Still not enough times to realize it's '70s and not 70's.
I have spent 4 months worth of time watching Smallville

My most watched show has to be New Girl by this point. That's the show my brain wants to watch when I'm crazy stoned.

It's a shame it's not available to stream online anywhere.
I'd like to watch a random episode here and there.

I really enjoyed it but i also have deep and thick nostalgia glasses towards it.
Also had a really terrible Deathstroke, i think he just wore grey spandex and no mask and it was real dumb.

I bailed around when arrow showed up.
If you bailed when Ollie showed up, you saw nothing near peak shit Lana.
She gets so much worse.

I was on an episode of Smallville, so you probably watched me 20 times. Neat.

Did you get knocked out at any point?
The show certainly had its ups and downs and it was still in that weird early 2000s mode of wanting to be a superhero property, but being afraid of being a superhero property. The whole "no tights, no flights" shit was so stupid. They then just went off the fucking rails with each season being its own contained cluster fuck of a mess -- especially the last couple of seasons. But it was still wildly entertaining and had some inspired casting. Callum Blue's Zod was awesome. No one has topped Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor. Hell, even John Glover's Lionel Luthor was amazing. But damn, the writing was bad.

No but I got free donuts and I flirted with the blonde girl who was super nice and that's about it. Their set was interesting, how you had to walk through Clark's bedroom to get to the high school hallway.

First proper TV series I started watching with my father. It evolved into me watching series such as Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica and many more with the old guy.
For that I will be grateful to the show; enjoyed parts and the theme song still gives nostalgic vibes.

Still better than The Falsh.
The first few seasons were good, but it got dull rather quick after Clark goes to college. You're professor is an Alien Kryptonian!

Not even close to flash. Either the new series or the 90s series
Allison Mack was better.
Hey now, it may have been mostly mediocre but Smallville existed way before any of these superhero shows that are now popular.
Smallville proved that a superhero show could happen and have good ratings. Even with the success of Marvel, it might have taken longer to put the DC shows on television. Heck, I see all these people complaining about Arrow and all that, yet Smallville has helped me be grateful for the superhero shows (not exactly a compliment...).
Also, Lex Luthor. He immediately makes the show worth it.
Smallville has some fantastic moments. Like the moment that ended the pilot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcYZ93qVFhs (or just about all the other times with Lifehouse) give me chills, so well done.
I don't know how anyone can possibly take that amount of cringe
I actually liked this dance in the barnhouse a bit better:https://youtu.be/kEm-91WwfG0
Man, Erica Durance saved that show.
He is a producer now, I believe. Did Hellcats a while back and some other stuff right now.
I saw the first five seasons. There were things I liked - Lex, Lionel, Chloe, Not-Pete, Martha, etc. - I just wish that the show had a more ambitious vision of what it could have been.
Also, of all the egregious "20-something year olds playing teenagers on television", this one was particularly awkward.

Whoa. I mean...whoa.
Thanks for reminding me how much time I wasted watching this series. There are still some really good aspects to it. The whole farm homely atmosphere is great. Tom Welling is a great fit. Chloe was fun. Lois Lane was cool. Michael Rosenbaum is perfect as Lex. But so man times where the plot goes, like the whole Luther island crap and other filler shit...
Yep, I agree the casting was really spot on. Only so much they could do without the suit though.
If you ignore the original superman show, 60's batman, wonder woman, the hulk, and lois and clark maybe.

Only done Smallville twice and the second time will be my last rewatch. Sadly it's not holding up well for me.
Now SG1 well I have rewatched all tween seasons once a year since it went off the air and I don't see that stopping. Don't even want to think how much time that means I have spent on that show.
Also watched all of 24 at least 3 times now. Almost time to do it again.

The WB/CW in those days had a habit of having the female lead of every show being completely lacking in personality and pursued by all of the male leads. They weren't characters- they existed for the purpose of being a blank template for fangirls to project themselves onto.
On Smallville, this was Lana.
Lois was introduced as a supporting character. She didn't become the romantic lead until Kristin Kruek left the show. By then, it was too late. She already had a well developed personality. They couldn't turn her into "pants."
Around the end of the series, the actor who played Pete was arrested for drug distribution.

K, captain cool guy. Thank you for blessing me with your correction.
But seriously, could you have pointed it out without coming across like a gigantic asshole? It was a small mistake from a hastily-written message. But no, latch onto it. Piece of shit. People like you are why I hate this place. You think you're so much better than everyone else.

My main issue with this show seemed to be Clark doing fucking everything before coming Superman. He fought Zod, Darkseid, Doomsday, Brainiac, formed the Justice League, found the Fortress (pretty sure it got destroyed too at one point), got with Lois, lost his father, was cloned and found Kara. Was meeting Batman and Wonder Woman the one thing he didn't do by the time the show ended?
Also to this day I still have no clue why their Flash was Bart Allen as opposed to Wally or Barry. My only guess is that he was prominent in the comics around the time he appeared.

Gah, the creepy obsession the people in charge of this show had with Kristen Kreuk... Then after she left they transferred some of that annoying aspects to Chloe. >_<
Body double for a character that was like 14/15 at the time though Kreuk was 18/19 and just didn't feel comfortable with it I guess.
Say that again.

Clark being fourteen in season 1 took casting adults as teenagers to a whole new level. I can barely grasp it when the character is 16 or 17 but 23-24 year old Tom Welling playing him was just terrible.

Yeah and all those shirtless scenes for a character who was 14 years old, the 10 year age difference was some 90210 shit. I get why they hire older actors but then the show ran for 10 years and Welling couldn't (or didn't want to) maintain the shape he was in during his mid-late 20s and very early 30s where he started bulking up and was relatively huge in season eight but after that and especially the last season it seemed like he didn't hit the gym nearly as hard and it showed in a few scenes in season 10 and it was kind of funny that Clark was more jacked/ripped at 14 than he was at 24.

Scrubs has 189 episodes according to IMDB. Minus 13 for Season Nine.
169 multiplied by 22 minutes is roughly 61.966 hours, or 2.58 days. Let's say 2.5.
If I'm to ignore the last season I've seen multiple times, the times I feel asleep watching scrubs because it was my background music for years as I drifted off, or times I just had to leave mid-episode I'd say I've seen each season in its entirety 50 times. That's about 4 months as well; If we're counting the half episodes I drifted off to or the hundred times I've seen the musical or 100th episode then my rough estimate would be since the show aired 15 years ago I've spent 5, probably 6 months of my life watching Scrubs. (And counting as I'm about to put it on right now.) That's about an two episodes a day since its debut, right? Yea, that sounds right.
It's cool OP, you do you.
Awesome, just let me know when and where: I'll bring pizza and beer!

He also made a sex tape with his girlfriend at the time IIRC.
EDIT: It was released 2010 with his permission through Vivid and now I've seen Sam Jones III's dick.

Playboy model.
Never really followed Smallville except for the odd episode here and there, but I can totally understand binging on a TV show.
Smallville lasted during an impressive time too if I remember correctly? Like 10 seasons? Does the show still hold up well towards the end? Because a lot of shows can't maintain a certain quality after so many years have passed.
Hahaha me too! One of my favorite shows of all time, I don't care what people say.
