Why Is Supernatural Such A Good Show?

Why is Supernatural such a good show?? I think I finally have an answer.


1. Eric Kripke :: Supernatural is his dream project. It was his hard work and dedication that got this show going and that keeps it strong. And he listens to what the fans have to say. We don't want Dean/Jo in the show, they don't get together.


2. The Writers :: Eric Kripke, John Shiban, Sera Gamble, Raelle Tucker, Richard Hatem, Terri Hughes, Ron Milbauer, Trey Callaway, Cathryn Humphris
Brad Buckner and Ben Edlund. They write the snark and the chick-flick moments, and the non-chick-flick moments. They've worked on shows such as Firefly, the X-Files, and more.


3. The Directors :: Kim Manners, Robert Singer, Philip Sgriccia, Peter Ellis, David Nutter. The direct everyone to make that every episode is awesome. They've worked on such shows as the X-Files, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., Smallville, Criminal Minds, NCIS, and Dark Angel.


4. The Cast :: How could I answer this question without a piece about the cast. Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. They work WAY too many hours a day so that we can drool at the screen for an hour a week. They both have enormous amounts of talent that makes this show easy to watch, follow, and fall for.


5. The Guest Stars :: Whether we like their characters or not, the guest stars on Supernatural are pretty great. Especially the recurring guest stars like Jeffrey Dean Morgan (John Winchester) and Nicki Aycox (Meg Masters). They add to the show and help to push the plot forward.


6. The Rest of the Crew :: The art people, the lighting people, the sound people, the people that pick the awesome music, the hair and make-up people, the assistant people, anyone I didn't mention before. The people working behind the scenes that aren't as recognized because Supernatural doesn't have an hour after the show for credits.


7. The Props and Sets :: Metallicar and Vancouver. A black '67 Chevy Impala and a city of many different looking areas perfect for shooting a show about two brothers who travel the U.S. in their car.


Looking at all the people behind the show, and the guys in front of the cameras, is it surprising that Supernatural is doing so well? Even against CSI, Grey's Anatomy, and The OC. McDreamy's got nothin' on the McWinchesters.


Rock on Supernatural!!
