H. Holmes. It was the mix of horror, humor, and familial bonds that kept me watching. <br /><br />The best for humor, I think, is the one where they show up at a "Supernatural (the show) Convention" as themselves. But no one believes it. It was darkly funny and didn't take itself seriously. I appreciated that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711466717985830395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-35743125442261522392010-07-11T20:47:01.150-07:002010-07-11T20:47:01.150-07:00I still remember checking this show out when it pr...I still remember checking this show out when it premiered simply because there were very little true horror shows on at the time; if there were any at all. And after a few episodes, as much as I thought I would start hating it for just being another cutsey WB teen drama, I started loving it even more. Been awhile since I've seen the first season, but I do remember the Scarecrow episode being a standout. <br /><br />And I think the show has only gotten better as it has progressed. Wouldn't mind seeing a few more monster of the week episodes, but it's still got top notch writing and great stand alone episodes. The introduction of the other Gods this past season was a personal favorite. As was the "Supernatural" convention installment. <br /><br />And while it probably should have ended after the intended five year run, I can't say I'm upset to see where they go with it from here. Just hope it isn't like the last two seasons of "Buffy."Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-26976620631533682972010-07-10T15:47:18.432-07:002010-07-10T15:47:18.432-07:00It gets better and more involved, yes, but if you ...It gets better and more involved, yes, but if you completely hated the pilot I doubt the improvement will be enough for you. I'd say watch the rest of the first disc and then decide. Like almost all shows, it had to find its footing a bit, though I think the pilot is much stronger with respect to the rest of the show than most shows (Community being a recent example - the pilot is almost for a different show with the same cast).BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-73503892780294183332010-07-10T15:34:42.498-07:002010-07-10T15:34:42.498-07:00After hearing so much about this show, my wife and...After hearing so much about this show, my wife and I tried to watch it, and barely made it through the first episode. We found it very trite and painfully acted. I can understand if it just isn't for us, but what I'm curious about is whether the pilot is indicative of the quality of the whole show, or does it get better?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174004078586194041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-68345615459423164722010-07-09T19:24:31.811-07:002010-07-09T19:24:31.811-07:00GREAT show, and I definitely know what you mean ab...GREAT show, and I definitely know what you mean about "the good 'ol days." The show does take a very obvious shift from 'monster of the week' in the first 2 seasons to having an over-arcing storyline (I'm looking at you, seasons 4 and 5). I heard through the grapevine that season 6 will be more like season 1 though, so that's coolMasakiumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113660388502584468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-76931931051049051532010-07-09T18:15:21.396-07:002010-07-09T18:15:21.396-07:00I got sent this one for review.
