• Infobox: Add "running time" to the infobox, it is not N/A
• Lede: of the WB original series Smallville. → of the science fiction fantasy drama Smallville.

  I originally had this, but then an editor (who has worked on more Smallville articles than I) removed it, so I won't fight it.--Gen. Quon (talk) 14:23, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

  I put in "superhero television series, because it is the most encompassing, but I think that 1 genre is the max when it comes to writing a sentence describing a show. The infobox for the series as a whole can list the other subgenres for a reader.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:32, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

On hold. Good work. Tate Brandley Stockwell 03:56, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I believe I've addressed all the concerns. Thank you for the review.--Gen. Quon (talk) 13:54, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I removed the genre selection from the lead. The show has too many genre classifications to be putting that in an episode lead. It's not like we're talking a straight "drama", or "science fiction", or "action", or whatever here. The main page does not even identify genres in the lead, but leaves it to the infobox, because it looks unprofessional to rattle off multiple qualifiers in a single sentence like that.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:17, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree, and, like I said, you're more knowledgeable than I on this matter.--Gen. Quon (talk) 14:29, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I have made some final minor tweaks, and then this article is ready to be promoted. Yeah! Tate Brandley Stockwell 15:27, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I have removed YTV link completed it doesn't link to the episode, it is to the series. Tate Brandley Stockwell 15:27, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
