Jordan Levin, presiden divisientertaimen The WB, menangkap kritik mengenai hal ini. Levis mengumumkan bahwa di season dua akan terlihat “ cerita mini sebanyak tiga atau empat episode, untuk keluar dari formula struktur gaya cerita yang kami dimasukkan ke dalamnya..Kami tidak mau menjadi pertunjukkan bersambung.” Smallville season pertama masuk dalam urutan keenam daftar Parent Television Council’s untuk pertunjukkan terbaik untuk keluarga.

Reception

Smallville’s first accomplishment was breaking the record for highest rated debut for The WB, with 8.4 million viewers tuning in for its pilot.^[4] A common criticism for the first season was the use of "villain of the week" storylines. By the time the first seven episodes aired, at least one journalist had had enough; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Rob Owen stated, "Smallville flies high with super character interaction and a nice performance by John Schneider as Pa Kent, but the series needs better plots than the "monster of the week" stories seen so far."^[84] Jordan Levin, president of The WB’s Entertainment division, recognized the concerns that the show had become a villain-of-the-week series. Levin announced that season two would see more "smaller mini-arcs over three to four episodes, to get away from some of the formulaic storytelling structure we were getting ourselves boxed into... We don’t want to turn it into a serialized show."^[85] Smallville’s first season placed sixth on the Parents Television Council’s list of the "best shows for families".^[86]

On January 24, 2006, it was confirmed Smallville would be part of the new The CW’s Fall 2006-2007 lineup once The WB and UPN ceased separate operations and merged as The CW in September 2006.^[1]
