( Smallville 10x03: Supergirl )

My parents never got the CW at the old house after the WB died post-S5, and only recently moved to an area that got it. Back in the day we used to all watch as a family (my stepdad would be constantly screaming, "WHAT DOES HE EVEN SEE IN LANA?!?! CHLOE'S STANDING RIGHT THERE!!!!!" at the TV).

My mom's reactions to seeing the show for the first time in years have been hilarious.

MOM: The Talon still EXISTS?!?
ME: lol yes.

MOM: (last week, at the end) OMG I KNOW YOU SAID HE WOULDN'T FLY UNTIL THE END BUT HE'S TOTALLY GOING TO FLY!!!!!
ME: He's not going to fly, Mom.
MOM: (this week) OMG HE'S TOTALLY FLYING!!!!!!!
ME: HE'S NOT GOING TO FLY, MOM.
CLARK: (DOES NOT FLY)
MOM: WHAT A LOSER.

OLLIE: (is onscreen)
MOM: WOW. WOW. THOSE ABS. WOW.
ME: Yeah, you'll be seeing a lot of those if you stick around.

MOM: (re: Nois) I don't even remember her. Was she on the show back when I was watching?
ME: ...yes, Mommy.
MOM: (scrunches up face trying to remember) ... (LIGHTBULB) Oh! Wait! Was she the girl who was talking up how cool the buttons in the Ford Fusion were?
ME: (BRB DYING)
