Smallville's shelf-life is quickly coming due given the fact that they are now on season 7. I'm sure central stars Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum are anxious to get onto other things and that their contracts should be up soon.
Anyone think the introduction of Supergirl gives them the potential to extend the series past it's natural life-span? Once Clark finally leaves for the fotress to complete his training or takes off to explore the world before becoming Superman. I'm sure a stripped down cast consisting of Cloe, Jimmy, Lois and Kara would be considerably cheaper to produce. Huge sales of Smallville DVD boxsets in the past few years would probably play into this new model of TV production.
The producers have been trying to replicate the success of Smallville in the past with Birds of Prey and Mercy Reef (the Aquaman pilot).
Do you think folks would rather see Justice League spin out of Smallville instead? Or perhaps Erica Durance in her own solo Lois Lane TV show? It might be intersting to see Lois Lane's early years struggling to get respect as a junior reporter.
