Smallville - The Complete Seventh SeasonSmallville - The Complete Seventh Season
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $18.50
Struggles in the early goings, but heats up towards the end with the "Veritas" angle.
Smallville - The Complete Sixth SeasonSmallville - The Complete Sixth Season
Buy new: $44.49 / Used from: $13.45
Though at times exciting, too much of Clark whining and pining for Lana turn this season into a soap-opera.
Smallville: The Complete Eighth SeasonSmallville: The Complete Eighth Season
Buy new: $44.99 / Used from: $20.25
Lex leaves, replacement Tess actually makes Lois look interesting, and writers reaching way too far down into the Superman cannon (when followed at all) to alienate all but the hard-core comic book fans. Has no competition as the weakest of the bunch despite a few valiant efforts.
