Did the CW television show “Smallville” have the hottest female cast members of all time?
This question was briefly debated in the newsroom today, and it certainly got me thinking. For those who don’t know, “Smallville” was a very popular television show in the early 2000s about Superman as a teenager in the town of Smallville, Kansas.
It was one of the first teen-centered drama shows, but more importantly, it was smoke show central for the cast. I’m not sure, but I’d be willing to bet a lot of money that several shows have since followed their strategy of casting the hottest women who are talented enough to act. Lets take a look at a three different cast members as proof of my theory.

Like I said, “Smallville” was smoke show central for its ten-year run. Of course, I’m opening to debate and examining any other shows who want to be nominated for the title.
