, from the rest of Season 7 to beyond. Here's what she had to say:

Hey Team...

So, I thought I would give those of you curious about Smallville a brief debrief. I am in Bangkok for a few more months. So, no shooting of the Ville for me. I will return for a undetermined, although small, number of episodes in season 8.

I am not really opening up the floor for lots of discussion, because it is not really the place for it. Obviously I have loved my time on the show, but I am equally as thrilled to move on to new endeavors. One of which is very dear to me, and that is GBD [Girls By Design]. So thank you all for your really fabulous support and passion!!! I hope this clears up most of the questions...

xoxo
Kristin

Thanks to Arelis for the tip. Kristin is currently in Thailand filming the Street Fighter movie.

But that's not the only good news we have for you! The CW wants five more episodes of Smallville, bringing the total number of Season 7 episodes to 20... just two shy of the usual amount. Let's hope things work out with that happening.

The writers still have to vote on whether or not to accept the new proposed contract. For now what they've voted on was to end the strike. As always, we'll keep you updated!

Several months ago, it was announced that the character of Chloe Sullivan would be making her way into DC Comics Superman continuity in issue #674 of the Superman comic book, due out next month; unfortunately, it seems that will no longer be happening.

“Chloe is an exciting character on the television show, and we had hoped to work her into DC continuity, but unfortunately, the stars did not align properly, and even though we had announced it, she will not be appearing in any of the issues of Superman or Action Comics," DC Comics Executive Editor Dan DiDio said in an interview today at Newsarama.com.

We'll let you know if we hear of plans changing with this. At this moment, details are not available about what "stars did not align properly."

It Appears We Have Our Patricia Swann...
The official website of actress Gina Holden has revealed that she has recently booked a role on Smallville which began filming this week. As the episode "Traveler" is now shooting, that makes it VERY likely that Holden is playing the role of Patricia Swann, daughter of Dr. Virgil Swann from the show's early seasons.

Holden already has a Smallville connection, too, as she plays the love interest of one time "Whitney" Eric Johnson on the SciFi Channel's Flash Gordon series.

We don't know yet how many episodes will feature Patricia, but "Traveler" will be the character's first appearance.
