I've never seen an episode of Smallville, but I belong in this thread. Oho, yes indeedy I do.
Much of Smallville is filmed in and around Cloverdale, BC, the little town where I went to High School.
Several episodes were filmed at that high school (although it's a different building now). Several episodes featured the heritage building that was the Seniors' Rec Centre where I used to work.
I regret to say that the fact that those buildings featured in my life are not yet recognized by plaques or statues, or anything of that nature although I am sure that recognition is coming!!!
People from here who watch it regularly recognize local farms, etc., the main street is Cloverdale's main street.
And there is a farm that has been used for countless episodes of various TV shows, and it has been in many movies, and a childhood chum owns that farm. Mickey Rooney used to sit at his kitchen table and chat whilst "The Black Stallion" TV series was filmed.
Kewl, eh?
And of course, Vancouver was the X-files. Another program I never watched. Tried it once and gave up, it was all dark and I couldn't see anything.
I used to sit behind Gillian Anderson at the ballet. She always came late and left early. To avoid the autograph hounds, I guess.
