I keep hoping we get season 16 next year or so. I know it has been discussed, but both guys are on The Boys now. In fact, so is Jim Beaver.
Not me. I mean, yeah, the last season was sort of rushed because it coincided with Covid lockdowns, but that show had an extremely definitive ending. They didn’t really leave anything unfinished. Another season seems superfluous at this point.
They also had a spinoff that was a prequel, of course. It wasn’t nearly as good, to me. It wasn’t the worst show ever, I think they cast it well too, but the biggest problem for me was that they already covered that ground during the show itself (thanks to time travel shenanigans), so it felt more like a retcon than a true prequel and it just didn’t work as a concept. If you’re going to do a spinoff, do something actually new. Like, maybe something involving the Men of Letters.
Just FYI, in case you (as well as other Misha Collins fans here) weren’t aware, Misha Collins hosted a PBS show called Roadfood: Discovering America One Dish at a Time. It was a short lived series at one season, and being a reality food show, obviously completely different than Supernatural, but I caught a couple episodes on our local PBS station (including the local Detroit, MI show) and they were a good watch. Available on PBS.org and the PBS app, according to Google’s AI.
Of course you are probably aware that they tried two backdoor pilots. I didn’t have any interest in the Chicago crime families one, but I would have liked to have seen Wayward Sisters picked up.
Especially since the episode they shoved in there to promote the series was absolutely awful. I am so glad that never happened. The one about Jody and the kids was something I’d have given a chance though.
It was downright embarrassing and probably the worst episode of Supernatural.
Don’t forget “Scoobynatural”!
That’s definitely an example of one of the silly episodes. I think it’s the weakest one, but very enjoyable just the same. They’re all very good.
I enjoyed Season 7 (the Leviathans) quite a bit except for the Egyptian god episode.
Seasons 12-15 are arguably the worst seasons but there are still some bright spots.
My favorite is Mystery Spot, which is Supernatural’s “Groundhog Day” style time loop episode.
It was hilarious. Dean dies every single day and Sam has to try to figure out how to stop that.
I should give this show another try. Big fan of Buffy/Angel. Watched/enjoyed the first couple of seasons - IIRC with my youngest daughter. Remember enjoying many eps - tho not watching as regularly through the next several seasons. Some eps are truly scary. Others hilarious. Some scenes/plotlines I remember to today.
Not sure when/why I fell away. I think I got tired of the Angel arc after a while - tho really enjoyed it when it started. Then it was just, “Is that show STILL on?!”
Every time I hear “Heat of the Moment” on the radio or anything, I want to yell, “Rise and shine, Sammy-boy!”
Also, even though it wasn’t one of the truly silly episodes, “Yellow Fever” is still one of the funniest. When Dean screams as the cat scares him then turns to Sam and says, “That was scary!” Too good.
And there’s an outtake/blooper where Jensen Ackles is lip-synching to “Eye of the Tiger” for an extended period, when Dean was trying to psyche himself up. That’s from that episode. I’m sure I can find a clip.
Here it is:
For a while I house-sat during the day for a mentally disabled adult cousin. It was low demand, basically just preparing meals and being there. But he demanded consistency and television, and there was a cable channel that played Supernatural 4 or 5 times in a row every day, which he had to watch every day, so around a season a week. It would run through the first maybe 12 seasons and then start again. Thanks to that I’ve probably spent more time watching (or at least in the presence of) Supernatural than any other TV series.
Also, no mention of Wishful Thinking for funny episodes?
Funny - Eye of the Tiger and the suicidal teddy bear were the 2 funny moments that immediately came to mind.
Teddy: “Why am I here?”
Little girl: “For tea parties!”
Teddy: “Is that all there is???”
Is that the one with the suicidal Teddy Bear? And the “KNEEL BEFORE TODD” moment? That one slipped my mind it but it was glorious.
Yes, and the lines:
Sam: “…are going…to have to kill that big bear?”
Dean: “How? Shoot it? Burn it?”
Sam: “I don’t know…maybe both!”
As said above, Castiel makes all the difference. I also want some love for Ruth Connell. When she played Rowena, all the scenes with her were good.
