What was SmackDown like before Brand Extension?

No It was not like Heat or Superstars or anything. It was not a second rate show. The brand extension made it the "second" show. Smackdown was a second WWE/F show. It was 2 hours long just like Raw. All of the superstars showed up on both Raw and Smackdown. The Championships were the same on both shows. You had the WWF Championship, the I.C. title, Hardocore, Tag Team, and Womens Championship. Smackdown was Raw just on Thursday Nights (It moved to Fridays just a few years ago). I use to be more of a Smackdown fan then a Raw fan untill the Brand Extension. Smackdown became a show thanks to The Rock coining the phrase "Layeth the Smackethdown on ALLLL your candy asses". It later became known as The Rocks Show.
