The best part of Supernatural is that once they realised they'd hit the point of no return with ridiculousness they just leaned into it and kept being as wild as possible.

I love how blatantly obvious it was that this show was meant to end after season 5 and that everyone involved was just like "nah, another decade"

My favorite part of the series is when Sam and Dean died half a dozen times each and the show really wanted you to think they were dead for real every time before just bringing them back in the next season premiere.

I love that you picked up on Dean’s Most Consistent Character Trait. That despite posturing as a nerd-mocking jock-type Cool Guy he is in fact far, FAR more nerdy than Sam. Only in academia can Sam out-nerd Dean, in any other respect Dean is King Geek. This persists through all fifteen seasons.

Here is what I'll say, Seasons 1-5 Supernatural is a different show from seasons 6-15 supernatural. They both have their positive and negative aspects, but otherwise what a wild ride of a show.

My grandma took me to a supernatural convention for my 16th birthday and the whole cast sang happy birthday to me and the guy who played the yellow eyed demon was soooooo nice. They actually even wrote about us in the official supernatural magazine and it was a highlight of my teenage life lmao It’s also crazy to think I started watching the show with my grandma in middle school and had to finish it without her because she passed away. This show is older then some of the kids I’ve babysat

The best thing I've ever heard Supernatural get called is "Redneck Dragonball Z" where every season has to up the anti and make things bigger and everytime someone dies they get brought back stronger.

I'm kind of sad they didn't go as far with the "urban legend" thing as they could have. I think those were my favorite episodes on the show.

Supernatural is one of those series that gets you really vested in the characters. Show definitely peaked in Seasons 4 & 5 but they had several enjoyable episodes in 6-15. The fact that it ran from 2005-2020 is also fun when you see how gradually the world changed technologically with them using flip phones in Season 1 to using iPhones and Androids in Season 15

The core premise of Supernatural as you laid it out is so strong. Estranged brothers brought back together on a roadtrip to find their dad, avenge their mom, and deal with spooks and stuff on the way? Excellent. The show went off the deep end and up its own ass frequently in later seasons, but the core was strong.

This is one of those shows where the filler episodes are just as entertaining as most of the main story arcs. Meeting the Trickster*, The lucky rabbit's foot and The French Mistake are brilliant self contained stories.

It's so weird hearing people go into the origins of Supernatural and talking about it like it's, y'know, an actual TV show, after having been in the fandom and knowing exactly what it became 😂

god this might be an unpopular opinion but season 1 was always my favourite season of the show since it was much more horror focused than the others and hearing you talk about it made me feel all nostalgic again

Went to a supernatural convention a few months back. Crowley is probably the nicest guy I’ve ever met. He walked through the crowds during his talk and interacted with every baby he saw.

Oh my god the nostalgia. The baby-faced brothers back when the story was horror Americana and not God vs Satan and whatever shenanigans they got into after 5. Watching you react to this is gonna be a trip. Have fun!

I love the western comparison. It's crazy to think that a genre we almost never see today, was at one time, popular enough to run for as long as a crime show would run nowadays

Season 1 to 5 are the real show for me. Te rest, (even if I still enjoyed it a lot) feels more and more like fanfiction with every passing season.

Jim Beaver is also in the Boys and this show. Both the characters have pretty much the same name. Robert Singer in The Boys and Bobby Singer in Supernatural.

They had originally planned for just the first five seasons which is why those five feel like a complete story and the rest are just a new story season to season but when they were offered more money to make more they said hey why not and kept going. The cast and crew seemed to just love making the show so much they were just doing it for themselves at that point.

As a Minnesotan, the two episodes that scared me were the Wendigo one because they say the creature is more common here, and there's a family of literal nutjobs kidnapping and hunting/murdering people in MN. The line that sticks with me is sam in a cage telling dean they're just people

I remember starting this show at 9 years old with my dad and watching it with him every week till I went away for college. It’s honestly insane to think about how long it lasted and the cultural impact it had

It’s the way fangirls keep this show alive for years. Gotta love their commitment 😅

The "OH MY GOD!" joke has to be one of my favorite jokes in the entire series, so it's inclusion was much appreciated. Like earned.

Started watching SPN in 2021 with the person who is now my roommate, after the whole… incident in November 2020. Fell head over heels in love with the show over the course of a year but also began an epic love hate relationship. We finished it back in September of this year (2022). There really are not words to describe the effect this show has on you if you’re unlucky enough to actually get attached to it. Truly, the Most Show of All Time. Also, this roommate and I and our other roommate are now rewatching Lost, which I grew up with, and it’s been very fun lol.

One of the things I liked most about this show was just how off the rails it went at times, and how aware of its critical mass level of batshittery it could be. The repeated shark jumps are some of the best things about it.

I never watched Supernatural, but I was always happy that it's fanbase seemed to enjoy it so much. It always seemed like a fun time.

The fact that this is just the beginning of the show is crazy. This is like the tutorial zone for what Supernatural becomes. I'm a little bias from nostalgia, but the early seasons are genuinelly great American television. Forget everything you think you know about the show from the fangirling-hot topic show it became.

as an old spn fan i would definitely enjoy watching you talk about each season lmao some of the plot arcs that show goes through are just ridiculous

Everyone's sharing their spn stories so... I watched the entirety in 18 days. Like six months ago. It was intense, I'm a changed person now.

Supernatural is very interesting in how it compares to Lost. The Lost writers wanted so badly to not let the show go on and on, and seasons 6-15 of Supernatural show exactly why.

supernatural gets absolutely bonkers in the later seasons, i would love to see a lot of long form videos on them.

Hoping the future videos will be a bit longer. There’s not nearly enough supernatural content on KZfaq and your video style is perfect for shows like this.

Considering I haven't really been "into" Supernatural for years now, and bailed on the show long before the series actually ended, I am surprisingly, hilariously excited to watch this and any subsequent videos you might make on it lmao

My dad has seen the entirety of it, and while he doesn’t necessarily agree with some of the more religious aspects of the show due to him being a Christian, he’s overly a big fan of the show to the point of tricking out his Mustang with some Supernatural-themed accessories (I swear, the car interior looks like it came from the show despite it clearly being an entirely different make and model).

My favorite part of Supernatural are actually the convention scenes. Jensen Ackles is at a convention for The Boys, and Misha Collins, the actor who played Castiel, shows up behind him. The audience starts SCREAMING like the building is on fire! And Ackles is completely startled!

If you spent any time on tumblr in like 2011 you have almost seen the entire show (from that point) in gifs, lol. That's why I always avoided it. So much fandom all around that I didn't have much control over seeing because it was close friends of mine. I tried watching it once and it seemed so silly but I can guarantee some stuff I like is silly.

Supernatural was my favorite show back when I had no friends and back before it got a huge following online. I loved the monster of the week style episodes but after they stopped the apocalypse and still tried raising the stakes afterwards- the whole thing started to feel bloated and dumb

This is what happens when shows almost become self sustaining entities. The CW didn't keep Supernatural because is kept growing in ratings (no show could maintain height popularity for that long) but mostly because they were scared of what the fandom would do to them if they ever actually brought down the hammer. Getting the fandom ok with letting the show go was a process that took several years and multiple seasons to get to.

You talk about supernatural in such a calm way... its incredible

As much as people say Supernatural should have ended much sooner, I always loved going back to this series once per year and watch the new season. The characters and the whole road trip style of it just made it so enjoyable for me. The show has great humor and a vibe that I am gonna remember fondly for the rest of my life. I literally grew up with it and I actually felt sad when it ended. It might not be a series that I think has the best writing or storytelling or whatever, but its just that one series I always had time for when a new season dropped, just to see the Winchesters and some of the great side characters do their thing one more time. Even on its worst moments, it still was an enjoyable ride for me.

This was the first show I had watched where I cared about the actors as much as the characters. Before, I used to not remember names and only called actors by their character names. Supernatural had me even watching convention videos. I loved this show so much! 😭

I used to love Supernatural when I was a kid, being an Australian, it made me feel like I was on an American road trip! I've always thought that it should have ended at season 5 as it felt like a perfect ending for the story, and when I rewatch it I stop at 5. Season 6-8 still had some highlights but from 6 onwards is were it started feeling like a CW show, 9-15 were just pure CW.

Actually Kripke never thought of a team of reporters but 1 reporter. Then he realized it was Night Stalker and switched to the brothers.

I love supernatural season 1 & 2 are by far my favorites, but everything up through 5 is amazing. 6-15 are not bad but the show never has the same level of writting and is much lighter in tone, almost being its own thing. Ill always miss it.

I used to watch this show SOO much! It definitely shouldn't have gone on for as long as it did but the early seasons are some of my favorite moments in the show.

I watched supernatural since I was like 13, and man, Jared and Jensen had such great chemistry THEY CARRIED that show through everything

The finale/not-finale that was the end of season 5 was mind blowing to teenage me. I made friends because of this show, i had/have crushes on the characters from this show, i was so interested by the lore of this show I did research of what most all of the mythology it was based on if I wasn't already familiar with it. I think what lost was for you this was for me kinda sorta, but more spooky and more leather clothing.

i love when Sam said 'it's orbing time' and then promptly orbed all over the place I've never watched supernatural

Angel aired it's last episode on May 19, 2004, while Supernatural first aired on September 13, 2005, so there could've been a potential crossover if Angel had gotten another season.

I rewatched this show (all 15 seasons) with my boyfriend during covid in 2020. I enjoyed all the spooky, ghost-hunting I remembered, and we had a lot of fun with the outlandish later seasons. This show has a special place in my heart.

Love the idea that you needed to watch supernatural in order to be prepared for a scooby doo video

Watching this, I have realized i need a lost-esque deconstruction of Supernatural from Billiam. It is always so nice to see his take on media, especially something he isn't super familiar with and is only invested in the first season due to a hack connection with a scooby doo crossover (which is good)

The supernatural cast is so funny they had these goofy clips behind the scene cuts for the holidays and it was cute

I checked out after season 5, The shows creator at that point had told the story they intended and then left the team and So I was like "okay so the shows over now" even though it was still going, honestly. After that it was just a case of "Show too successful to let end"

The thing I liked about supernatural is that even though it had a limited budget it wasn't scared to go big. Angels? You got them. Hell? You got it. Heaven? You got it. Celestial beings fighting one another? The apocalypse? God himself? They have it. I love and can respect that and the actors make an amazing job completing the absence of a big budget with big and laid out personalities

I'm watching it in full currently for the 5th time 🤩 Trying to see how fast I can binge it this time around. (Yess... I'm one of "those" fangirls) Also, besides the spin-offs, there's a podcast that Rob Benedict (Chuck/God) and Richard Speight Jr. (Angel Gabriel/Loki) started this year. Each episode is an hour long break down of each Supernatural episode. It's great!

I’m extremely delighted and excited to watch Billiam watch this show! Similarly, I did not watch Supernatural growing up but I always heard bits and pieces about it from my school friend who was obsessed with it. After the show ended she proceeded to explain the entire finale to me with absolutely no context and it was the most fun and confusing conversation about a TV show I ever had. I think about a year later I checked out the show, planning to only watch maybe a season or two, and then proceeded to binge the entire show in a few short months. Honestly the more over the top the show got (especially in seasons 6 and 7) the more I enjoyed it. I seriously look forward to you talking about this madness since I love your vids so much!

love to hear more about your thoughts on the show, especially regarding its later seasons. when in season 2 some ultimate demon killer is introduced and you realise there's 15 more seasons to go, then things get funny

Supernatural was my favorite show for a period of time, and I have to say it's amazing how hard it fell off after the OG showrunner left. Like it's a pretty simple premise but apparently he was only guy who knew how to make the show work. The Supernatural Billiam intro is also very good.

I love Supernatural. I started watching in 2015 on tnt morning weekday mini marathons. My dad died a year later and Supernatural somehow got my family through. My mom started watching too. I found out it was still on aire and my mom and i watched every new episode when it aired. Even my brother and sisters began watching it. Seldom has a tv series united my entire family. It was always there. And then it ended. Heart breaking. It's been on a while, so some seasons are better then others. The brotherly love and devotion to family was consistent throuout and maybe that's what drew us to it. The new series is something. Not quite the same, but I'll take it i guess

I always loved the special episodes in the later seasons. An episode where dean becomes a dog. An episode where the boys go to heaven. An episode where they are in a TV show. And my personal favorite the Scooby Doo episode.

I always though this show started as a serious show , watched a few episodes from the first season . Then years later caught it on tv , much later in the show I was like wtf happened

Kim Manners was a director. There are multiple palyfest for the show. He's part of the panel for the 1st Palyfest 2006.

Im literally rewatching Supernatural right now. The timing on this video was... supernatural... to me... at least... subjectively :')

OH MY GOD! Before 2020, I had only seen three episodes of Supernatural: The French Mistake, Scoobynatural (I had to see it for myself before I even watched the whole show) and a third episode I couldn’t identify because it wasn’t a TV I could use the remote for. I watched it for the first time as it was ending. I caught the penultimate and final episodes as they aired, as I crept close enough to finishing what was available on Netflix at the time that the gap in knowledge was manageable. It was THE BEST. I love this show so much

I remember seeing bits of season one when it first aired on tv, damn that feels like it was so long ago. The world felt...bigger then.

For the longest time when it was out in the early days I was convinced it was a spinoff of Smallville. Since dean's actor left Smallville and boom almost immediately we got this show airing right after or before Smallville.

Supernatural had been a favorite of mine. You can blame my older sister. I remember when seasons one through five or so aired, I loved them and their kind of folklore aspect. Afterwards I kind of lost interest for a few seasons (college 😆) and then jumped back in and out, disinterested mainly due to the overarching storyline. But it's still one of my favorite shows. However "Burn Notice" is probably my favorite show.

I'd maintain the first five seasons are pretty good. Wraps everything up in a nice little bow then it... keeps going.

I was obsessed with supernatural as a teenager, love hearing your quirky commentary on it do more pls❤

I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm giving this a thumbs up for your pain and suffering because that is the only way KZfaq allows me to console you in this troubling time of having watched this show in its entirety.

I miss the monster hunting aspect. The exploration of these creature's lore and such. *[SPOILERS]* But in later seasons they get a little lost in the sauce with more theological aspects of the world. To the point where it goes from a Von Hellsing feeling show to more a modern divine comedy type odyssey. Like Paradise Lost, Dante's Inferno, or... Hellava Boss? It focuses on Heaven and Hell. Exploring their own lore and concepts on it. Which does feel like a different show with the same loveable characters. I get that they felt the need to keep raising the stakes in the story. So you can only go to a cosmic level at some point. So the monsters of the week start to disappear. Both takes of Supernatural are so good in their own right. I feel like fand usually have a favorite side. I liked the original von Hellsing bad assary the most. But the later seasons added such amazing characters, so I can never say one is firmly better than the other. The one golden through line of the series are characters and their dynamics. Which was always my favorite part. I vibe with the brotherly love, even when they are frustrating and chronically keeping something from the other. Which is usually out of love for their brothers, because they want their brother to experience some peace of mind in their chaotic lives. Which is always peril.

Honey, you got a big storm coming 😎😉🤣

just a fun fact: when you were comparing SPN to westerns and called sam and dean cowboys, jared and jensen are both from texas and jared is now the lead in the reboot of walker texas ranger so right on the money

When you said, "Comment below, when did YOU stop watching walking dead?" I laughed so loudly, my Fiancee came downstairs to check on me. Answer: The fact that I cannot place exactly where I stopped, is a testament as to why. Love your work, Billiam; thanks for Creating!

Time for a part 2 to 14 for each other season just for Billiam to see how nuts this show gets and how they not only jump the shark but the shark is a robot with a flamethrower strapped to each fin and a minigun on it's forehead.

Supernatural was the first show I watched over and over on netflix then followed all the way to the end.

Billiam is just the early 2000s version of BasicallyHomeless

My friends in middle school were obsessed with this show. Like middle and highschoolers we’re keeping this show alive. My only thoughts when my friends brought it up was “how is that show still on?”

There was a point in time when CW realized they were just making what was basically American Tokusatsu shows and just ran with it.

I know it was a little more "monster of the week," but I really remember liking the first season or two of Supernatural. It felt more like every episode was it's own b horror movie.

I used to watch it with my mom in 2005 when I was ten. I remember it being on the tv at a lot of my familie's friends homes just playing in the background. I'm working on watching all of it in order now.

Great video! I’ll just say that there are certain points in the later story where characters make major decisions or have major reactions that are completely out of character and then will contradict themselves sometimes 5 minutes later

I do kind of wish we were in the universe where it ended at season 1 and we just had this show about the futility of trying to pull yourself together and fight for yourself and those around you cuz life will still take you out but I'm also glad I got to see 15 years of what we got

Supernatural is easily one of my favorite experiences for watching the really good first part of a show, dipping out for several seasons, and then coming back to a manic dumpster fire. Really has a lot in common with GoT in that regard.

I used watch Supernatural a lot when I was a kid, new episodes and reruns. My cousins were really into it, and I mainly watched it because it came after the latest episode of Smallville. It's crazy to think how long this show was on the air. To give you an idea of how long this show, when it started in 2005, I was in kindergarten. By the time it ended in 2020, I was in college by then.

I fell off watching Supernatural as it became harder to watch as it aired and it was getting a bit long towards the end there. I really liked it. I plan on going back and actually watching it through some day. There were definitely some missteps for me over the long course of the show, but when it worked it worked well.

Man, 4 or five more episodes will be perfect. The show was great for a bunch of seasons, then not bad for a few, then awful for a few and then it ramped up got good for while and ended on a fairly high note. Im looking forward to Billiam's reaction to the less great seasons

Fun fact, Kripke initially wanted the series to end at season 5 (which I still think was the perfect ending, even if a lot of good shit came after).

I think that a great way to get whiplash would be to watch only the first and last season of supernatural, I'm curious as to what that does to a person

While I really didnt like the way the show ended and how some of the really strong characters were written out, this is still one of my favourite television series. The early seasons grabbed me instantly with how they blended horror so well into a network show. As a big fan is the x files, the monster of the week style episodes were a big reason I stayed tuned in even through the later seasons when the main plot lost its momentum.

Supernatural is one of my comfort binge shows, along with house. I've watched it through 3 times.

this and doctor who were 2 of my favorite live action shows. i didn't get into it until i saw reruns of it on tnt like a decade ago. season 4 is what got me into it. but i really wish they continued the anime. i really liked it.

I caught the show back when it originally aired with my younger sisters. We loved seasons 1 - 5. My favorite episode was the Scarecrow pagan god. My sister's favorite was the episode where Death has a meal with Dean, and the sequence of his introduction (it had a really fitting song, can't remember the name at the moment.) Anyway, I dropped the show after Sam fell into Lucifer's cage. My sisters continue watching until the very end. I remember seeing a few on and off episodes here and there and wondering "How is this the same show!? lmao?" It was fun, different; but fun nonetheless. Edit: 1:58 Holy shit! is that [the actress who played] Agent Shaw in "Person of Interest"?

Supernatural is still, to this day, my favorite TV Show. My wife and I have watched every episode.

I used to be obsessed with this show and used to catch it on tv and then binge it when I was a teen. I got bored after season 10 it started going downhill and i couldn't continue

Do this, but with the show “ONCE UPON A TIME”

Man, i stopped watching this show in season 7 and for some reason my brain is rejecting the thought of continuing it. So I'm happy to know that you're covering all of the seasons. Can't wait

That's how you promote your next video, say you're doing this one for context for the next one. Perfect writing.

First 2 seasons genuinely have excellent scary episodes. Phenomenal tv horror. The only season that everyone acknowledged as trash entirely is the leviathan season.
