Smallville

The CW Network, Warner Bros. Television Group and Stride Gum are teaming up to offer fans the unique opportunity to create their own SMALLVILLE adventure in the form of a new digital comic book based on the hit TV series (airing Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET on The CW).

The writers and producers of SMALLVILLE have developed the beginning and the end of an all-new comic book adventure and will leave it to fans to determine the direction of all of the action in between. This innovative online promotion kicks off on Thursday, March 13, in conjunction with that night’s episode of SMALLVILLE. Both the episode and the comic book storyline revolve around the return of Pete Ross (played in the series by original SMALLVILLE cast member Sam Jones III), who has garnered incredible “elastic” super powers after chewing special, kryptonite-infused Stride Gum.

Fans can go to cwtv.com and read the opening pages of this new comic book adventure. They’ll then be presented with two options (four pages each) which take the comic book in two different directions, and they can vote on the direction in which they want the story to go. Every following Tuesday and Thursday on cwtv.com, viewers can find two new sets of comic book pages and vote on which way they want the story to progress. The promotion runs through April 7, and each scene developed will become part of a digital comic book produced by DC Comics.

Each vote enters fans into a national sweepstakes for the opportunity to win the Grand Prize of a VIP weekend at a national comic book convention plus a year’s supply of Stride gum. Additionally, 50 fans will each win the complete season six DVD set of SMALLVILLE, plus 12 packs of Stride gum.

FARMER WANTS A WIFE, the international reality series sensation from FremantleMedia North America, makes its U.S. debut on Wednesday, April 30 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET), following The CW’s hit series AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL. This new comedic reality series is designed to help one farm boy find the city girl of his dreams.

FARMER WANTS A WIFE has already established itself as a smash hit in numerous countries across Europe, ranking #1 in its timeslot in The Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, Germany and Australia.

The show brings ten city women to one charming, hard-working farmer who is happy with his life except for one thing – he’s lacking romance and wondering if he might find happiness and excitement with a woman from the city. Through a series of challenges, group activities, shocking eliminations and cozy dates, the uptown women will soon see how they match up with a down-home guy on the path to true love.

FARMER WANTS A WIFE is produced by FremantleMedia North America. Super Delicious partners Adam Cohen, Cara Tapper and Joanna Vernetti are executive producers. The show is based on the format “Farmer Wants a Wife,” from an idea in the British edition of Country Living magazine, in collaboration with FremantleMedia.
