Trivia: Peyton List voices Batgirl. Peyton List also voices Poison Ivy. This is not the same person getting credited twice. It's two different people. Normally the SAG doesn't allow two living members to have the same name, but they accidentally missed the younger Peyton List (Batgirl). The SAG should have made the younger List use a middle initial or stage name. Incidentally, the younger List got her start in an uncredited role in an episode of "As the World Turns" which also featured the older List.

Pilot - S1-E1

Trivia: When Clark is on the computer, there's an article about a teen becoming the fastest man alive, normally a title for the Flash. The article names the teen Scott Higgs though, who isn't the Flash. The article says he ran the 100-m dash in 2.4 seconds, which is about 93 miles per hour. In the article it said the old record was 8.5 seconds. In real life, the record in 2001 was 9.79 seconds, so it seems the Smallville universe has several fast metahumans.

Trivia: Justin Hartley, who plays Oliver Queen and joined the show in 2006, also starred in the unaired pilot of "Aquaman" (2006) as Arthur Curry. "Aquaman" was created by "Smallville" creators Gough and Millar. They didn't want "Aquaman" to be a spin-off "Smallville" so they didn't use Alan Ritchson, who had already played Arthur Curry in "Smallville." The show was scheduled to air on The WB, but when The WB and UPN were shut down, The CW was formed. The CW opted not to pick up the series.

Trivia: Additional references to the show "The Dukes of Hazzard"; Senator Jennings (Tom Wopat) drives a '68 Dodge Charger, similar to the '69 Charger in DoH. Jennings mentions Jonathan outrunning cops when he was younger by driving through Chickasaw County, a fictional county in DoH the Dukes often weren't allowed to enter because of their probation, and were sometimes chased by the sheriff. And Jack Jennings' name is a nod to Waylon Jennings, who wrote the DoH theme song and was the Balladeer.
