I certainly would not call kripke the best but he sure knows how to keep a series going without it going completely to shit. I found supernatural entertaining right to the end even with its best days behind it. Hard to believeI started watching it with smallville. Its not the same thing but kinda reminds me of john doe. It wa entertaining enough to watch but once firefly was canceled not decent enough to be sitting down and catching the episodes. I think streaming saved supernatural and that it was a bit better than john doe. Still if I could not catch it whenever I wanted I think I would have missed a few episodes and then that would have been that.
