Two decades after its groundbreaking debut which ushered in a whole new era of DC television, Smallville turns 20 this year, and to celebrate the momentous occasion, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has finally released all ten seasons of the beloved series on Blu-ray in one epic Smallville: The Complete Series 20th Anniversary Edition box set.
While the entire series was previously only available in HD on digital platforms, the anniversary edition collector's box set is the first time ever the first five seasons of the show have been released on Blu-ray. This is something fans have been clamoring for since the show went off the air ten years ago, so it should be welcomed with open arms.
In addition to all 217 episodes, the set will also include over 28 hours of bonus features from all ten seasons, audio commentaries, deleted and extended scenes, gag reels, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and everything else that was previously released on the individual season sets.
Similar to the Supernatural: The Complete Series release, the packaging is quite compact, using ten Blu-ray cases to house the individual season discs and an extra case to hold all of the bonus discs. The new set is a considerable departure from the previous Complete Series DVD set and will take up a lot less space on your shelf, while looking pretty damn good from both the front and side views, which sport unique cover art featuring Clark Kent and his Superman suit.
Along with the physical discs, the box set also includes a one-time use only Digital HD code (redeemable on Vudu) for the complete series, allowing fans to take each one of Clark's adventures with them on the go.
Smallville will forever hold a special place in my heart. It's the show I grew up watching between the ages of 10 and 19 when finishing up my freshman year in college. Clark Kent's story of being an outsider and doing his best to find his purpose in the world, while remaining a fundamentally good person and staying true to himself, really resonated with a similarly uncertain Indian kid living in North Carolina trying to do the same.
It wasn't perfect by any means, but it was a genuine show made with so much heart, humor, and passion that there was rarely anything I wanted to do more than tune in for the latest chapter in Clark Kent's journey every week, watching him as he worked his way toward becoming the Man of Steel we know and love... and hoping that maybe, one day, I could do it too.
Smallville: The Complete Series 20th Anniversary Edition is the ultimate celebration of this beloved DC series and one release that absolutely can't be missed!
