This show started the concept of Legacy cameos. With Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Terrence Stamp, Lynda Carter, Adrienne Palicki, Helen Slater, Dean Cain, (who were all stars of other iterations of Superman in the DC franchise, or just other DC comic shows first, and then made appearances on Smallville after); the show brings in alumunai and royalty from other shows in the DC franchise and uses them as backup characters to connect with fans and give the show extra resonance. Now shows like Supergirl are following following suit. (Erica Durance took over the role of Alura on Supergirl recently). And in fact "DC LEGACY CAMEOS" is now a term used for any show that brings in cameos from a connecting show or franchise as a result. (Barry Williams making a cameo in Brady Bunch movie; Andrea Mcardle making an appearance in the 1999 DIsney ABC TV movie Annie, Rickie Lake making an appearance in the 2007 musical film version of Hairspray; Kevin Mcarrthy appearing in the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, etc. These little in-joke stunt casting incidences are all being called DC LEGACY CAMEOS now as a jokey reference to DC's tendency to use in-house people for cameo appearances).
