    Re: Credit check

    What's always been most frustrating to me is when the show doesn't deliver on a great credits sequence. I watched "Smallville" for about three years just because the opening promised the kind of show I wanted to see -- some kind of archetypal small town teen soap with great music mixed with superhero fantasy -- but the next 58 minutes almost never delivered and seemed like filler until the next week's credits.
