Oh SPN I love you so.

From here.

My own pick for the best series on The CW remains Supernatural, which has evolved into one of the best shows on television, period. Season 5 has found demon-hunting brothers Sam and Dean Winchester not so much caught up in the End of Days (yes, that apocalypse) as trying to figure out its scary specifics. Jared Padalecki (as Sam) and Jensen Ackles (as Dean) continue to do outstanding work, regardless of the curves show-runner Eric Kripke throws their way. I should think most young actors would kill to land roles as demanding as these. Week after week, Padalecki and Jensen shift gears between exciting action sequences, powerful dramatic confrontations and side-splittingly funny moments with equal aplomb.

And on the last 2 eps before Abandon, Changing Channels and The Real Ghostbusters : Both episodes were stand-alone gems that were funnier than any episode of any sitcom this season (with the possible exceptions of CBS' The Big Bang Theory and ABC's Modern Family).

Thanks to didiackles for the heads-up!

I still can't think of any other shows that deal with drama and angst and family and love as deep as my beloved Show. *sniffs*

Very true! Or have the characters as fleshed-out as our boys!!

That's just too cute for words. I love it when the critics are fans of our little show!

I'm stoked that he thought Channels and Ghostbusters were funnier than any sitcoms!

Any idea how uhm, mainstream is that particular critic?

[katikat.livejournal.com]

No idea. Though The Huffington Post is quoted quite often. And it's not just he - Mo Ryan from The Chicago Tribune and Matt Roush from TV Guide Magazine are bigs fans too. And Mo Ryan is one of the most respected TV critics out there.

It never failed to puzzle me how such a good show doesn't have that many followers, you know, like CSI or Grey's Anatomy for instance.

That's a great review, and holds a lot of truth.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It's good to see the show getting good reviews like that!!

I've got the locksmith on speed dial so Show better keep delivering the goods.

My SPN-flist wouldn't be the same without your no-holds-barred, wacky reviews!
