Hey to my fellow Smallville fans!

Did everyone hear the latest casting news? It's something that I've been waiting to happen for a while. DUKES OF HAZZARD REUNION!! That's right, Tom Wopat will be guest starring in an upcoming episode. As for his role, I'll follow the rule of thumb that was recently posted here and post it over on the spoiler board.

Also for any Canadian fans out there, I started a Canadian Thread. Please post on it so it doesn't get taken down. Thanks!

P.S. I know for a fact that James Marsten is going to be on Smallville for at least one episode. This isn't really a spoiler per say, because no one knows (unless they've read spoilers) who/what role he's playing. Obviously it's not going to be a Vampire. Lol!

I've been finding out all of this information @ TV.com and I would post the character roles at the spoiler board but at the moment I can't access TV.com due to some "cookie" problem. I'll see if I can get it from some other sites and post it. If not, then someone else will have to.

-Ratings Breakdown:
Although CBS, as usual, remains the network to beat on Thursday, the story worth telling last night was on the WB, courtesy of the relocated Smallville. Veteran Smallville opened season five with an impressive 4.4/ 7 in the overnights (#4), 5.74 million viewers (#5) and a 2.6/ 7 among adults 18-49 (#4) at 8 p.m., beating the season-premiere of ABC’s relocated Alias by 8 percent in the demo (see below). Comparably, that was the best metered market rating for the WB in the Thursday 8 p.m. hour since the one-hour launch of sitcom Family Affair on Sept. 12, 2002. Versus two episodes (original and repeat) of former occupant Blue Collar TV on the year-ago evening (Overnights: #5, 3.0/ 4; Viewers: #6, 3.11 million; A18-49: #6, 1.3/ 4 on Sept. 30, 2004), that was an increase of a considerable 47 percent in the overnights, 2.63 million viewers and 100 percent among adults 18-49.

Go Smallville!

If this is an indicator to what lies ahead then it's going to rock. It can only get better as it progresses.
