Renewed: Smallville
The CW has renewed Smallville for a 10th season.
10 seasons is quite a feat in television these days, and even better given many presumed it would die after the exit of Michael Rosenbaum.
Insiders confirm there will be a full 22-episode order but there is no word if it will be designed as a final season.
Despite starting out as a series set on the Kansas farm, the show has recently shifted the action to Metropolis as the young Clark graduates into becoming Superman.

So what’s been your summer gem?
The other week a journalist asked me for some quotes on how our TV summer season was faring and I pointed out that historically, the 09 / 10 season has offered an abundance of choice -at least compared to when we had just 5 channels, half of which were stuck on sport.
This year the amount of content has boomed, thanks to our extra digital channels.
But when the article appeared in print, readers hit back saying summer is still a dead zone. I got slammed. Well, it is if you stick with …

Sunday January 3
11pm Gossip Girl S1E16
12am Gossip Girl S1E17
1am Gossip Girl S1E18
This addresses unaired episodes that would have been left hanging in the balance prior to the second season due on GO! on January 7th.
Very late slot, so set your PVRs for this one if you are a GG fan.
Returning: Gossip Girl
Ok admittedly it’s not as good as Pay TV having the third series this week, but GO! is returning Gossip Girl to screens next week.
“The Blair Bitch Project” is the #14th episode of the first series. There were 18 all up.
It’s back on GO! from 10:30pm Thursday December 10th.
Returning: Weeds, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Wire, Fringe
As promised, those shows that have been dumped from GO! are back once non-ratings begin.
This is because Nine is keen to lift its network share in the final days of the ratings year. Probably so it can claim the “Nine Network” won key demographics.
