As usual, I'm late to the party...

I have finally discovered the tv show Supernatural. After watching all four seasons in the last month and a half, I have come to the conclusion that it totally kicks ass.

The network that Supernatural airs on here really hasn't done the show any favors. It seems like they barely promote it, and they put it in the same time slot against Goliath shows like Lost and Heroes (both of which are totally inferior). I'm totally shocked that it hasn't been canceled yet although it's ratings, when you take into consideration the smallish network it runs on, are pretty decent actually, which is why they're talking about possibly doing a sixth season.

I like the show for much of the same reasons as you stated, it's a show about people, before it's about the various fantasy creatures, which is the same reason I got so utterly hooked by Battlestar Galactica.

Absolutely. And I'll commit even more nerd blasphemy and say that I like Supernatural better because they've maintained the quality of their show far better than BSG did in it's fourth season (which totally imploded). It seems that most shows start out with a bang and by season four start drifting and losing focus. It's kind of amazing how this show gets better and better as it goes on. I really hope that they can maintain the quality of the show this season.

I was really surprised to see it was still running when I looked it up on IMDB. Don't get me wrong, I liked the show but it just seemed like a total longshot that a studio would keep it running, given that a fair bunch of viewers don't know good TV from a doormat *ahem* 'scuse me.

As for BSG, I liked Season 4, but obviously they were tied down by the fact that they *had* to wrap everything up, which did dictate how the story went. But there were really great stories, still - the mutiny arc blew my mind. So you won't be getting hit with any Holy Handgrenades on my account ;P
