CW Boss Shows More Supernatural Love at TCAs.
Today is CW day at the TCA press tour, and CW President Mark Pedowitz had a lot to say as usual. I love how this guy delivers vision!
The topic of "Supernatural" was bound to come up, right? There were hints of future plans for the show and a minimum number of episodes was given finally for Misha Collins. Here's the report from TV Line's Vlada Gelman (no spoilers, unless you don't want to know how many episodes for Castiel):

Have no doubt: The CW president Mark Pedowitz hearts "Supernaturals" Sam and Dean.
Speaking at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Beverly Hills on Monday morning, Pedowitz put his support behind the Winchester boys, saying “there was no question” about the Season 8 renewal — and even hinted at a possible ninth (!) season.
“The guys are great,” he continued. “The show is great. We’re big believers in the show.”
Pedowitz revealed that Misha Collins’ heavenly angel Castiel will be in a “minimum of eight” Season 8 episodes — but what about the demon-hunting brothers he pals around with and their prospects beyond the upcoming run? The CW boss expressed his desire to keep the series going for a long, long time. When asked whether there have already been talks about securing stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki beyond next season, Pedowitz told reporters, “There’s always conversations that happen. I am a big Supernatural fan.”
In fact, he added, “I hope it stays on as long as I’m still here.”
Let's hope Mr. Pedowitz is around for a long time! Only a little over two months to go until season 8!

I’m glad we are finally getting some love and respect from the network.
Can I just say that it is official. I’m in love with this guy. Finally someone in charge of the network that’s also a fan of SPN.
I love this guy!! Finally! A CW Pres who appreciates Supernatural!
Long may he reign!!
