"Everyone Put So Much Love Into the Show": 'Smallville's Michael Rosenbaum Shares a New Appreciation for the Series 20 Years Later

In the current streaming landscape, it's become all too common for new seasons of TV shows to feature a mere 10 episodes, and in some cases, as few as six. Back when Smallville was airing in the early aughts, however, television shows with 20-episode seasons were the norm and we kind of took it for granted — but this wasn't just on our end.
