Clark Kent grew up in Smallville and before he became Superman he was a normal average kid who just happened to discover his hidden talents which were super powers. The DC Comic character we all grew up with, Superman, has been portrayed as a super powerful entity from the planet Krypton who, after landing on earth, grew up in the Midwest as a normal boy and went on to work as a reporter for the Daily Planet. Early Clark Kent is seen as an average in school, very handsome boy who has friends and plays pranks just like every other boy in Kansas. Tom Welling (Cheaper By The Dozen, The Fog) plays Clark Kent at a period in his life where he is just realizing his magical gifts and super powers. Based on the comic book character, Clark is eager to show his adopted parents how useful he can be in a wide variety of ways and this brings about many humorous situations on the show. This TV version of the ever popular comic book series has been extremely successful and highly entertaining.

It is the year 2149 and all life on Earth is about to end! That is the premise of a new science fiction show developed for television with the title of Terra Nova. It seems that, in efforts to save our planet and all human beings inhabiting it scientists must develop a travel portal which allows earthlings to travel some 85 million years backwards in time. This means we must go back to prehistoric times on our planet and find there are large groups of carnivorous and huge dinosaurs roaming about hoping to make us their next meal. Jim Shannon and his wife Elisabeth along with their three children Maddy, Zoe, and Josh are among the 10th "pilgrimage" of settlers who travel to Terra Nova which as become the first human colony set up on the other side of that temporal doorway. And then they discover their neighbors happen to be those nasty dinosaurs. Jason O'Mara (Life on Mars, Marlowe) stars as Jim Shannon and his trauma surgeon wife Elisabeth is portrayed by Shelley Conn (Marchlands, Trial and Retribution). They and their three children are part of a group of new pioneers on planet Earth.

Dubbed a combination of mystery, crime drama, and American fantasy show, Grimm comes to home (not so small) screens on Friday evenings filled with dark twists and turns including some familiar fairy tale characters from the legendary Grimm's Fairy Tales we all grew up listening to or reading. There are familiar "bad guys" such as the Big Bad Wolf and many new ones that can be equally frightening if only to the younger set. Nick Burkhardt (played by David Giuntoli from Nip/Tuck, Veronica Mars) is a descendant from the Grimm line of hunters who is a homicide detective by day and fights supernatural forces on the side. Russell Hornsby (Lincoln Heights, Meet the Parents) is Hank Griffin, Burkhardt's homicide partner, and Juliette Silverton, who is Burkhardt's girlfriend is played by Bitsie Tulloch (Lakeview Terrace, Ring Tone). Eddie Monroe previously was considered to be a Big Bad Wolf but now works with Nick Burkhardt. He is played by Silas Weir Mitchell from Dexter and Monk. Don't confuse Grimm with another show that recently premiered, Once Upon A Time. Grimm will be much darker and have more of an adult theme. Through Burkhardt's eyes we see normal people turn into monsters and no one is safe anymore!

Merlin is about a teenage magician who learns his trade from Magister Gaius. It is his discovery of his abilities that the show centers around and viewers find the idea intriguing to see how he learns how to concentrate his new powers for the sake of good. Plenty of humor along the way keeps this program from becoming a documentary and the likeable characters make for fun television. Special effects are in play to make Merlin's talents appear even more fascinating. Merlin becomes a squire to noble Arthur, the crown prince and has more opportunities to put his magic to work. King Uther Pendragon hates magic and has subsequently outlawed it from his kingdom, but his son Arthur is the one Merlin must worry about and keep his magical capabilities a secret or fear execution. An imprisoned dragon tells Merlin he has a destiny to fulfill and that means staying alive at any cost. Talented young Colin Morgan plays Merlin and Bradley James as Prince Arthur head up an extremely talented cast in the magical world of Camelot.
