It’s about time something like this happened! AOL TV first broke the story today that “MAD,” a Warner Brothers animated show that airs on Cartoon Network Monday evenings, will be parodying none other than the Winchester brothers! Sam and Dean in animated form will face their most gruesome case yet, a 16 year old planning her sweet…
BOBBY REVISITS HIS PAST The CW is keeping “Supernatural” on the air a bit longer this winter than most of the network’s other shows, so on this Friday we are treated to episode 7.10, “Death’s Door”, which many are excited about not only because it features Jim Beaver, which is always a good sign but…
Back in 2009 just as season five was getting ready to start, I researched and wrote an article that gave a detailed analysis on why Supernatural was a profitable little franchise for their parent studio Warner Brothers. Studios do not release revenues on individual shows (then or now), nor do they release costs either, so a lot…
At the end of Ben Edlund’s satisfying, but gut-wrenching “How To Win Friends, and Influence Monsters”, three questions were burning through my mind, repeating like a bad case of acid reflux.

“How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters,” shows the latest plans the Leviathans have for human kind. They have designed a sandwich that will infect people, turning them into cattle for the Leviathan to feed. Their boss, Dick Roman, wants nothing to make the papers, but unfortunately it does, creating a problem for their new…
So in the spirit of fun I started thinking about meta and about what types of episodes I’d really like to see the show attempt. “Changing Channels,†“The Real Ghostbusters,†“Ghostfacers,†and “The French Mistake†kind of played with form, so I thought I’d go through my list of form-meta recommendations. I invite you to…

Episode nine, aka the setup episode before the possible maddening, gut-wrenching, “why-oh-why-are-you-torturing-us-silly” mid-season finale. Fine, once in a while we get a midseason finale that leaves us wondering how many wet ones they were tipping, like “Heaven and Hell,” but most leave you wrecked. However, we’re here to focus on the episode before that. Last…
Ever since I started reviewing Supernatural in season three, I’ve taken some enjoyment here and there in performing a close study of Sam’s character (and gotten tons of “Sam fan†accusations because of it). He’s quite an enigma most of the time because he tends to internalize everything. It makes for hours of fun speculating. …
