if you’ve never met my dad, picture a reasonably thorough Hank Hill clone with the voice of Art from Justified, now make that man a superfan of the hit CW television program Supernatural, a show his children and grandchildren have never seen

I almost want to start watching it myself but at the moment my entire knowledge of it is filtered through him (because when it was originally airing he would call me weekly to tell me what was happening) and I kind of want to preserve that liminal space

Also, it's like 15 seasons long, so that's a huge commitment.

He’s retired for the third time and it’s too hot to fish this week so I guess this fills the hours

It is a genuinely entertaining show, but also hearing the plot described only through Dad Understanding would be incredible

I can imagine a word of mouth campaign amongst boomer men about the demon hunting in muscle cars brother duo set to ‘70s rock that’s wedged between teen soap operas

I’ve never watched it. I’ve just heard at one point they kill God, then there’s still 2 more seasons.

K but it's pretty decent and then it goes completely off the rails bonkers at some point but it's still strangely fine and watchable

I guess I’m concerned it won’t live up to the expectations he has set for me over the years

there's an in-show storyline about the fanfiction/gospel of sam and dean. i'm glad your dad has been sharing the good news

Somehow it went from so good to unwatchable and then back to “ehh, not so bad again”. You can do a lot in fifteen seasons.

My only knowledge of the show outside the 1st season is the time they did a crossover episode with Scooby-Doo.

They were 100% Dudes. Just the nicest guys. I didn't want to bother them, but I said to my buddy "See those two guys? They are on [ ex's] favorite show" He just went right up and said "His ex loves your show" and they were like "Oh, that's really nice, thanks" and we just hanged for a few hours

i would flip fantastic and good in the order but yes the thing that kept it on for 15 seasons is the leads not just being extremely hot but also inexplicably acting their asses off the entire time

I got back from overseas and watched a couple and realized that there was way too much lore for me to jump in on it, so maybe I'd catch up some day. That was in January 2008. It ran for TWELVE MORE YEARS. I am never even going to try.

The most confusing part for me is Dean from “Gilmore Girls” not playing the character named Dean.
aug 18, 2025, 3:04 am • 1 0 • view
this was definitely a point of confusion for me when my extremely supernatural obsessed friend tried to explain the plot to me "wait, so there's a character named dean AND jared padalecki is in it? i will never stop being confused by that"

I remember when it was still running in like 2017 and I was BAFFLED by why the network kept saying "New Episode" when, clearly, it must have come to a close in 2007 or so.
