Smallville: The Complete Series Now Available In HD Via iTunes

Smallville is getting ready to kick off the tenth and final season, an amazing statement, and you can now get the entire series in HD at iTunes.

Because I don't download movies and TV shows from iTunes all that often, I took the opportunity to try out a few episodes of the show in HD. From earlier in the series, up to the season nine finale, they were a treat. When I do go back to iTunes download (largely when I have a flight upcoming), I'm never disappointed, and always kick myself for not taking advantage more often.

I know that a lot of iTunes downloaders are using their iPhones, which doesn't lend itself to HD value, but you can certainly appreciate the difference on any other screen. I was actually surprised at the effect of even some of the earlier episodes. Frankly, most shows don't do much for me in HD. Sure, they look better, but an average show doesn't really do anything (in my opinion) that makes use of the clearest possible picture.

I don't think Smallville fans will be disappointed though, and the show actually plays around in ways that make you glad for the HD.

It's definitely worth taking a look at, and I recommend heading over to the Smallville page and at least trying out a few episodes. If you need to catch up before the new season gets underway, this is a great opportunity to do so.

Entering its explosive tenth season, Smallville culminates in the epic rise of the world's ultimate hero -- Superman. Finally working alongside the intrepid Lois Lane at the Daily Planet, Clark Kent had accepted his destiny as the guardian of Metropolis when General Zod arrived, challenging Clark's authority and power.

Just when the romance between Clark and Lois began to bloom, Clark was called into duty by the legendary Justice Society and his own burgeoning league of heroes to fight the gathering dark forces. As season nine drew to a close, Clark sacrificed himself to save the world from Zod. Season ten promises the classic reuniting of the timeless romance between Clark and Lois, and brings Clark face to face with his destiny as he overcomes his final trials and forges the iconic identity that will be known for all time.

The series stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent, Erica Durance as Lois Lane, Justin Hartley as Oliver Queen and Cassidy Freeman as Tess Mercer. SMALLVILLE was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar ("Shanghai Noon," "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor"), based on the DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson serve as executive producers, along with James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins, Joe Davola and Tom Welling. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
