	Smallville (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series is loosely based on the comic book mythos of the superhero Superman - more specifically, the character's origins - with a teenage Clark Kent growing to manhood in his hometown of Smallville (which is based in Kansas), and slowly learning to cope with his developing powers, his alien heritage, and his eventual destiny.
		The series often features allusions (sometimes presented in the form of in-jokes) to Clark's future destiny as Superman (e.g., Clark's tendency to dress in blue t-shirts or red shirts, the same colour scheme as the familiar Superman costume).
		Clark's powers were once transferred to someone else when the two were struck by lightning while near Green Kryptonite, but eventually, another electrical jolt transferred the powers back to Clark.

	AAW: Vampire Princess Miyu TV Series Review
		Vampire Princess Miyu is a shoujo series at its heart, which means that the focus of the stories are as much on the emotional interaction of the characters as on blood, gore, and battles, though none of those are lacking.
		Compared to your average monster-fighting TV series Miyu was something very different, but compared to the OAV version it was almost embarrassingly traditional, and too many of the battles just seemed to be there because the standard episode progression required it.
		The TV version is a little older, and though she shares some of the same quiet confidence, tends to be quite reserved, contrasted with her more childish and lively classmates.

		Jordan Miller is William Powers' efficient chief administrative assistant, au fait with the palm-greasing necessary to proceed in the capital.
		Bradley Grist is William Powers' press secretary and Charlotte is the Powers' housemaid, scared of Margaret's patronising put-downs and power games but possessing a crush on (of all people) the wimpish Theodore.
		Well-mannered, and distinguished by appearance, Bill Powers suggested an older version of Bill Clinton (whose name was often voiced in the series although he was, of course, never seen).

	BBC - h2g2 - The Champions- The TV Series
		The series was the brainchild of Dennis Spooner and Monty Berman, both veterans of the cult action/adventure genre, but this would be the first time they created a series together.
		Throughout the course of the series, one never feels that the true limit of The Champions' powers have been shown, but we do know that they are tremendously strong, they can bend steel with their bare hands
		Anthony Nicholls was already a veteran of TV by the time of The Champions- he made his TV debut in 1937, and was an accomplished stage actor.

	The Prisoner- Dan Schneider Reveals Who No. 6 Really Was On The Classic TV Series
		Devotees of the psychological thesis- that somehow the whole series is a struggle within 6’s psyche- point to this as a key fact in their favor.
		In fact, if this whole series is the internal machinations of 6’s consciousness then the 2s are parts of 6, and their mutability reflects the internal whims of 6, himself.
		A series of scenes from 6’s life are play-acted out (including the revelation of 6’s ‘true’ identity!) but, in the end, 6 emerges victorious, 2 is ‘killed’, and the bald bespectacled Supervisor (after 6, and the Butler the most ‘regular’ character in the series) promises to take 6 to 1.

	Reader Review: Inuyasha TV Series
		It turns out that she's the reincarnation of a powerful priestess named Kikyo, who was the keeper of a jewel called the Shikon Jewel that could give great power to whoever held it.
		Her powers are also utterly useless; she carries a bow and arrow, but can't use them very well, and she often ends up being carried off slung over the shoulder of one of the bad guys.
		This is possibly the coolest power in the entire anime, rendered in impressive computer-generated animation.

		He belongs on TV, and we can only hope he has found a vehicle that will keep him there.

		With the introduction of Cyborg to the TV, the stories seemed to improve both in characterization and plot.
		For Batman, it became less about the utility belts and more about the man. For Wonder Woman, she finally got to flex her muscles (I think she did last season, too.).
		Why they let this series end after one season is beyond me. I truly loved this show and I'm glad Cartoon Network has been rerunning them, even if they are on the thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

		The series was one of the first of a number of "midnight anime" (other examples included Haunted Junction) broadcast in late-night timeslots for a slightly more adult audience than the typical early evening anime series.
		For reasons which remain unclear, the series was only carried by one major TV station (TV Tokyo), so relatively few Japanese fans actually got to see it.
		The series has all the ingredients for success in the West, and an English-language release is long overdue.
