For the first 50 minutes of the Lana/vampire episode, all I could think was,
this is really dumb, probably their dumbest.

That deal where Chloe holds up the cross and Lana says something about that
only works on TV was pretty funny, but that was about it.

At least it ended on a good note where Lana talks about the one thing she
remembered.

Sure looks like this will be the last season but it has been a good few
years.

I'm not too sure about that. Smallville has helped give the WB a strong Thursday
night line up. It's demographics are good and is doing better in the ratings
this season. I think it's now the highest rated show on the WB.

If the quality can be maintained, and if all concerned (from the cast
members to the network) want to continue, I'm sure Smallville could go
another year or two. But the series was designed to cover a specific
period (Clark kent's life in Smallville), so logically it must come to an
end before he leaves home and adopts the identity of Superman. It's
entirely possible that someone has plans for a Metropolis-based Superman
TV series, in which case they might prefer a year or two between the end
of Smallville and the beginning of the new series. It's also possible
that the licensing deal that allowed Millar/Gough to produce Smallville
had an end-date that was set in order to avoid potential audience
conflicts with the upcoming Superman movie.

Beyond all that, five years is a pretty long time for the cast and
producers to be tied to a single project. There have been exceptions
(M*A*S*H leaps to mind), but usually they are series that are so
successful that everyone involved gets big salary increases every year
just to keep things going; while Smallville may be one of TheWB's most
successful series, it doesn't command the ratings (or ad revenue) of most
shows on ABC, CBS, Fox or NBC. Gough, Millar and the actors may simply be
ready to move on to other, possibly more lucrative, work; in which case
I'll thank them for the enjoyment they've given me with Smallville and
wish them great success in all their future endeavors.

M*A*S*H is not a good example since only four actors stayed the whole run.

Gunsmoke & Andy Griffith ran long they too has cast changes, Lucy yes.

Face facts however there weren't such high salary demands back then.

e-nigma on long-running TV shows:

<<Friends, Seinfeld>>

"Cheers" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" too, but those are all
half-hour situation comedies--not that comparable to "Smallville," an
hour-long drama.
"NYPD Blue," bare behinds and all (early years anyway), lasted 10
years, but with enormous *turnover* in characters--IIRC only a couple
(Sipowitz and Medavoy) were around for the entire run.

"Smallville" can't really replace its core characters--Clark, Lana,
Lex, now Lois--with different ones, because it has to deal with at
least some preexisting continuity. The relationships between its major
characters can be altered somewhat from the comics/movies/earlier TV
shows portrayals of them, but the characters themselves can't be
replaced the way that a new partner for Sipowitz was *plugged in* on
3-4 occasions on "Blue."

Still, I'm hoping that the show can go to a sixth season--but it's
been a fun run, for the most part, anyway...
