Supernatural, Jensen's new series, premieres Tuesday, September 13 9/8c on The WB.


Important: 'Supernatural' Premiere Goes Long. The premiere will bleed over its one-hour allotment. The debut episode will end at 10:07 p.m.


Media Blvd has a Supernatural Board. Be sure to stop by.
Aside from this thread, we have another Supernatural thread, dedicated to Jensen's character 'Dean', so people, go check Dean Winchester Appreciation Thread.
And, of course, Supernatural Official Site. It's definitely worth checking out!

lyric
If you're going to check the Supernatural Official Site (which is highly recommended), be sure to have your loudspeakers on. They did an amazing job! The intro is great, and almost everything that you touch in the car works. Different audio files (and a range of them on each object); Images; Different files. There's a section with links to internet sources. And the feeling on the site... You should really check this site out.
lyric
Jensen Ackles.org has short videos of Jensen and Jared talking about 'Dean' and 'Sam'. If it's sound familiar, I think it's because we've already read it on the WB. If you haven't read it, here you go:
Jensen talks about Supernatural (and about going from hunk to hero on The WB).
Jared talks about Supernatural (and also about Jensen and 'Gilmore Girls').

They also have a long promo trailer. Definitely worth watching!

"Supernatural" will debut online before it airs on television

From The Mercury News:

New WB drama 'Supernatural' gets Internet jump

LYNN ELBER

Associated Press


LOS ANGELES
- The new WB series "Supernatural" will debut online before it airs on television, another sign of broadcast TV's increasingly aggressive promotional schemes.

Yahoo! users will be able to stream the first episode for a week beginning Tuesday, WB and the Internet company said. "Supernatural," about two brothers who encounter evil forces as they search for their missing father, begins airing on the network Sept. 13.

"You have to scream really loud and really compel the audience to choose your show over the array of other shows being presented to them at the same time," said WB Entertainment President David Janollari. "You have to find nontraditional ways to reach the audience."

The six broadcast networks will field 65 new and returning shows during the Sept. 19 premiere week and quickly build to about 130 total, he noted, adding: "And we're not even talking about cable."

With WB lacking the heftier on-screen promotional strength of the bigger and more established CBS, ABC and NBC networks, so-called "guerrilla" marketing tactics are especially vital, he said.

But the major networks also are going beyond the traditional on-air promos, radio ads and billboards: ABC's "Desperate Housewives" made a splash last year with dry-cleaning bags touting the series and is repeating the tactic, this time throwing in the occasional free T-shirt.

Besides the online streaming of "Supernatural," which stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, WB is employing a host of standard and innovative measures to make viewers want to tune in and sample the drama. Among the offbeat ones:

_ At 500 cafes in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, coffee cup sleeves inscribed with a spooky image drawn in thermal ink that appears when the beverage heats up the cup.

_ Promotional messages on bar mirrors, in video game stores and movie theaters, with "Supernatural" napkins and coasters in hundreds of bars in the top 10 TV markets.

_ "Supernatural" signs on tops of gas pumps and hoses at stations in seven markets.

_ Rubber glow-in-the-dark bracelets distributed in front of movie theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

Streaming a show online before its TV debut was something WB inaugurated last year with its drama "Jack & Bobby." The network believes the pre-broadcast exposure on America Online helped boost its initial audience, although the show couldn't hold viewers and was canceled.

For a horror series like "Supernatural," designed to appeal to young adult viewers 12 to 34, debuting online makes sense, according to Janollari.

"That's where they're living," he said of the target audience.

WB and its affiliates are betting that those who sample the show will want to repeat the viewing experience on TV. Besides, network executives said, the goal is to build an audience for the season and beyond, not just the debut episode.

Earlier this year, Yahoo! streamed the pilot of Kirstie Alley's "Fat Actress" at the same time it debuted on Showtime and showed series clips. The promotions combined were viewed 1.4 million times.

The value for Yahoo! comes in providing richer content for its users, said company executive David Katz. It also creates a source of valuable data for the entertainment industry.

"It helps Yahoo! users make more informed decisions about what they want to view and gives networks and studios more information about what users are really most interested in," said Katz, vice president of entertainment and sports.

Details about "Supernatural" also will be sprinkled throughout Yahoo! including on its heavily trafficked home page.

WB's “Supernatural”

Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) and his brother Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) are scarred forever when their mother is killed in a unnatural phenomenon at a young age. Now, 22 years later, the family hunts for supernatural beings who threaten mankind in hopes of finding and destroying whatever killed their mother.



Of the shows reviewed, this show has had the most character development, due in no small part to the smaller cast. The story is well told and the characters have good chemistry together. This show has a lot of potential, but only if it adds a female regular (a necessity for any science fiction show–you can guess why), continues character development and stays away from the “monster of the week” and “reset button” that poorly written science fiction has become infamous for (yes, Smallville, if it can be considered science fiction, has definitely fallen into this trap.) For now, it's on my list of shows to watch weekly.



“Supernatural” is on WB on Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m.

The WB, meanwhile, is a force to reckon with on Tuesday with its underrated combination of veteran Gilmore Girls (Overnights: #4t, 5.0/ 8; Viewers: #5, 5.91 million; A18-49: #5, 2.5/ 7) and compatible lead-out Supernatural (Overnights: #5, 4.3/ 6; Viewers: #5, 5.27 million; A18-49: #5, 2.4/ 6). Both dramas were up over last week, and Supernatural is expected to be renewed for the remainder of the season at any given moment.

Still on tuesday's episode, JensenAcklesFans.com has a clip for 'Phantom Traveler' (9:46 minutes). Short clips can also be found on SupernaturalPlanet.com episode video clips' section.
