Eric Kripke Reveals His Top 10 'Supernatural' Episodes

Over the past two weeks I've put together a list of the 10 best Supernatural episodes of all time, which you can begin reading here. One of the most frustrating things about making the list was being forced to leave certain episodes off. I would have loved to include episodes like "Nightshifter," "Devil's Trap," the upcoming "Lazarus Rising," and about a dozen others, but there simply wasn't room for everything. Sacrifices had to be made.

The same day that I finished posting my personal top 10 list, Supernatural creator Eric Kripke spoke to TV Guide and unveiled his own favorite episodes. Which list is better? You be the judge.

BuddyTV's Top 10 Supernatural Episodes:

"No Rest for the Wicked"
"Pilot"
"Bad Day at Black Rock"
"Mystery Spot"
"Born Under a Bad Sign"
"A Very Supernatural Christmas"
"Home"
"What Is and What Should Never Be"
"In My Time of Dying"
"All Hell Breaks Loose"


Eric Kripke's Top 10 Supernatural Episodes (in alphabetical order):

"Bloodlust"
"Crossroad Blues"
"Devil's Trap"
"Faith"
"Ghostfacers"
"Hollywood Babylon"
"Mystery Spot"
"Nightshifter"
"A Very Supernatural Christmas"
"What Is And What Should Never Be"

I'm surprised that there's so little overlap between the lists, though I'll admit that I would have put "Ghostfacers" in the top 10 had it not been for the protestations of many Supernatural fans. Sometimes I think Kripke and I are the only ones who love that episode. I'm also happy to see "Nightshifter" and "Hollywood Babylon" make the top 10, as those are fantastic installments that deserve some love.

Now it's time for me to come out of the closet and admit something: I don't understand the love for "Faith." It's on Kripke's list and on the lists of many BuddyTV users who commented on my articles, but I find the episode slow-moving and fairly dull. Maybe I just don't enjoy the fact that the entire episode is a big tease that Dean might die, which everyone knows isn't going to happen in episode 12 of season 1. Is there more to it than that? If you're a big fan of "Faith," I'd like to hear why. Maybe I need to give it another watch.

Other than that entry, I think Kripke's list is great. I'm surprised he didn't show more love to the season finales, which I think are consistently amazing episodes. Who's list do you agree with more?

Wenn ich mir die beiden Listen so ansehe, dann gefällt mir die von BuddyTV fast besser. Mit "Bad Day at Black Rock" und "Mystery Spot" hat man immer wieder was zu lachen und "Born Under a Bad Sign" ist sowieso ungeschlagen.

Auf "A Very Supernatural Christmas" und "Home" könnte ich allerdings durchaus verzichten. Mein armes Baby!

no Emmy ????
whaaaaaat ????
wie gemein ..

@SammyBaby

Mir ging nen ähnlicher Gedanke durch den Kopf!

Ich glaub, ich muss mir diese besagte Folge Smallville mal angucken, um herauszufinden,
was daran so besonders ist, dass sie Supernatural in den Schatten stellt... :o

Jaaaa das wüsst ich auch zu gern
naja also wer Supernatural nicht mag hat halt pech gehabt hehe
die verpassen aber was das kann ich sagen !!

SUPERNATURAL GEHT WEITER ...........................

Ab dem 06. Oktober um 21:15 Uhr zeigt Pro7 die Mysteryserie immer montags in Doppelfolgen.

Somit reagiert der Sender auf die zuletzt schwächelnden Quoten der ersten Staffel und verschiebt die Serie eine Stunde nach hinten.

Außerdem werden von nun an jeden Montag zwei Folgen gesendet, wodurch der Zuschauer zwangsläufig bis 23:15 Uhr vor dem Fernsehgerät bleiben muss…

Neben der kompletten zweiten Staffel wird auch die 19. Episode der ersten Staffel gesendet, die im Zuge der Sendepolitik von Pro7 bisher noch nicht gezeigt wurde.

Hoffen wir doch mal dass die Quoten besser werden

wenn auch wir bei den Quoten mitreden könnten, wären sie garantiert besser...

nichtsdestotrotz werde ich mir die zweite Staffel trotzdem angucken, wenn es sich einrichten lässt... da Moonlight jetzt ja nicht mehr kommt, und Naley auch manchmal keine Zeit für mich hat, stehen die Chancen also gut

Sam und Ruby wurden unter die 22 Pärchen von Zap2it.com's 'Top Supernatural Romances of TV and Film' gewählt...

Last season, Ruby was a blond demon who helped the Sam Winchester when she felt it suited her. This season, she's a brunette who has been shacking up with him while he exorcises demons with his mind. The things one does when their brother is in hell. And now that big brother is out of hell and disapproves of the relationship, that doesn't stop the love. Ruby was there helping Sam when his brother wasn't around -- that goes a long way.

Da sind noch so viele andere niedliche Pärchen bei ~ Sookie und Bill aus 'True Blood' ~ Mick und Beth aus 'Moonlight' ~ Ned und Chuck von 'Pushing Daisies', um nur ein paar zu nennen

Ich hoffe wirklich, die Wahl beinhaltet Jared und Katie, denn nach wie vor mag ich die
neue Ruby nicht... Und Sam mag sie auch nicht... PASTA!

Uiii...

Max und Liz (Roswell) und Arwen & Aragorn (HDR)!!!! *froiiiii*
Hätte mich auch gewundert, wenn die beiden Paarungen nicht dabei gewesen wären!
Bei den anderen war es von vornherein klar...

Why We Love Bobby Singer

Tuesday, November 11, 2008


Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki receive a lot of praise for making Supernatural as compelling as it is, and deservedly so. Without their unique chemistry, the show would fall apart. However, the magical team known as Padackles aren't the only actors that make the series special. Other cast members including Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Misha Collins, Nicki Aycox and Fredric Lane have also worked hard to elevate Supernatural to greatness over the years. The series wouldn't be the same without their contributions.

I'd argue that the show's most important recurring guest star is Jim Beaver, who plays the one and only Bobby Singer. Much to my surprise, there are some fans out there who think Supernatural would be better off without Bobby. These ridiculous rumblings recently inspired the actor to post a blog on his MySpace, where he revealed that we won't see much of Bobby for the remainder of season 4.

I have no idea how anyone can dislike Bobby or Jim Beaver's performance, but if there's one thing I've learned from trolling the Internet over the years, it's that people will complain about anything. I think it's a shame when people like Jim Beaver or Eric Kripke have to step forward to address this vocal minority, especially when the minority is just a handful of people gathering at a certain TV website that's known for being snarky and negative about everything. The complaints of these supposed fans aren't even worth addressing, in my opinion.

Here are some excerpts from Jim's blog entry:

"It seems there's a sizable number of folks who are not happy to see so much of Bobby on the show. Well, I can't do much about that, except to say that I haven't filmed an episode since 'Yellow Fever' and don't know if or when I'll ever be back, since my new show Harper's Island is taking all my time now. So that ought to satisfy the ones who are tired of Bobby.

"Someone also questioned why Bobby would speak Japanese. Well, that's my fault. The script to 'Yellow Fever' didn't have Bobby speaking Japanese. It just had a Japanese spirit infecting Dean. I mentioned to Eric Kripke that I speak Japanese myself, and suggested it might be fun to have Bobby say something in the language. To those who wonder what possible reason Bobby would have for knowing Japanese, I'd say it's probably the same reason I have for speaking it: I love languages and about 12 years ago I decided to study Japanese. Maybe Bobby loves languages, too. So blame me, not Bobby or Kripke.

"I love doing Supernatural and I regret not being there for most of this season. But that's a good thing for the folks who don't care much for Bobby, and for those who like him, well, hang in there. He might be back!"

People were actually complaining that Bobby knew how to speak Japanese? Like I said, some fans will whine about anything. It upsets me that the actor had to stumble upon such annoying opinions, which is why I decided to write this article. Jim will likely never read this, but to counteract the negativity I think it'd be great for Supernatural fans to step forward and talk about why they love Bobby. Sound off with your praise for the character and the actor below.

For those who are worried that Bobby may never return to Supernatural, my advice is to stay calm. As interesting as Harper's Island sounds, I'd be shocked if the mid-season murder mystery series makes it through an entire season. It's a non-procedural drama on CBS, which probably means it's doomed.

How Did You Discover the Show?

Tuesday, December 02, 2008


Every Supernatural fan has a story about how they discovered the series. Some people watched from the very first episode, others tuned in later after being pestered by friends, some caught up on DVD after a couple seasons had gone by, and a few people may not have seen a single episode before "Lazarus Rising" sucked them in. We all stumbled upon the Winchesters in a different way, and we all fell in love with the show for different reasons.

With over a month to wait before Supernatural returns with new episodes, I thought it'd be a good time to share our stories about how we discovered this fantastic show. When did you start watching, and what got you hooked?

The story of my Supernatural addiction is probably a bit different than most. I tuned in to the pilot episode on September 13, 2005, partially due to my love of the horror genre, and also because I had an affection for Jared Padalecki that carried over from his years on Gilmore Girls. I was immediately impressed. The pilot episode is dark, creepy, beautifully shot and filled with awesome brotherly banter. Unfortunately, the monster-of-the-week shenanigans in the next few episodes didn't impress me as much. "Bloody Mary" and "Home" were amazing, but they weren't enough to keep me obsessed. I gave up on the show halfway through its first season, not because I disliked it, but because I was busy and unsure of where the series was headed.

Boy, was I stupid.

If you're a TV fan, you're going to hear about the quality shows somewhere. After a couple seasons, I couldn't avoid hearing about Supernatural. People talked about the show on many of my favorite websites, and I really started to regret giving up on it. I didn't remember a lot about the first season, so I decided to pick up the DVD set and give it another whirl. That's when I got hooked. No, I still didn't like "Dead in the Water" very much, but I was able to enjoy the monster-of-the-week episodes more the second time around. As we all know, the show's mythology really starts to kick in halfway through the first season, and that's when I was sucked in for good. Why had I missed out on all this greatness when it originally aired? I couldn't stop kicking myself for my poor judgment call.

I breezed through all the DVDs just in time to watch season 3 on the CW, and I've been a loyal Supernatural fan ever since. I may not have Jensen and Jared pillowcases, but I am completely obsessed with the complicated world Eric Kripke has created. I initially got into the show for its clever spin on the horror genre, but I've stuck with it because I find Sam and Dean so incredibly fascinating. Their relationship, their bickering, their inability to express their emotions to one another -- it's all so incredibly real. There's a lot to love about Supernatural, but the main reason to watch is to see the complex bond between the Winchester brothers. I can't think of another show on television with such an interesting familial relationship at its core.

There are some people who think you're not a true fan of a series unless you've watched it loyally from the beginning, but that's not true. In these days of quick cancellations and shows that start strong and fade into oblivion, I think it's fine to wait a while before jumping into something new. I'm thankful for all the Supernatural fans who kept talking about the show on every website I visited. Without them, I might not have given the Winchesters another chance, and I'd be missing out on one of the best things on television.

Now it's your turn. Comment HERE and let everyone know how you discovered the show and what got you hooked. Were you there from the beginning, or did you only get sucked into Supernatural recently?

Submit Your Questions for Three 'Supernatural' Writers

Thursday, December 11, 2008


Though Supernatural fans love stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, it's the show rich stories and brilliant writing that helps make Supernatural truly stand out. Tomorrow BuddyTV is interviewing three of the show's top writers, and we want you to submit your questions.

BuddyTV will talk to Supernatural writers Ben Edlund, Sera Gamble and Jeremy Carver. Post your questions in the comments section below, and we'll try to ask as many as we can so you'll have the chance to find out what you want to know from these great writers.

Ben Edlund has been with Supernatural since season 2 and has penned some of the show's funniest episodes, including “Bad Day at Black Rock,” “Ghostfacers,” “Monster Movie” and “Wishful Thinking.” Also a comic book artist, he created The Tick while still in high school. Edlund also leant his unique blend of comedy and drama to Angel, where he served as producer and writer, authoring “Smile Time,” also known as the puppet episode.

Sera Gamble served as a story editor during seasons 2 and 3 of Supernatural before becoming a producer this season. Gamble has written episodes such as “Dream a Little Dream of Me” and “Jus in Bello.” Jared Padalecki fans can surely appreciate Gamble, as she wrote “Heart” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” both of which featured Sam Winchester sex scenes involving a werewolf and a demon.

Jeremy Carver came out of nowhere to join the Supernatural writing team in season 3, and quickly made his mark with such classic episodes as “A Very Supernatural Christmas,” “Mystery Spot” and this season's “In the Beginning.” Though he didn't have many writing credits before getting this gig, his backstory-heavy episodes are a clear indication that Carver is well-versed on the show's mythology.

Supernatural doesn't return with new episodes until January 15, so this is a great chance to feed your Supernatural fix and find out what you really want to know from the writers who help to craft what actually happens on Supernatural.

Post your questions below and check back in the following weeks to see if your question was answered by one of the Supernatural writers.

The CW Finally Gets Some Awards Respect (Yours)

Fri., Dec. 12, 2008 7:00 PM PST by Kristin Dos Santos


Awards season is here, and as per bah-humbug usual, the fancy trophy-giving institutions seem poised to shut out the Littlest Network That Can. It's hard out there for a CW show, but the industry elitism ends here and now, because we know how much good stuff is going on at the See-Dub. (As do many of you fellow fans, who emailed in yesterday after the Globes noms.)

Therefore, in an effort to redress these wrongs, we are launching the first ever CW Awards.

The question, of course, is which CW actors, auteurs and series deserve to take the top spot, and only you can decide the answer, so drop in and vote... >>> HERE <<<

So, that's the list. Are we on crack? We know, we (accidentally? purposely?) forgot Chad Michael Murray for best actor. Whoops. Anyone else who should have been there?

Read us the riot act in the comments or take a minute to talk up your show...

Thanks for playing!

TV's top 10 in a year that rebounded from a poor start

THE LEAST successful fall in years for broadcast networks had this writer wondering if there'd be enough shows to fill out a "best of" list this year.

But let's hear it for the resilience of TV, which survived a strike and a weak roster of new offerings and still managed to come up with the following quality fare in 2008:

[...]

6. "Supernatural," the CW; "Torchwood," BBC America; "Doctor Who," Sci Fi

Don't make me pick just one genre favorite! The unheralded but excellent "Supernatural" is by far the most consistent of the three, packing meaty thrills, dude-tastic humor and solid storytelling into each episode.

"Torchwood" is by far the cheekiest and sexiest of the trio, and it was even more satisfying in its frequently imaginative and compelling second season.

"Doctor Who" was the most maddeningly inconsistent of the three, but when it worked, its mixture of wicked humor, slightly skewed sci-fi storytelling and poignant relationship drama was satisfying indeed. And David Tennant was simply brilliant as the Doctor; he'll be missed when he exits the role after a series of 2009 specials.

TV.com Top 100 Everything of 2008: 21-30

We pick the top 100 things that caught our eye this past year; in this edition: we talk Heroes, Supernatural, and True Blood.

In this gargantuan Top 100 list, we go a little out of the box by looking at specific elements of television--both on-screen and off-screen--that we thought were the most memorable this year. We'll put up 10 more each weekday through January 2nd, so be sure to check the site often. Until next year, Happy Holidays!

28. Eric Kripke's love for the Winchester Brothers
When Supernatural creator Eric Kripke told TV.com that his sci-fi drama would always be about the relationship between its two demon-hunting siblings, he meant it. Season three had moments of heartfelt familial emotion, and season four is continuing the brotherly love. It's the core of what drives one of television's most underrate programs, and it's was going stronger than ever in 2008.
