   I like "Supernatural" a lot of the time. Sometimes they manage to pull   
   off genuine suspense rather than just being gross; it's better those   
   weeks. They comedy episodes tend to be better than the angsty ones. The   
   season opener featuring the Seven Deadly Sins was hysterical.   
      
   The problem with the show is Jared Padalecki who has too little   
   personality. What did Rory ever see in him?

   I take it Bobby Singer has been used on so many episodes because the   
   producers feel that killing off the father was bad for the show.

   The episodes that weren't aired were better? Whoops.   
      
   As Lee Whiteside put it, "It was as if he woke up one morning and his tv   
   show had never been produced."
