Supernatural Station

Wonderful news! The CW has announced that Supernatural will be renewed for the fall 2009 season. This news was not unexpected as season four's ratings is the highest since season one. The only surprises are the unprecedented early announcement (Feb 24th) and that it occurred before sweeps.

I'm glad that The CW executives recognized that Supernatural deserved to be renewed early. Next, they should increase the budget so that the show can afford to bring back fan favorite characters (JDM!) for an episode or two.

Now that the fifth season is a go, the biggest question on every fan's mind is whether the series is will end with five seasons. Kripke has said more than once that he planned for a 5-season run for the show. The benefit of this planned conclusion is that the show's storyline can be wrapped up neatly and fans can finally learn what is Sam's true destiny and whether the brothers' ultimately survive with their relationship intact. We wouldn't be left “hanging” like on other tv shows that abruptly ended. The drawback is that this wonderfully unique and interesting program will no longer air new episodes after 2010. That's a “hard pill to swallow” for enthusiastic Supernatural fans. I anticipate a fan campaign to persuade Kripke to keep the show going will begin soon, if it hasn't already.
