Smallville flies off with a two-hour series finale

On Friday, April 8 (8/7c), you can relive the very first hour of Smallville, which originally aired on October 16, 2001, on The WB.

The episode features the crash-landing of Kal-El in Smallville, before jumping ahead 12 years to a teenaged Clark Kent (Tom Welling) saving a reckless Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) in a car accident, kicking off their iconic friendship-turned-rivalry-to-be.

Coming full circle, Rosenbaum is set to reprise the role of Lex in the series finale, airing Friday, May 13.

Michael Rosenbaum returning to Smallville for series finale

After the pilot, Supernaturalwill air a repeat, but both shows will return with new episodes the following week.
