The WalkerFamily held out hope for Walker: Independence until the last minute. We campaigned to #SaveWalkerIndependence on social media. We clung to the optimistic words of its showrunner, Seamus Kevin Fahey, and Executive Producer Jared Padalecki that their show might find a new home for season 2. For exactly one month, since May 9 when the…
As reported earlier on The Winchester Family Business, The CW cancelled The Winchesters after just one season.

These are fairly regularly scheduled events lasting about 30 minutes and at a cost of “pay-what-you-can.” Steve, as you might recall from my last review, is Jensen Ackles’ musical partner in…
