I love this article! SUPERNATURAL is an amazing TV show. It’s so much better than anything else I’ve ever seen or expect to see. Yet it’s placed in an impossible slot, against CSI, GREY’s, OFFICE, and FRINGE, all of which have enormous audiences. The fact that SUPERNATURAL shows any audience at all (and the CW isn’t even available in all markets, which cuts down its audience even more), is a miracle, but rest assured that those fans ADORE this amazing program and show it the respect it deserves. The proof is in the pudding, but Dawn Ostroff seems to think that just renewing SUPERNATURAL is enough; advertising and promotion cannot be taken away from her darlings, 90210, GOSSIP GIRLS and MELROSE PLACE. When I think of SUPERNATURAL, whether it’s amongst the other shows on the CW or all the other programs on the other networks, I picture CW as one gorgeous, perfect red rose reaching for the sky–and all the others dead weeds–brown, ugly, worthy only of a trash compactor! Love, Robin

Thank you for echoing what we die-hard fans have been saying for “years.” Supernatural is truly the Rodney Dangerfield of the CW – it gets no respect! Plus, when you consider the competition from more recognized shows (CSI and Gray’s Anatomy), SPN is doing one helluva job. Thanks for noticing!

Thanks for the great post. Supernatural is the little show that could.. It seems the CW doesn’t have a clue about this show. But they don’t have to promote the show the fans are doing it for them..

I’m loving the darker Supernatural story this season!I doubt she can save her job even though she has a tiny new hit with The Vampire Diaries.

Yes, but Dawn has about a month to save her job. I doubt she can.

The problem is that the CW (read: Ostroff) has refused to promote Supernatural in the past and are only covering it minimally now. This season has FINALLY seen more promotion but with the collective previews they have done featuring every show airing, Supernatural is literally a blip in between GG and Smallville etc. Not to mention the new “Dangerous” promo featuring only one still of a shadow of Sam Winchester’s face. Oh, and the fact that they are using old footage from I believe Season 2 of Jensen and Jared for the “new” promos that show during shows. That to me say that they (read: Ostroff) refuse to spend money on new and better promotion for the show that very well may be keeping their network afloat.
I have to say though that the DVD promos were plentiful but I assume that has more to do with Warner Brothers than the CW. Supernatural will continue to be the little show that could due to fan support and not Ostroff’s support. Her love of teen ‘Mary-Sues’, angst and addiction is nauseating.

I totally agree with everything you said. Except for switching it to Fox… cause Fox has a history with canceling amazing genre shows (i.e. Firefly). But yeah, I agree with what you said. Supernatural is an amazing show, its sad it doesn’t get the exposure it deserves.
