Supernatural Represented! Jared and Jensen Slated To Attend CW Upfronts
Here’s some very exciting news from Twitter, coming from Suzanne Gomez, the publicist for The CW.
@Chico6: “@LoliSera: Will Supernatural be represented at the Upfronts? Yes, Jared and Jensen are both going.
When was the last time Jared and Jensen were at the CW upfronts? Actually, the ONLY time was the very first one back when “Supernatural” was celebrating an upcoming season 2. All actors from all the shows went to that one since it was the network launch. Fans have noticed throughout the years during the Dawn Ostroff era that while stars of “Gossip Girl,” “90210,” and “The Vampire Diaries” (among others) were regularly present, “Supernatural” received barely a mention, let alone an actor from the show attending. Actually, I do believe Misha Collins attended last year, but that’s been it.
For fun, here’s a picture of that one CW upfront party. You’ll notice someone else who spent a lot of time at those upfronts with Jared and Jensen (they were on stage together). One Mr. Tom Welling.
I wonder Jared and Jensen copied the growing the beard tradition during break from their “Smallville” bud. Yes, that’s the kid from “Everybody Hates Chris.”
I’m loving this new Mark Pedowitz era. I hope there are plenty of pictures! I’m so happy for our show.
Updated: Oops, I didn’t say when or where the upfronts were! They are Thursday, May 17th at 10:30 am ET at New York City Center.
Alice Jester is the founder, editor-in-chief, head writer, programmer, web designer, site administrator, marketer, and moderator for The Winchester Family Business. She is a 30 year IT applications and database expert with a penchant for creative and freelance writing in her spare (ha!!) time. That’s on top of being a wife, mother of two active kids, and four loving (aka needy) pets.
I’m loving this new Mark Pedowitz era too! Man, it’s a shame we didn’t have him as prez all along.
So when you say season 2, does that mean the upfronts for season 2, when they were still under the WB prez, meaning Ostroff didn’t even invite them once?
Hey Mickey,
They went when the CW and WB merged which was before season 2 but they didn’t go back after that.
I think that was because of Dawn, I am not sure if it was because they weren’t invited, or they just didn’t want to be around her, cause she didn’t like the show.
Hell, I think the only time Smallville got represented was when the girls went, I don’t think the guys went at all. (I could be wrong on that, cause Justin Hartley might have went once)
Anyhow this is really good news, I am hoping Mark realizes the show is too strong to be on Friday night and maybe he will move it. Wouldn’t it be kick ass to have Thursday Nights back to the old Smallville/SPN
Meaning
Arrow/SPN on Thursday Night 🙂
(doubt that will happen, just wishful thinking)
Count me in as loving Mark Pedowitz, too. He’s been doing right by our favorite show, and that makes me happy for the 2Js. They’ve never let the fans down and they deserve backing from their network. So…yea, Mark and many thanks.
Count me in with the Mark Pedowitz love! Jensen and Jared give so much, work so hard and are so devoted to both their acting and their fans, they have earned the recognition. It must feel strange but good to finally be appreciated like they’ve deserved to be for the past seven years.
I hope we get lots of pictures and much praise from the man himself. The fans fought long and hard for Supernatural to get some network support, I’m so happy we finally have a president who gets the show and supports it as enthusiastically as we do.
B.J.
Just color me not knowing what the heck the “upfronts” are? And why are they important? And will there be pictures/you tube info/ stuff like that?
When will a picture of Jared and Genevieve’s baby appear?
Tell me all the info I do not know——
I think the show that won every online pole & award deserve more attention
you see many show`s actors in every night shows & ceremonies but J2 always put their first priority to the show & fans
so now it`s a gap between seasons so they deserved to more attention.
we 2:)
Definitely a win for Mark Pedowitz. He always said he was a fan, and it shows. Since he’s been in charge, SPN has been promoted a heck of alot more than before. I’ll be looking forward to the pics from the up-fronts. By the way, I miss Tom Welling’s beautiful fac on tv. I hope he gets another show soon.
This is going to sound a tad random, but you know what I love about Mark Pedowitz, apart from his obvious love of our show? He wears jeans to functions. That is so very TV. In an era where TV tends to be run by bankers and not creatives, his creative producer background shines through in his jeans wearing! The first time I saw photos of him at a function with a bunch of suits and there he was wearing jeans I thought YES! He looked totally TV. Beyond being a fan, he comes from a background of understanding how a show comes together, that in itself can only be good. His jeans makes my TV producing heart happy. I told you it was random!
Thanks For the Info Alice but have no idea what the Upfront event means..And i am not much aware who is who so guessing by the article Mark Pedowitz is head of CW and happens to be SPN fan..if that does not sounds gr8 to me then i must be insane..
Coming to Upfront? the above pic is just after S1?? OMGGGGGGGGGGGG JP and JA the J2 loveliest and hansomest buoys on earth i can spare but wonder how much both have changed, i mean they are looking damn young but ofcourse they were..BTW JP hairs..ummmm
While JA is looking as Dean calls i am AdorOble /Adorable, JP is looking what Betty said so firm..wow
I want Sam to look Sammy again atleast..dont know if brothers will ever get the same as before but whats harm in getting the old look back…
I’m hearing something very awesome! There’s a possible reason why Jared and Jensen will be there. Because it looks like Supernatural is going to be paired with the new DC show Arrow on the schedule. They really want to hype this during the upfronts. It’s still rumor right now, so I’m putting it here as a comment.
I haven’t heard what night yet, but it sounds like Fridays. I also haven’t heard what times each show will air. If I get more info, I’ll be sure to share.
Wow that’s exciting! It makes absolute sense for the network to use their strongest shows to launch their new content. Also, Supernatural paired with a superhero show? Ahhh feels like old times!
If Supernatural gets paired with Arrow, then that means either Nikita is moving to another day/time or Supernatural is moving to another day/time. What do you think?
Actually SPN is moving to Wednesday night and pairing with Arrow. Don´t know if that´s good for the show or not. On Friday night noone expect high ratings in viewer. But on Wednesnight they have to improve the rating. Hope they make that.
