February 15, 2007: Michael Rosenbaum Talks to E! Online

E! Online has posted an interview with Michael Rosenbaum, talking mainly about his directorial debut on "Smallville", but Michael also reveals details on whether the show will go on for more than seven seasons, and if so, whether he'll be a part of it. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

It seems like the show has gotten a second wind in the last year or so, no?

Yes, people say that. There was one year when I thought, This is it, we are going to end the show. And then, all of a sudden, last season just took off and I don't know what happened, but the story became really interesting and they amped everything up. I think we are getting some of the best ratings ever this year, and it's amazing.

Do you feel like one more season is a sure thing?

I think next season will definitely happen. I think we are pretty much the favorite on the CW. Well, one of the favorites - I don't want to piss anyone off.

So, are you in it for the long haul?

Next year will be my last year. I had a great run. I loved it, but that will be it for me.

Really? Is that how the whole cast is feeling?

No, I think other people have longer contracts. I'm not going to say who, but I know that next year�is the last for me. So, it will be very sad when it happens, but all good things must come to an end.
