The plot Estranged brothers Sam (Gilmore Girls' Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Smallville's Jensen Ackles) are reunited when their ghostbusting father mysteriously disappears. The Winchester boys jump into their Chevy Impala and use Dad's old journal (conveniently full of interesting monster FAQs) to track him down, while vanquishing some nasty demons along the way. The search for dear old Dad also brings up lingering questions about their mother's spooky, fiery demise years earlier. It's just like Scooby-Doo, but darkerand without a talking dog.
Why we love it Not since The X-Files has a show reveled so successfully in giving us goose bumps. "It's an actual scary movie every week," says Ackles. And it definitely doesn't hurt that the two leads are hardly kennel-club material. The self-serious pilot left us a little worried, but over the last month, Supernatural has lightened up a bit and evolved into one of the best of this season's bump-in-the-night productions.
What's next More meetings with classic campfire-story villains. "We investigate the hook man who kills the teenagers on Lover's Lane," says Padalecki. "And we go into shape-shifters, and one takes over Dean." Plus, what horror show is complete without a trip to a haunted insane asylum? There will also be a return to the brothers' home in an episode called, appropriately enough, "Home," airing this November. "Now there's a family living in that house and that family is undergoing inexplicable phenomena," teases creator--executive producer Eric Kripke. "The guys not only have to save this family, they have to delve into the mystery of their own lives."
WHO YOU NEED TO KNOW
SAM WINCHESTER (Jared Padalecki) The brother haunted and motivated by his girlfriend's recent murder.
DEAN WINCHESTER (Jensen Ackles) Impulsive and wisecracking, he is Mulder to Sam's Scully.
JOHN WINCHESTER (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) The boys' father schooled them in demonology but is currently missing. The sons have few leads.
WHAT IT'S UP AGAINST
ABC -- Commander in Chief CBS -- The Amazing Race Fox -- House NBC -- My Name Is Earl / The Office UPN -- Sex, Love & Secrets
