When does Season 5 of Smallville start?

Season 5 will air on Thursdays at 8PM on the WB. It will premiere in September, but I don't think an actual date has been established yet. Probably sometime within the next month.

maybe they should take some lessons from "24" and show the complete season in 24 consecutive episodes, maybe then they wouldn't lose the rating like they did this past season. I dvr'd my shows, but i remember Smallville being shown on different nights and times, with long gaps in between new shows.........it was too much to keep up with.

I'm ready for Season 5, but i hope they do it right this time!

As I recall, all the new episodes were aired Wednesdays at 8.

I actually prefer the WB approach to scheduling over the bigger networks.

LB: And in order to get viewers customed to the day change, the WB (starting this week) has moved the repeat viewings of Season 4 episodes from Wednesday at 8:00 pm to Thursday at 8:00 pm.

I forgot about that. It'll be going up against Alias, The O.C., and Joey which I don't imagine will help with the ratings. The killer's gonna be trying to pick which show to watch and which ones to tape, Tivo, or obtain by other means. Especially given how all of them are coming off of mediocre seasons. It's like picking your poison.

Watch Alias, tivo The OC and obtain by other means Smallville!!! thats what it will be for me.

Yeah, Smallville aired all its new eps this past season at Wednesdays at 8pm. Not exactly hard to keep up with. I think the falling ratings are more due to a kind of less than stellar season coupled with the fact it was on against Lost.

there's a little show called Survivor on then too

I have been wondering which one I am not going to watch since they are all up against each other. I could care less about Joey so that leaves 3. Alias was so so last season but so were Smallville and OC so...
