I never watched this, and seeing as I like things Superman related....I put it on my Sky Never Miss and the pilot is being shown this week on SyFy.
I know there are a lot of seasons, so without any spoilers, is it worth giving it a go?
Thanks :-)

NO!!! :eek::eek:
Seriously.
Many people got sucked in and watched 'til the end despite losing the will to live half-way through
This.
I watched it till the end but nearly every episode was a major drag
But it does suffer from a lot of cast depatures though, which i hear does make the show suffer. I don't know if that is true
I'd say it's worth checking out at least, but if you manage to get far into it, expect there to be significant lulls in quality quite frequently and severely later on.
Think I will give it a go and see how what happens.
Syfy don't seem to show all of them though as after season 5 it goes back to 1.
But can get the others else where if I get into it.
That;s annoying!
Really were showing Greys Anatomy from the beginning, which I missed first time round but it stopped at the end of Season 3 and hasn't started up again - most annoying!
I loved Lois & Clark.
It is worth watching, but it did drag on for about 5 years too long.
Seasons 1 - 5 are good, but after that, it just treads water IMO.
Not sure when during the fall it actually died but by the time it ended its run there was nothing left but a rancid stinking corpse.
I liked season. Too
I say, yes, go for it. I've really enjoyed each series so far and I have season 6 & 7 waiting at home to watch.
You can notice though the writers had their hands tied with a lot of things.
Watch all 10 seasons then pick up the CANON Season 11 comic. It's Smallville with a budget and the pointless "nah, you can't use this character" restrictions removed. (Well, except in the case of Stephanie Brown. SCREW YOU DIDIO!!)
EDIT: Good lord...I just went back and read some more posts. Goes downhill after 5 and ends as a stinking corpse? I...I feel like you may have been watching an entirely different show. That is around the time of the lull, but to say it continued sinking is clearly untrue.
Well you seem to be in the minority, because both critics and fans everywhere....imdb, message boards etc seem to agree that the series went downhill after seasons 4 and 5 and that the latter seasons were pretty dam awful..
Also many seem to agree that the final season was pretty dam poor aswell.
