Sneak Peek

It’s not entirely clear what Smallville, one of The CW’s most popular shows, did to deserve this punishment. Nonetheless, it is moving to the network’s currently barren Friday night, which is being rebuilt again since The Game and Everybody Hates Chris were cancelled (the year after WWE was sent away to the now rapidly growing MyNetwork TV). It’s unlikely Smallville will be able to survive past season 9 with this move.

In Smallville’s current time slot, new series Vampire Diaries will air.

Smallville Season 8 Episode 22 Doomsday airs Thursday May 14 at 8/7c on The CW.
