Smallville is an American television series set in Smallville, Kansas, but produced in Vancouver, Canada. Created by writer/producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series was initially broadcast by The WB. After its fifth season, the WB and UPN merged to form The CW, which is the current broadcaster for the show in the United States. Smallville premiered on October 16, 2001, and concluded its sixth season on May 17, 2007. A seventh season was officially announced by The CW.

The plot follows the adventures of a young Clark Kent as a teenager living in Smallville, Kansas, during the years before he becomes Superman. The first four seasons focused on Clark and his friends' high school years. Since season 5, the show has ventured into more adult settings, with some characters attending college. Recent seasons have also seen an increase in the introductions of other comic book superheroes and villians.

The series has inspired a spin-off pilot episode that was never aired, and promotional tie-ins with Verizon and Sprint. In other media, the show has spawned a series of young-adult novels, a DC Comics comic book and soundtrack releases. The show broke Charmed's record for highest rated debut for The WB, with 8.4 million viewers tuning in for its pilot episode. Viewers will often observe lines of dialogue, guest stars, character wardrobe, musical scores, and scenic design used as allusions to the Superman comic books and films
