TV Ratings (Thursday 2nd April)
- Thread starter Jax
- Start date
It wouldn't surprise me if NBC did cancel the show because there are signs there...
NBC ordered a larger 27 episode order to help get to a decent sydnication package and lets face it the ratings have been down to series low levels so NBC should cancel it but they still might bring it back for a shorter episode of 12/13 episodes for the fall. (90 episode mark come 4th season finale btw)
A rumor that has picked up steam is FOX want to pick up the show ecause they are worried about the lack of comedies on their network but I think FOX would be foolish not to just create there own instead.

Kripke and the 2 J's have been candid all along that (if they were lucky enough to get renewed ) they didn't want to do more than 5 seasons. They want the show to go out on a high note creatively, plus both J's actually have some talent so they have a chance at another series or films. It's hilarious because the CW is finally getting it that their teen girl focus isn't working The suits have ignored Thursday and now they're panicking a little. Was it tv.com that did the April Fools' joke that the CW was going to change its name to the M-W, as in Monday through Wednesday because that's what Dawn O advertises? 
It's funny because it's true. There really isn't any more story for SPN after next year after the big Lucifer rising brother vs. brother thing they're doing now. A few more interesting stand alones, more family history, and that's it. They'd be recycling after that.
Jared's already gotten bonked on the head about the 50 year olds in wheelchairs remark.

No, no, no. Supernatural's format has changed markedly since season one. There are a few stand alones here and there, but the mythology of the show has a very well defined arc story that dates back to events in season one. The arc kicked into gear early in season two after the brothers' father made his deal with Azazel. Unlike the X-Files, they actually give answers on this show every so often. With the story the way it's structured now, it's got to have a definitive ending.
As for them wanting only 5 seasons, Kim Manner's death in February sealed that deal. He was extremely close with Kripke, a co-executive producer, and a great friend of Ackles and Padalecki. They don't go around on public grief parade, but it's a difficult situation.
