Supernatural

I admit, for better or worse, I like watching the WB. The network that produced Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Gilmore Girls, and Smallville appeals to me, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on new shows. I'm not as much a fan of the comedies as I am of the adventure and supernatural shows.

I was curious about Supernatural. Not because of the two leads, neither of whom I am that impressed by, but because of the subject nature. I love a good ghost story. I also love urban legends. This show seems to be dealing with both. The first episode dealt with the story of the ghostly female hitchhiker on the side of the road wanting a lift home. The pilot deviated a bit from there, but it was a very creepy episode. Tonight's story about the Wendigo, a cannibalistic monster in the forest, had some eerie moments too (and it's only half over as I write this).

I don't think it will reach the cult status of Buffy, but its entertaining...

Well, I'm not a big fan of Jared Paladecki or the Jansen Ackles guy either, but the storyline is pretty good, if you like this sort of thing. I think they could have ditched one of them for a more burly character ;)
