According to Entertainment Weekly’s TV guru, Michael Ausiello, Smallville is among the shows officially announced as being picked up for another Season come this fall by the CW. This season has seen steady ratings, and good buzz amongst fans with Doomsday as a major villain and more DCU guest stars including the Legion of Superheroes and the coming appearance of Zatanna. Two of the four current producers of the show are leaving to helm a remake of Melrose Place (I wish I was kidding).
Supernatural, Smallville’s genre sibling on the network, also got renewed for a new season.

I like Smallville mostly. I’m kind of happy. When Smallville is good, it’s very exciting. We get to see the first live action version of lots of DC characters. That’s really neat. And the twisting of the mythos is hit or miss, Lionel Luthor et al. But when Smallville is bad, it’s the worse thing you’ve ever seen. Clunky dialogue and horrible twists like Lana powersuit, etc. I just want the show to end really strong.

If Smallville doesn’t end with Clark running down an alley, ripping his shirt open and revealing the Superman logo underneath, it will be a major downer.

I’m a big SV fan- but Clark is getting a bit old to not be wearing the tights yet.
I wish DC/Warners would see this as the vehicle to relaunch the Supeman franchise and start making big budget - higher action packed films with Welling & Co.

Other than Batman and Wonder Woman, who it seems can’t show up b/c of rights, only Green Lantern is left. Having Clark run into Kyle in Metropolis seems like a no-brainer idea for an episode.

Thank the heavens you’re not kidding about Melrose Place!

I wish they would get rid of the other two showrunners also. Bring back Steven DeKnight and Jeph Loeb to run things. With maybe some input from Welling, because when he directs, Clark is always more pro-active and confident.
