CW has a new show “The Winchesters”-

a sorta prequel to “Supernatural.”

But we have six young people (seven sometimes) with a mix of young men and women, who travel around in a sort of hippie van, solving supernatural mysteries.

Unlike Scooby, the monsters are not “mean old Mr Hudson” but very real and dangerous.

So far, two episodes in, and we are liking it. But if they bring in an obnoxious Great Dane, we would stop watching. 🙂😉

Don’t worry. Scrappy-Doo was hauled off to prison at the end of the movie.

Supernatural is my favorite show and this show is doing it justice.
