CW renews Arrow, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, The Originals

Glad to see at least one other Reign fan here.
Supernatural had a bad season or two but has definitely recovered.

The ratings will probably continue to be good enough to warrant an eleventh season of Supernatural. Whether it continues or ends will rely on whether the stars decide to sign up for a continuation or call it a day.

Around season 5, Ackles and Padelecki said that they were looking forward to the end of the show, moving on and being able to sleep in their own beds again. Now it's half a decade later and their still at it. They've really held on.

I know that IGN did a recent interview with them and the impression was that the stars and show runners are willing to continue as long as the ratings hold and the CW wants to do it.

The actors are each making somewhere in the range of $100,000 to $150,000 an episode. That's between $2.3 and $3.45 million a season. It's unlikely that they'll ever have the opportunity to make that type of money again.

Plus, the show is still great, imo.

It's one of the network's highest rated shows and arguably its best.

Arrow is better.

I said arguably.

I'd have agreed with you if Supernatural had continued the way it was going in Seasons 6 and 7, but it's really returned to form the last couple of years. I quite enjoy Arrow too, though.

So would I have to go through S6-7 or does S8 have a nice intro ep to get straight to the good stuff?

How the HELL is "Supernatural" still on the air?!?

I stopped watching this back at the end of S5, IIRC - the one where either Sam or Dean(shows how little I cared as I cannot even remember which brother it was!)is looking in through the window at his brother in a nice little house with a nice little wife and family. It was designed as the end of the series and SHOULD have been the end. As it was, the show was old and stale THEN.


Time to put this dog out of its misery!!!

Supernatural is the best show on cw next arrow
I love the vampire diaries and the originals
I still think riegn needs to be on starz for better production value

I'd start with episode 12 of season 8, "As Time Goes By." This episode reignites the mythology in a new direction and the episodes that follow are some great standalone stories.

"As Time Goes By" reminded how cool, surprising and inventive Supernatural could be and rekindled my love for the show.
