Look! Rare Love From The CW

When I first checked the preliminary numbers on tvbythenumbers for last night’s episode of Supernatural, “The Monster At The End Of This Book,” (which was awesome BTW), I was pleased with the overall rating of 3.28 million.  After all that was way above last year’s April average.  If you recall, this time last year the show was still on strike hiatus.  Then I saw the demo numbers.  I just about fell out of my chair.  “This has to be a mistake,” I thought. 

Nope.  Here’s a rare press release from The CW, actually praising their often overlooked yet always performing better than anyone else Thursday night lineup.
