I only have Smallvile and What I like about you left until I have no more shows to write about sad . I guess i'll just have to find some other things to write about in my journal. If you have any ideas just make a comment.
Smallvile:
Before the legend...before the icon...there was a teenager named Clark Kent (Tom Welling, Cheaper by the Dozen.) Between the boy he thought he was and the man he is destined to become are the stories of Smallville. Someday, he'll master his powers and understand his true calling. Now beginning its fourth season on The WB, this new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series.
Fourteen years ago, a meteor shower burst from the heavens, raining destruction on the unsuspecting citizens of Smallville, Kansas. The intervening years have left the town's inhabitants with scars and secrets. From the ashes of tragedy, Clark Kent has grown into an awkward teen. While adolescence always brings its challenges, Clark's transition from boyhood to manhood has been particularly difficult. He has struggled to come to grips with his emerging superpowers - and the effects of various forms of kryptonite - while battling the strange things that have plagued this idyllic Midwest hamlet since the meteor shower.
In last season's finale, Clark was enticed by a Kryptonian girl, Kara, who had been sent to bring him home. After being pulled violently into the cave wall, Clark was trapped in a phantom zone. As Season Four begins, Clark seems to have resurfaced in Smallville, but is it really Clark or his alter ego, the emotionless Kryptonian Kal-El? Breaking the show's long-standing rule, "No Flights, No Tights," Clark/Kal-El will soar up into the sky for the very first time. Continuing the tradition of introducing well-known characters from the Superman mythology, Clark will also encounter the speedster known as The Flash and answer the longtime question who is the fastest teen alive.
Clark's world is turned upside-down as another landmark moment happens this season: The introduction of Lois Lane (sparkling newcomer Erica Durance). Expect the unexpected, when Lois' quick wit and dazzling beauty catch Clark totally off-guard. While someday Lois and Clark will be the perfect match - as teenagers, they are oil and water, much in the same way Smallville has successfully surprised everyone by making Lex and Clark - future arch-enemies - the best of friends. Clark and Lois are forced to work together as they seek out the true fate of Lois' cousin Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack, 7th Heaven), who died tragically in last season's startling season finale.
The guardians of Clark's secret identity have always been his adoptive parents, Jonathan (John Schneider, The Dukes of Hazzard, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) and Martha Kent (Annette O'Toole, Superman III, 48 Hrs.). In the aftermath of the meteor shower, they discovered his crashed spacecraft in a cornfield and took him in as their own. Last season, Jonathan put his life on the line for his deal with Clark's real father, Jor-El, and now has to pay the consequences.
Jonathan will also struggle with the idea that Clark is becoming more independent every day and no longer needs him the way he used to. For Martha, the months of uncertainty with Jonathan in the hospital and Clark trapped in the phantom zone, only served to strengthen her character. While Jonathan has the farm and Clark is busy with high school, Martha will look for a passion of her own.
Last season, the knowledge that his life is out of control forced Clark to keep the girl he loves, Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk, Snow White), at arm's length. Lana finally escaped to Paris, where she met a handsome stranger named Jason Teague (Jensen Ackles, Dawson's Creek, Dark Angel) and soon fell in love. However, mysterious events draw her back to Smallville, and she arrives in her hometown with a newfound confidence and a sophisticated new look. Unable to be separated from Lana, Jason follows her from Paris to Smallville. When he takes a job as assistant coach of the football team, Jason and Lana will have to keep their relationship a secret from everyone - and, in particular, Clark.
Over the years, Clark has forged a remarkable relationship with Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum, Sweet November, Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane), though neither has an inkling of how their destinies will ultimately collide. Last season, Lex came to believe he was poisoned and left for dead by this father, Lionel Luthor (John Glover, Batman and Robin). Lex used all his power to put his father behind bars, and now he is determined to make sure that his father suffers and rots in prison while he takes over as head of LuthorCorp. Despite Clark's current distrust in him, Lex is eager to make amends and regain Clark's friendship. Even so, Lex is steadily continuing on the path from good to evil.
By now, Lionel has come to share Lex's obsession with Clark Kent and both father and son will carry on their relentless pursuit to discover the truth about Clark. Lionel will do whatever it takes to get out of prison and exact revenge on those who put him there, especially his own son. Lionel's vast power makes it possible for him to operate from the inside until he is released.
Reinterpreting the Superman mythology from its roots, Smallville was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (Shanghai Noon, Spiderman 2), based on the DC Comics characters. Gough and Millar serve as executive producers, along with Greg Beeman, Ken Horton, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television, Tollin/Robbins Productions and Millar/Gough Ink. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.
What I like about you:
With her unique gift for comedy, Amanda Bynes (The Amanda Show) continues her big-screen success in the films What a Girl Wants and Big Fat Liar by teaming up with Jennie Garth (Beverly Hills, 90210) in this comedy about two young women who push their sisterly relationship to the limits by becoming roommates. The show now returns for its third season on The WB.
When their dad took a job in Japan, teenage livewire Holly Tyler (Bynes) and her straitlaced twentysomething sister, Valerie (Garth), moved in together in New York City. Just when Val thought she had the perfect existence - a promising career in public relations, her own Upper West Side apartment and plenty of eligible men to date - everything in her neatly regimented life started to unravel the minute Holly stumbled through the door. Their new life together took a lot of getting used to, but Val and Holly's relationship is stronger than ever.
Last season, though Holly had a boyfriend, Henry (Michael McMillian), she developed a crush on another guy, Vince (Nick Zano, MTV's Movie House), the handsome, slightly older man who works as a bike messenger. At the end of season two, Holly was torn between Henry and Vince. Luckily, her summer internship in Paris came through, allowing Holly to leave both guys and all her confusion in the dust - at least for the summer.
This season, Holly returns from her summer adventure with the kind of boyfriend every 18-year-old girl dreams of - a hot European rock star named Ben (guest star David De Lautour). The two met in London and, although Holly was not looking to fall for anyone, she fell hard enough for Ben to bring him home with her, much to the dismay of a totally shocked Henry and Vince, who have been waiting patiently for Holly's return. Holly's pal Tina (Allison Munn, That 70s Show) has also been waiting for her friend to come home, and Tina has absolutely no problem with the addition of Ben.
Despite the distraction of having rock star boyfriend hanging around, Holly is excited to be starting college, especially since she and Gary (Wesley Jonathan, City Guys) will both be going to NYU. Gary, who is now sharing an apartment with Vince, will also find a new romance this season when he meets a beautiful young dancer.
Val faces the most romantic development of all when she and Rick (guest star Ed Kerr) become engaged. Val's public relations business is still struggling, but she couldn't be happier now that she and her employee, Lauren (Leslie Grossman, Popular), have a wedding to plan. Lauren has truly become part of the family, and Holly thinks of her as a second older sister.
Everyone in this new modern family is growing and changing as their lives unfold. The one constant is the sisters' affection and concern for each other's happiness, as they are always there for each other.
Caryn Lucas (The Nanny, Miss Congeniality) serves as executive producer, along with Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins, and Joe Davola for Tollin/Robbins Productions and Warner Bros. Television Inc.
