I voted for season 1, but in fairness, I have to confess, I don't have cable or an antenna hooked up right now, so I only get to see TV shows from DVD and I only have season 1 right now.... I saw one episode in March, at a friends house, and it looked good...but Smallville tends to build a lot on what has gone on previously which makes it a little hard to follow if you jump in during the middle of the season.
