 How A Show Manages To Succeed Despite Its Network 07 Mar 2008
Building a following for a TV show in its third season isn’t easy — especially if the show is part of a paranormal genre containing a mythology arc that has been slowly developing since season one. Another obstacle would be if it’s on a low-rated network that many people have either never heard of, or forgot was there. So, when a hidden gem that fits into both categories exists, it’s up to loyal fans to get the word out. So far, that has been the main key to this show’s success.

 'Supernatural' is a cult hit 29 Feb 2008
The CW's "Supernatural" faces a firing squad every Thursday night, airing opposite such hits as "CSI," "The Office" and "Lost." But producer-writer Eric Kripke would rather talk about the fact that the show, in its third season, has become a cult hit.

The drama about demon-busting brothers Dean and Sam Winchester (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki), has won such a following that the show has fan groups across the country, a fan magazine, comic books and paperback novels, a book of mythology, calendars and a role-playing game. There are dozens of websites devoted to the show, created by the fans themselves.

"I used to spend hours a week reading them," Kripke admits. "There were times I let it get me down if even three people hated a show. Now, I hopscotch around and look for a consensus. That lets me know if we did well or we stunk."

 Eric Kripke Talks About Supernatural 14 Feb 2008
Literally, as he makes his way back in to work for the first time since the writer's strike to chat with fellow writers about the last four episodes of this season, Eric Kripke takes time to chat with ACED about The CW's super show, Supernatural. (Yes, I do mean four MORE episodes THIS season).

This season of the show follows the Winchester brothers across the country in their attempt to wage a war against hell itself. Fighting against some of the nastiest demons around, Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) learn a lot about hell-on-earth, as well as the fire within.

 'Supernatural' Creator Talks about Going Up Against 'Lost' 03 Feb 2008
In a recent interview with Kristin at E!Online, creator Eric Kripke revealed his feelings on the Bela and Ruby controversy, what it feels like to go up against Lost, and what chance the show has of returning for another season or two.

I recommend checking it out! Not very spoilery!


 Season 3 Shaping Up! 03 Aug 2007
All the Supernatural estrogen provoked anxiety is apparently for nothing. Tracking it back, we can debate all day long just who it was that put the idea in the publics mind that the two new female characters coming to Supernatural were ‘love interests' or ‘girl friend' potentials, but one thing is for sure: the new season of Supernatural is definitely shaping up to be the best yet, new chicks and all.


We can't say we weren't part of the conga line of sexual innuendo involving Ruby and Bela, but does it even matter who started the rumors? If I had to point a finger, it would be in the direction of whoever wrote the casting sides that circulated around the net. At lease one of those scenes contained some blatant sexuality, but if Kripke says it isn't so that is good enough for me.


 Supernatural Exec: "We Won't Be One Tree Hill with Monsters!" 23 Jul 2007
This is what I love about kripke. Hes like an excited fan, rather then a big bluecollar exec that talks all technical, says he loves the fan, but really doesn't care. Kripke does. This article really answers all the questions about the recent cast additions, the vanishing of Jo, and season 3. check it out. I bet you'll feel calmer after. you rock, kripke. Snp trusts ya.

All hell has broken loose in the Supernatural community. Ever since news leaked that the show was introducing two new shagadelic female series regulars
this coming season, fans have inundated me with hundreds of angry
e-mails. Their chief concern: In a bid to broaden the serial thriller's
appeal, CW brass are forcing producers to bimbofy the show, hence the
two new lady killers (played by Katie Cassidy and Lauren Cohan). In an
exclusive interview, series creator Eric Kripke addressed the
controversy head-on, clearing the air about the changes ahead and
offering a preview of what he's calling "the best season of Supernatural yet."

Fans are in a bit of a tizzy.
Eric Kripke:
First of all, I love our fans. I love them to death. I love how
passionate they are. But they tend to worry unnecessarily. They tend to
get stressed before they have a chance to judge the finished product.
We are so conscious and aware of our fans. We're making the show for
the fans; we're not making the show for the network. We would never do
anything to betray them. I'm not saying we're perfect. I'm not saying
we don't make mistakes. But we're very conscious and aware. And when we
do make mistakes, we course-correct. So if I can get any message
to them, it's, 'Don't worry. We're making choices based on what's best
creatively for the show.'


 No More Jo? 23 Jul 2007
I ran into Alona Tal at the CBS party, and since we get so many emails asking if her character Jo would be returning to Supernatural, I asked them what was going on with her future on the show. Alona's husband told
me that Jensen Ackles told him, "If there was a way to get her back he
would do it." And Alona told me, "The last thing I heard was that it
hadn't worked out the way that the producers had expected, because I
look apparently like their 14-year-old sister. I honestly don't know
what's going to happen, but if I had the chance, I would love to go
back to Supernatural." For now, though, you can get your Alona fix from Cane, where she's set to be a regular, playing the girlfriend of a Duque son.

 The CW Press Tour 21 Jul 2007
At this morning's executive session, the CW's head of programming Dawn Ostroff stressed the CW's commitment to creating the hits of tomorrow, and punctuated that by parading the networks lineup of dubious reality programming. Among them, the surprise announcement that America's Next Top Model has been renewed through the 2010 season. Talk about foresight!

In other news, the CW will be tweaking the formula to Beauty and the Geek this year by adding one hot dude and one geeky girl to the mix.

Ostroff announced that the winner of last year's Pussycat Dolls contest has decided to pursue a solo career rather than join the troupe. Even though that is sort of a failure for the intent of the show, the CW will be moving ahead with a new season.

Amongst the groundbreaking new content on the horizon for the CW is Crowned: The Mother of all Pageants. A reel was unveiled for the series and reporters were taken aback by the stage moms on crack overtones of the mother daughter beauty competition. Nepotism is one of the few bad human traits to be explored in bleeding edge reality though, so hats off. (And brains out.) Then of course there is Farmer Wants a Wife. Okay, we're just not going to go there.


 Kripke Comments "more bad than good" on the new Girls 21 Jul 2007
The announcement of Supernatural's
two newest cast additions was controversial to be sure. Supernatural
fans were as vocal as ever in reacting to the addition of two female
leads to work side by side with Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles).
Most of that uproar came from the notion that the girls may be
positioned as love interests, combined with the seemingly low brow
attempt at a fleshy ratings grab. Through the controversy, Supernatural's creator Eric Kripke has been relatively silent about the new additions. Today, that silence was broken.


It is the CW's turn to take television critics on a press tour,
and as you might have guessed the network and the shows creative staff
can no longer dodge the controversy.



Studio exec Dawn Ostroff managed to evade any heavy questions about the
casting additions, mostly by shrewdly combining the casting news with
that of Smallville's Laura Vandervoort. Since Supergirl is a legitimate part of the superman mythology, Smallville fans are not nearly as broken up about having a pretty face thrown at them.


 supernatural's new love interests revealed! 19 Jun 2007
Since the report that Supernatural was adding two ‘hot’ female regulars to the cast, the show’s fan community has been on fire with protest, praise, and a slight breeze of neutrality. In the time since the controversial Supernatural casting move was reported, we’ve managed to get our hands on the casting sides, bits of script used to audition actors and actresses, and have learned a few things about the characters. Beware, spoilers ahead.

The Mercenary is named “Bela,” a hard drinking, crass, and focused tough girl with an admittedly soft interior. In the sides - which may or may not be part of an actual script – Bela is meeting Dean (Jensen Ackles) to discuss the crystal skull. When Dean refuses to sell the artifact, Bela replies with “Look, you think I’m some heartless mercenary? Hey, I cry every time I see ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ I’m just playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played. There’s no good or evil… there’s just different points of view. It’s just business.”

Bela clearly is not indoctrinated to the battle that is waging between the hunters and the forces of evil. As far as romantic sparks go, the three page scene is pretty devoid of anything remotely flirtatious.

The same can’t be said for the scene with Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Ruby, the female hunter. She is more seasoned than Sam, who is grappling with the fact that he had to kill two demon possession victims. She has a tougher stance, actually using the words “war” and “collateral damage.” That scene closes with definite sexual overtures from Ruby “It’s kinda… well, romantic, don’t you think? Very ‘Casablanca.’ What do you think , Sam… we don’t know if we’ll be alive tomorrow… so what should we do tonight?”

The fact that each character is matched with a specific brother might indicate that they are thinking either pairing might produce romantic sparks. Further confirmation of the intent to introduce “love interests” came from Kristin at E!Online who verified scoopage that at least one brother would become romantically involved with one of the girls.

So, what do you think about this change now that you know a little more about the characters? Good, bad, indifferent? Sound off in the comments. For a more permanent record of your point of view visit our poll in the forums How do you feel about the addition of two "Love Interests."

 A play better than good 10 Jun 2007
FORT WORTH -- The good news is that there was a full house for Tuesday's opening night of Aaron Sorkin's court-martial drama A Few Good Men at Casa Mañana's dome space, which hasn't happened often enough -- and it was for a long play that requires attentive listening (no matter how often you've seen the 1992 movie).

The better news is that this hyped production -- thanks to stars Lou Diamond Phillips (as Col. Nathan Jessep) and TV actor Jensen Ackles (Lt. j.g. Daniel Kaffee) of Supernatural in his professional stage debut -- lives up to expectations.

It wasn't flawless; the production took nearly a third of the first act to fully warm up. But once it got there, intensity remained at appropriate levels throughout. The other actors rose to the challenge of being as memorable as their famous co-stars, notably local actress Lydia Mackey (as Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway), who dug into subtle layers of humanity beneath a steely exterior.

Director Elliot Wasserman paced the proceedings (including set changes) briskly in this story of Navy lawyers defending two Marines (nicely played by Jerome Bethea and Justin Arnold) on a charge of questionable military activities at Guantanamo Bay (not relevant at all, is it?).

If Phillips came off at times as too easily provoked into anger, then you're thinking of Jack Nicholson more than the character. Ackles started off nervously but quickly settled in and handled the military and law jargon (and a few comic lines) like a pro, with minor bobbles.

Best news: This production erased, temporarily at least, the memory of the movie, which happens when stage actors make the roles their own.

A Few Good Men

7:30 p.m. today and Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, and 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday

Casa Mañana Theatre, 3101 W. Lancaster Ave., Fort Worth

$30-$59

Be advised: Contains strong language.

Run time: Two hours, 50 minutes with one intermission.

Best reason to go: Ben Rauch as Lt. Sam Weinberg. Like the underrated Kevin Pollak in the movie, Rauch makes fully dimensional a role that could be simply comic relief. But he has convictions as strong as any military person should.

 Casa meets its goal of a few good audiences 03 Jun 2007
FORT WORTH -- Certain goals can take years to reach, but getting there is usually worth the wait.

That goes for a big one set early on by Casa Mañana's president and executive producer, Denton Yockey, who will celebrate 10 years here in September: He wanted to revive ticket sales for adult dramas produced under Casa's historic dome.

Yockey may have found the answer at last in casting well-known TV and film actors, as he has done with Aaron Sorkin's Navy courtroom drama, A Few Good Men, which begins a weeklong run Tuesday and features Lou Diamond Phillips and a young star of the CW's Supernatural, Jensen Ackles. Casa hasn't had much box-office success at the dome in recent years, especially not since the space was renovated -- quite controversially -- from an arena to a proscenium/thrust format in 2003. Even before that, and before Casa's patrons started saving their money for shows at Bass Hall instead, audiences had been in decline.

The first, and so far only, adult season at the renovated dome was in 2003-04, and it was a bust with audiences. That series' bestselling show, a tour of the play The Exonerated with big names Kathleen Turner and Lyle Lovett, sold only 40 percent of the house, which holds 1,100 seats. The other productions, the musicals Summer of '42 and Desperate Measures, and a top-notch staging of the Pulitzer- and Tony-winning play Proof performed by Houston's esteemed Alley Theatre, sold even less.

Perhaps some theatergoers were still bitter about the renovation from the long-favored in-the-round set-up, or maybe an anti-death-penalty play was always going to be a hard sell in Texas. Still, with stars like Turner and Lovett, it should have been a hit.

"I didn't know why we couldn't make a drama work," Yockey says now. "It's the same amount of tickets Circle [Theatre] or Stage West would sell [for an entire run of one show], but it makes a big house look empty."

A Few Good Men is selling very well: As of press time, about 75 percent of seats had been sold for its eight performances.

Among the reasons: the work's wide familiarity. The play, a Broadway hit in 1989, became certifiably huge after the Oscar-nominated 1992 film with Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson that produced one of the most quoted lines in film history: "You can't handle the truth!"

Handle this truth: The other big factor here is star casting.

Phillips says he had such a great experience performing in Casa Mañana's The King and I at Bass Hall last year that he signed up for Men shortly afterward. His high profile also helped lure another above-the-title name from the TV and film world: Ackles. Yockey saw him on The Jimmy Kimmel Show and later learned that the 29-year-old is from Richardson and that his father is a local actor.

The younger Ackles has spent the past decade working in TV, including three years on Days of Our Lives and recurring roles in Dark Angel,Dawson's Creek and Smallville. He hit Los Angeles at age 18 and landed a job on a short-lived sitcom a week after he arrived.

Yockey knew Ackles' work from Dark Angel and Smallville, and recognized his potential for bringing the same mix of cockiness and impossible good looks that Cruise brought to Lt. Daniel Kaffee in A Few Good Men.

Thanks to Ackles' fan base, some tickets have been sold to people coming from as far away as Canada, Germany and Britain. Gene Almy, Casa's director of sales and marketing, projected that more than 90 percent of available tickets would sell by the end of the run.

All of this is not to say that Casa's dome hasn't seen any healthy audiences since the big change. Its Children's Playhouse sells well, sometimes nearing 80 percent for popular shows. And three imports have done respectable-to-good business -- weeklong runs of Greater Tuna (57 percent sold) and Red, White and Tuna (70 percent), which are always popular in Texas; and four performances of the Bob Wills musical A Ride With Bob, which featured Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel (77 percent).

But the lesson Yockey has learned is that Casa's future self-produced shows, particularly dramas, need to have a big name or two attached.

This is nothing new in the theater world: Broadway and regional-theater producers have the same aim. And decades ago, Casa packed 'em in with names like Ruta Lee and Gavin MacLeod, star of The Love Boat and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Expect Yockey to continue casting outside stars in future dome shows, using local actors when he can (Men's only female role, the Demi Moore character, is played by terrific local actress Lydia Mackey).

A Few Good Men's combo-punch of Ackles, Phillips and a well-known title has clarified Casa Mañana's future at the dome.

In short, it'll help take care of that second word in the phrase "show business."

A Few Good Men

7:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday;

8 p.m. Friday; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday;

2 and 7 p.m. June 10

 Ackles tackles familiar role in Casa's 'Men' 03 Jun 2007
When the Star-Telegram arranged an interview with Jensen Ackles, it was to talk about Supernatural, his underrated CW series about demon-hunting brothers. After the interview was set up and before it took place, Casa Mañana announced that the Richardson-reared actor would be joining another Texas native, Lou Diamond Phillips, in a production of Aaron Sorkin's A Few Good Men, which begins Tuesday at Casa.

Ackles and his Supernatural co-star, Jared Padalecki, who are in almost every scene of each episode of the Vancouver-filmed show, are among the hardest-working actors on TV -- but that's nothing compared with the challenge A Few Good Men poses for Ackles, who recently turned 29 and hasn't stepped onstage in a long time. He talked about that challenge, his background and -- like a typical Texan -- sports and heat, during the non-Supernatural parts of the interview.

So -- think you can fill Tom Cruise's shoes?
My biggest trepidation is finding my own take on it. I'm so familiar with the movie that when I'm reading lines, I keep hearing the movie's version in my head. Trying to shake that out of my head and bringing my own take to the role is going to be my biggest challenge. Not to mention memorizing all those lines.

You did some modeling when you were a kid; did you also do theater?
Basically what happened is my dad is an actor in Dallas. He does a lot of radio and television down there, and when I was a young kid he brought me into the agency and the ladies were like, 'Ohhh, we should get him in the print department.' So that's kinda how that started. So then as I got older and realized that I was completely embarrassed about the stuff I was doing, I begged my mom to [let me] quit. So she finally let me quit. I was probably about 14 years old or something. I think I did one Nabisco commercial, and that was about it.

So when did this actually turn into an acting gig?
I did some theater in high school, and there happened to be a talent manager from Los Angeles -- [he] was from Dallas, and he was back in town visiting friends. He came to one of the performances and saw me and liked me and kinda gave me his spiel afterward, and I told him to take a hike. Knowing my dad and knowing the industry as much as I did, I knew it was a crapshoot to come out to Los Angeles. But he was insistent and he persuaded me to come out after I finished high school, and I thought, 'What the heck? I'll go out there for a few months and see what it's like.' And that was 11 years ago.

I know you're a big Cowboys fan. Do you follow all the Dallas sports?
Mainly just the Mavs and the 'boys. Actually, living up in Canada, the crew up there has been dying for me to get into hockey. During our lunches sometimes, we play a little street hockey on one of the empty stages on the lot. I actually did watch the Dallas Stars-Vancouver Canucks series just so these people would stop talking trash to me. But they ended up winning, so I kinda had to back down.

Which do you prefer -- Texas summers or Vancouver winters?
[Laughs.] Well, I've dealt with both of 'em for a number of years, and to be honest, it's six of one, half-dozen of the other. I'm not quite sure which one, but I am looking forward to being with my family again. It's a delicate balance, because I have a life [in Vancouver]. I don't get to [come back home] very much. Last week, my girlfriend asked if I was dusting off my house, because it's pretty much been shut down for nine months. It's a sacrifice, but it's a good problem to have. ...

The nice thing about going home is the lack of responsibility that comes with it. Anybody who's got a mother like mine knows that when they go home, they just get taken care of. So I'm kinda looking forward to that.

Watch Ackles in Supernatural, airing in reruns at 8 p.m. Thursdays on KDAF/Channel 33 and returning for a third season in the fall.

 Jensen Ackles Headed To First-ever Supernatural Convention 11 May 2007

SUPERNATURAL being up against top rated shows like ABC’s Greys Anatomy and CBS’ CSI is a reality cast members, as well as fans of the show, are currently faced with. With the questionable renewal of the series for a third season, many of its actors are doing their part in supporting the show. Last month, Jared PAdalecki, cast member who plays Sam Winchester on Supernatural, has encouraged fans to spread the word and promote CW’s paranormal series. To further branch out, actor Jensen Ackles will be headed to London next week for the first-ever Supernatural convention.

“Next week, I'm headed to London for the first-ever Supernatural convention. So I'm anxiously awaiting that to see how we're received there. But the fans have been great. When we started, we knew the show was going to be hit or miss, and we needed to find a core audience to really make us survive. And I think we've been able to do that,” said Ackles in an interview with AOL.


 supernatural looks at what if? 06 Apr 2007
Jensen Ackles, star of The CW's horror series Supernatural, told SCI FI Wire that an upcoming episode will provide a glimpse into the lives Dean (Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) Winchester might have led had their mother not been killed by a demon years earlier. "What Is and What Should," the 20th episode of the show's sophomore season, was written and directed by creator and executive producer Eric Kripke and will air on May 3. In it, a demon genie, called a djinn, provides the unusual opportunity for Dean to see what might have been.

"So you're kind of thrust into this parallel universe of Dean and Sam and Mom and Dad and everybody and what it would have been like if all of that stuff had not happened 20-some-odd years ago," Ackles said in an interview. "It's really interesting, and it was interesting for me, because I'm used to playing this character in a certain light, and I've become very comfortable in that position, playing this character. And now all of a sudden you're taking the actor out of the comfort zone."

Ackles added: "It was really difficult, and I was glad that Eric Kripke was directing the episode, because it was just very helpful to have the writer and creator of the show guide me, emotionally, through what I needed to do in the episode. So, for me, it was a fairly tough episode." Supernatural airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

 Supernatural Stars Flattered By Fan Devotion 08 Feb 2007
Although it’s up against powerhouse shows CSI and Grey’s Anatomy on Thursday nights, the CW series Supernatural still manages to hang onto its loyal fan base, which is a testament to the hard work of the two lead actors, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. To tell the story of brothers Sam (Padalecki) and Dean (Ackles) Winchester, as they battle mysterious and demonic supernatural forces, the two actors work such long hours together that they have become like brothers off set as well.

Ackles and Padalecki spoke with MediaBlvd Magazine about what it’s like to do their own stunts, what scares them in real life, and how they both had the same celebrity crush when they were younger.

MediaBlvd Magazine> How do you feel about how the series has progressed, to this point?
Jensen Ackles> In the beginning, that was something that I thought about quite a bit, as far as where it was going to go and where these characters’ journey lied. It’s really comforting to know that the producers have a really nice plan. At least, I’d like to think they’ve got this nice big road map in their office, and everything is planned out. And, it’s really gone according to plan. That helps us out as actors, playing what we need to, from week to week, and keeping that consistent with where we need to be going. I’m thrilled with the way it’s been going, and I think it’s only going to get better.
Jared Padalecki> In the first season, there’s a learning curve for everybody. The actors are finding the characters, and the writers and creator are finding out what’s working, what’s not working, who’s doing well with the dialogue and who’s doing well with the story. It feels like a well-oiled machine now. I remember sometimes, last season, getting a script or just showing up on the day of filming and thinking, “I feel like I’m starting from the beginning. It feels like it’s day one of the pilot, all of a sudden.” And, it’s definitely not like that this year. That goes with everybody getting more comfortable. I’m so proud of what’s happened so far, in the second season. I think we’re pushing the envelope. I love that (creator/writer/executive producer) Eric Kripke and the rest of the writers aren’t answering questions with more questions, so much as they’re actually getting something done. There’s nothing that frustrates me more, as a fan of television shows, when it feels like they’re toying with you. I’ve been really happy with the second season.

MediaBlvd> You aren’t the highest-rated show in your time slot, but you do have a dedicated following. Does that make it any easier for you?
Jensen> The cool thing about the sci-fi fans, and people who watch that genre of television, is that they’re very dedicated, they’re very avid and they’re super-loyal. Last year, and maybe the year before that, a lot of networks tried to deal with something of the supernatural, and not a lot of things clicked. I feel very lucky to be a part of something that actually did. And, I’m very, very happy to see those audience members latch onto that a little bit. I hope that they tell their friends, who also like that stuff, which can help us out. Thursday nights are deadly. It really kills us. Jared and I truly work our asses off, every day, and every week, for nine months out of the year, and we take a distant backseat to the other shows that are on at the same time.

MediaBlvd> Do you wish the show could air on a different night of the week?
Jensen> It’s television, and it’s part of the business, but to say it’s not frustrating would be a bit of a lie. Just to know that Jared and I are the two series leads, and we work so hard and so diligently, and then to hear about how so and so was vacationing in Tahiti, during the season, or that so and so was in Hawaii, hanging out on the beach on their day off, is frustrating. I get excited about not being in the last scene of the day, much less having two or three days off. It’s really hard to get those ratings every week and be like, “Oh, we did all that work for something that’s so far behind!” But, at the end of the day, those numbers are just numbers, and I’m proud when I go home.
Jared> We’re in the toughest time slot in the history of television. We have the number one and the number two show, on our night, in our hour of television. We’re trying our damnedest, and we have some really devout, loyal fans. We’re still getting a couple million people, every week, watching our show, which is so flattering. I’ve caught an episode of CSI and I’ve caught an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, and they’re great shows. No one can deny that. But, to know that people are still tuning into us, is really flattering and helps inspire me to keep on working.

MediaBlvd> Is it important to your on screen relationship that you and Jared get along so well in real life?
Jensen> I think it’s incredibly important. I don’t think the show would have succeeded the way that it has, had he and I not bonded the way we did. I can’t imagine working with somebody that I didn’t get along with. In almost 40 episodes, he and I have come at each other one time, and that was just because we were super tired and super strung-out. Immediately following, I went into his trailer, it was squashed, we gave each other a hug and it was done. We’re truly like brothers. I pick on him and he fights back. It’s a very comraderic type of relationship. I’m very proud to know him and I hope he feels the same. I think it’s a very cool aspect of the show that we get along the way we do.
Jared> I think it was pretty effortless. We’re pretty similar. We have similar interests and similar hobbies, and we’re both pretty laid-back guys. We take our work very seriously. We like to work on our characters, like to have a good time and like to keep the mood on the set fun. We just clicked. I’ve definitely worked with my share of people, and I’m sure Jensen has too, where I’ve just been like, “Oh, man, I’m going to work again. I’ve just got to keep my tongue in my mouth and not say anything that’s going to come back to bite me, or just shut my mouth and do my work.” But, we have a great time. We have a fantastic crew, up in Vancouver, and it’s just been pretty organic.
Jensen> I think it’s also just the common love we share for this show. We really look out for each other when we’re working with guest directors or whatnot. We truly want this to be a great program, so when we’re working, if I see something that he’s doing, or he sees something that I’m doing, we’re able to talk to each other and say, “I think we’re missing a beat here.” It’s really neat to have that relationship with your co-star. It’s very rare as well.

MediaBlvd> Does anything freaky or supernatural ever happen to you on the set?
Jared> Not a whole lot. I don’t want to take away any of the magic or anything, but it’s a set. If it comes across supernatural, freaky, weird and creepy, then it’s because the crew and the director have done such a great job of making it look like that. When you’re there, you show up on set and people are eating muffins and oranges, and drinking Starbucks. There are crew guys talking about this, and cast members talking about that, and directors with their little video monitors. It’s a real production, so everything spooky and creepy can be chalked up to them.

MediaBlvd> Do the producers let you know what’s going to be happening with your characters, or are you just as surprised as the audience?
Jared> Eric Kripke and the producers don’t tell Jensen and I a whole lot about our character arcs, or what we’re doing in the next episode. I think they like keeping Jensen and I in the same boat as Sam and Dean. We don’t know what we’re doing next week, we don’t know where we’re going to be next month, and we have no idea what’s going to happen. They keep us living that life, and we act well by default. We really don’t know what’s going on. We’re more than 40 episodes in now, and we’re starting to explore and play around, and I’m really excited about it.
Jensen> They keep a lot from us. But, I can tell you, from what I do know, from what we’ve filmed, we just finished filming a very comedic episode, which I’m in love with just because I love comedy. I think it’s going to be a nice refresher for the series. There’s also a lot of progression, as far as the mythology goes. And, at the same time, we’re not going to lose sight of what we do, day in and day out, and that’s scare the hell out of you. It’s still going to very much be like that. And, Dean definitely took a layer of the onion back this season. He’s been geared into a different direction, and I think it’s really cool for him that he’s not necessarily the hard-assed, closed off son-of-a-bitch that he likes to think he is. He truly cares about his family, he truly cares about his brother, and he’s truly concerned about the future of his brother and what lies ahead for him. I think that that’s really going to unleash a lot of emotional aspects of the character, which I’m really looking forward to playing. As an actor, that’s the stuff we truly live for. Eric Kripke has been doing a fantastic job and he’s been giving me a lot to play with, both dramatic and comedic. I feel very fortunate to be a part of the show, and I feel extremely fortunate to be playing Dean.

MediaBlvd> There’s a lot of dark stuff on the show, but there’s also a lot of funny stuff.
Jensen> It’s a delicate balance between the heavy drama and the comedy, and I think that’s one thing that our show touches on very evenly. Sometimes, we weigh in on one aspect one week, and the next week we’ll weigh in on something else. Personally, I was super attracted to the role of Dean, from the beginning, because he harnesses a little bit of that comedic personality. Just as far as my own personality goes, I love comedy. To be able to integrate that into a character is something that I’m super proud of and super excited about. So, whenever they write these comedic episodes, I really get excited about it.

MediaBlvd> Do you have any guest stars coming up?
Jensen> We just did an episode with Tricia Helfer. She’s got a nice little celebrity spread in Playboy this month, not that I’ve looked. Being a part of Battlestar Galactica for so long, she was very big on that show, and she’s an extreme talent, too. She’s really good. I think the guest stars are going to get increasingly better and better. We’ve had some amazing people on the show, and I think that that’s going to continually be a quest of the show, to keep bringing on people of high quality.

MediaBlvd> Sam and Dean take a lot of road trips on Supernatural. What was the best road trip you’ve ever taken in real life?
Jared> I’ve made the drive from California to Texas quite a bit. One time, I went with my girlfriend and my dogs, and it was just relaxing. We’d stop at some rest stops and play catch with the dogs, and ate way too much food. We’d stop at a gas station and buy enough food for 12 days, and it would be gone in 300 miles. So, the next gas station we’d stop at, we’d be like, “Okay, more chips and jerky.”

MediaBlvd> How have you been able to maintain a long distance relationship?
Jared> It was a tough transition, but two years into it now, it’s easy. She’ll come up and visit on set, and she knows all the crew and everybody loves her. I’m going to be spending some time with her this weekend, since I’m down here, in L.A. So, it’s basically a lot of time spent in airports, and a lot of long distance phone bills.

MediaBlvd> What’s the last thing you’ve done to simplify your life?
Jared> I offered to have my best friend come up and stay with me in Vancouver, not really as an assistant, but to watch my dogs and help me out, if I have some phone calls to answer and whatnot. A lot of times, when I have 15 or 16 hour days on the set, I don’t have the chance to run with my dogs for three or four miles. So, instead of waking up two hours early to get them outside, he’ll do it for me. That was probably the best thing I’ve done.

MediaBlvd> What scares you in real life? Are you squeamish about anything?
Jensen> I’ve got to be honest, the things that we deal with on set don’t necessarily creep me out. I don’t know if that’s just being a part of it and having it be tangible, or putting my hands into a bucket of worms and dealing with that, or getting blood shoved down my nose and into my sinuses. That’s just a part of the job. There’s a certain sense of self-relinquishment when the cameras are rolling. They’ll say, “We want you to leap into a set of fixed chairs, and we’re going to give you an elbow pad and a knee pad,” and I’ll say, “That’s going to hurt like hell, but I’ll do it.” And then, all of a sudden, they yell, “Action!,” and I jump as hard as I can and I crack into these chairs, and I’m like, “Yeah, that didn’t hurt!” The next day I can’t walk straight, but it’s pretty cool on the day. It’s like this false sense of security that makes me think, “I’m not going to crash. I’m not going to die. I’m not going to get hurt.” It’s adrenalin. Tom Welling and I were playing golf this past summer, and we were talking about why we like playing golf and why we like acting. We came up with the fact that, whenever someone yells, “Action!,” it’s the same thing as taking a back swing, in that, at that moment in time, you have a chance to be great. You think, “This could be really cool. This could be really good.” I can hit a great shot and nail it right next to the cup, or I can nail my lines and do every moment that I was preparing and hit my mark and hit my light, and do everything that I wanted to do. When I do that for a stunt, there’s that similar high and adrenalin rush. I really enjoy that part of the job.

MediaBlvd> Do you have to train for all that action? And, do you go to the gym more, so that you can be in good shape?
Jensen> To be honest, the little time that Jared and I have off, much of it is spent in the gym, trying to stay somewhat healthy. It’s not even about trying to stay fit. It’s, literally, trying not to get sick. It’s the stamina factor of working 15 hours a day. Occasionally, we work out together, but we live in two different hotels, so he usually works out in the lobby of his hotel, and I work out in the lobby of my hotel. With our schedule, I’m lucky to get in three work-outs a week.

MediaBlvd> What music do you like to work out to?
Jensen> That changes weekly. Everything from classic rock, which is what my character listens to on the show, to country music to rock ‘n’ roll to pop-rock to alternative rock to just straight-up old school country, like Johnny Cash.
Jared> The latest music I work out to is probably Tool. It’s good and hard-core, and it’s enough to get your blood going.

MediaBlvd> What superpower would you want, if you could have one?
Jared> I’d love to be able to anamorph, so that I could morph into any animal, at any point in time. I’d love to be a deep sea creature and go down and see the depths of the ocean. If I was in trouble, I’d love to just turn into a bird and fly out of there. I would just love to escape. I would love the freedom of being an animal.

MediaBlvd> What’s the strangest dream you’ve had lately?
Jared> I had a weird dream, the other day, where I woke up and went, “What the hell was that?” I can’t remember exactly what it was, but I think I was getting chased around my grandmother’s house. I was with Jensen or one of my buddies, or something. I can’t remember exactly what was going on. But, I was getting chased in circles. I don’t know why.

MediaBlvd> At least she wasn’t on fire on the ceiling.
Jared> If I had one of those dreams, it would be time to call it quits. I’d retire. If I dream about someone on fire on the ceiling, it’s time to get out.

MediaBlvd> When does your hiatus begin, and do you have anything lined up yet?
Jensen> I think we start that the first week of April. It’s a little too soon to start locking down a project for hiatus. I’ll probably start looking at stuff in the next month or two. And, I’ll catch up on much-needed sleep. We have a publicity trip to Europe planned for May, but other than that, I plan on catching up with my friends and family.
Jared> Last year, this time of year, I was thinking, “Man, I’m just going to sleep for three months.” But, I ended up seeing my brother graduate med school, my buddy get married, my sister’s 21st birthday, and I traveled the world. This year, I’m actually looking forward to working. In a couple of months, I’ll start reading scripts and auditioning, and hopefully I’ll find something.

MediaBlvd> What shows are you watching on television right now?
Jared> I can’t catch any live shows, so the latest television I’ve been watching is the BBC Office and Arrested Development, and they both have me on the floor, crying from laughter. I haven’t caught a lot of the Steve Carell Office, but I’m enjoying the BBC Office. I can’t imagine liking anything more than that. It’s got to be my favorite comedy of all time. It’s hilarious.

MediaBlvd> Would you like to do a comedy?
Jared> I’d love to. After this show is done, no more serious parts for me. I want to laugh. I don’t want to cry anymore.

MediaBlvd> Did you have a celebrity crush when you were growing up?
Jared> If I did, I don’t remember. Princess Leia was later in life. That was more like high school. I was like, “Damn, get on ya, girl!” But, as a kid, I don’t know. I remember I liked Ashley Judd. I just thought she was so classy, beautiful and talented. I liked older women.
Jensen> When I was young, I used to love Ashley Judd ‘cause she was a southern girl and I was from Texas. Jared stole that from me. I’m older.

 Supernatural Returns with an Answer 06 Jan 2007
t’s been described by many as "The Hardy Boys Go Ghosthunting." The underestimation of this show is underlined by that title the media has given it. While it certainly evokes that feeling, there’s much more depth to this CW series than meets that lazy nickname. "Supernatural" stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki as Dean and Sam Winchester, two brothers on a mission to fight ghosts, demons, and things that go bump in the night. They save people while hunting these big scaries, and while that might sound much more like an episode of "Buffy," it sans the campy, sometimes kiddy feeling that kept that particular WB show from being taken more seriously.

The show has some great qualities reminiscent of "The X-Files" such as Mulder’s loss of his sister and his quest for answers and her abductees being equivocal to the loss the Winchester brothers suffered of their mother, who was inexplicably killed when they were infants by what they have since learned was a demon. Also, there is the loss of Sam’s girlfriend Jessica, which began his journey with his brother Dean to find the thing responsible for her death and destroy it. As Sam and Dean play Mulder and Scully off one another, the urban legends along with the unexplained and paranormal are all given a philosophical and somewhat scientific examination, re-evaluating rules and myths we think we know about creatures like vampires and hellhounds. There is kind of a touch of "Dukes of Hazzard" if you want to look at Sam and Dean as Luke and Bo, and their sweet ride, a black ’67 Chevy Impala, dubbed Metallicar within the show’s fanbase, as the General Lee. But, that says nothing for the show’s psychologically deep and rich characters, not to mention the show being a complex character itself as it has a life entirely its own.

But in terms of what this series is actually like, this is really the closest show to "The X-Files" that maintains a consistent level of quality, not to mention reality. Sam and Dean live in a world with rules, where they are bound by dark and deep-rooted issues and have to consider every angle, where Dean has a criminal charge against him that follows him everywhere and doesn’t conveniently go away, as seen in a special episode that aired this fall starring Linda Blair called "The Usual Suspects." This show doesn’t dismiss the world we live in or take it for granted, as some have complained about similar shows. The series comes from a cool new direction, which is exemplified by its classic rock soundtrack alone, which also showcases how it stands out from the rest. Many believe, and I agree, that it’s one of the most underrated shows on television, and it deserves the attention and credit that it has been earning more and more with each and every episode.

"Supernatural" is in fact a very serious show with its share of levity, pop culture, and unique spins on old tales. It gets lumped in with teen horror TV, but it’s written brilliantly and it’s acted wonderfully. And, this season it is outshining its fresh and exciting freshman season. In its second season, "Supernatural" has not only defied the sophomore slump, but it has excelled to the top of its game. Their father died in the Season Two premiere, trading his soul to the demon that killed his wife and their mother in order to save Dean’s life. And if that wasn’t enough, before dying, John Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, whom many, including myself, would love to see return to reprise his role in some way) revealed a secret about Sam to Dean, which Dean has kept to himself. Until now, that is. In the fall finale, Dean told the little brother he has always protected with his life that their father told him something about Sam. This was after Sam had been exposed to a demon virus and somehow proved immune, having shown signs of telekinesis and having visions linked to the demon that singled him out and killed the women who loved him.

That last new episode, "Croatoan" (another brilliant take on an unsolved mystery that piques the curiosity in us to this day), literally ended with a question, and when "Supernatural" returns this Thursday, January 11th on The CW at 9PM Eastern Time, Dean will be stuck having to provide an answer. What did John Winchester tell Dean about Sam and his true nature? We may not find out right away, but the start of Sam’s search for who or what he really is gets underway with the all new episode "Hunted" this week, right after an all new "Smallville." If you’re not already tuning in, give this one a chance, because you just might be very surprised by how this dark and intense yet fun show grabs you.

 Exclusive Interview: John Shiban, Executive Producer 06 Dec 2006
John Shiban recently granted us at BuddyTV the opportunity to speak with him about Supernatural, the popular sci-fi drama on The CW. Supernatural follows brothers Sam and Dean Winchester as they travel America in their 1967 Chevy Impala, encountering all sorts of Supernatural disturbances and foes along the way. John Shiban started out as a Staff Writer on X-Files and has been in the TV business for almost a decade. He is now a writer and executive producer on Supernatural.

Supernatural airs on Thursdays at 9PM ET/PT.

You landed a job on X-Files early in your career. How did you break into the TV business?
I went to film school at AFI, grad school, and intended to be a feature writer, to be honest. I went through the school writing program and met a bunch of people which is, ultimately, very important. And me and my buddies were all trying to get jobs after school in writing and a couple of years down the road I had written a few spec features that nobody bought, but a friend of mine named Frank Spotnitz got a job as a staff writer on X-Files and met Chris Carter etcetera, and got on there, and recommended that Chris read my stuff. And one day I was working on computers to make a living and writing at night and I got this call from Chris' office saying that he read a script of mine and wanted to meet me. So I drove down and met him, terrified of course, and the next day FOX called and offered me a staff job and I was there for seven years. It was an overnight success that took years.

How long into being a writer on X-Files did you become an executive producer?
The way it goes is you bump to story editor and then I went up to co-producer then producer, that was after my second year I became a producer, and then the last two years of the show I was an executive producer.

What do you prefer, writing or producing? Or does it go hand in hand these days?
I'm actually one of these writers that enjoys writing. But the great thing about television is the writer/producers are really the bosses, so you kind of have an opportunity, where in features, the director has the final say in a lot of ways. In TV, it's the writers, so that's great. I love being a producer because you actually spend a lot of time trying to get the vision that you had in your head and working with the creative people on the set. So it's very rewarding. But I do like to write, to sit down and be alone with the computer.

Do you credit Chris Carter and X-Files with helping your development, or do you kind of evolve at your own pace when you get into the business?
You know, I've got to say, X-Files was really my film school and one great thing about Chris, and I've tried to follow his example, he was very open to the young writers getting involved in all aspects of making an episode. He considered it collaborative and that he wanted everyone's best work, and if you were interested in going to the editing room, for example, and hanging out and working on your episode after it was shot, he was open to that. So that's how I learned to cut a show, that's how I learned to mix a show, and sound editing and all that stuff just by being around it and being in that environment. So I give him a lot of credit for that and I try to do that with young writers as they come aboard on our show and say, listen, get involved, watch this cut and tell me what you think and that kind of stuff. And that's where you really learn, it makes the writing better. I can't say enough about the editing room because, as they say, the movie is made three times: you write it once and then the director and the actors and the art director and all those creative people make it again on the set, in the real world. And then all that footage goes into the editing room and you make it all over again and you have to tell a story with what you've got and you have to figure out what you don't need anymore from the script, but it all can serve your writing if you're open to it in that way.

You've done almost exclusively Sci-Fi work. Were you a big fan growing up? What inspired you?
Yeah, I'll admit, yes, I was a geek in school and I ran the Newberry Park High School Science Fiction Club and I ran the Astronomy Club. I was a total fanboy, and originally I was very much into science fiction and, particularly, I wanted to actually write and be like Ray Bradbury or Larry Niven or one of those guys, and it wasn't until I went to college and sort of fell in love with the movies that I thought, "Hey, I want to write screenplays instead." But, yeah, definitely, I'm from the genre.

You said you started out trying to write features. When you finished X-Files did you keep writing sci-fi because you loved it so much or because that's what you knew?
Well, it's very easy in this business to get pigeonholed, and people look at what you did last and say, "Well that's what you do, that's what you're known for." So they'll hire you to do more things like it. I'm lucky in that I do love the genre, and genre writing, so that doesn't bother me. I have friends though who got their lucky break on a sitcom and really don't want to write sitcoms but they're stuck because that's what you're known for, and for somebody to hire you, they're looking for what you've done, and it can be difficult to break that mold. But I'm lucky in that, and it's what's great about Supernatural. The features that I was writing in the very beginning were in multiple genres - I wrote a horror script, I wrote a romantic comedy, I wrote a film noir thriller, because I was trying to show my stuff, and what's great about Supernatural is that I can bring a lot of those skills whether it's the thriller aspects, the humor, and certainly the horror to the table. So you get to play with that stuff and it's valuable to write other jobs and valuable to that side of your writing but you don't always get hired to do it.

What's your take on the state of sci-fi on TV these days? Is there an audience for more?
I definitely think there's an audience for more. I mean, certainly the explosion of sci-fi on cable proves it, and then Heroes on mainstream is a very genre show. I definitely think the audience is out there and the timing is right. I think when the world starts to get screwy, people look to fantasy and science fiction and horror for some relief, for some release, for an opportunity to deal with emotions that they don't necessarily want to face by watching CNN. And I think historically, I think that's always happened - people turn to fantasy. The old Universal horror movies were the most popular things right after World War I and after the Great Depression, for example, when people didn't want to face reality. I don't want to make it sound like they're escaping this, but it provides people with an opportunity to deal with emotions. The greatest stuff, X-Files in its own way, fit its times - the paranoia and the fear of government and now the stuff that's coming out also fits our times. That's why I think Heroes is such a success and I think people will be clamoring for more. The trick is, and you know how the business is, there's one success in a type of a show, whether it's a comedy or a drama, and all of a sudden there's ten of them. And if there aren't any hits in that group...Last year, when Supernatural started, there were a half dozen genre shows on TV, and none of them made it. We were blessed with a certain amount of success considering our network and the draw. Our numbers aren't Desperate Housewives numbers by any means, but who we are and where we live, we did well enough to come back, which is great.

How did Supernatural come about? How did you get involved?
Supernatural sprang from the mind of Eric Kripke, and God bless him for it because I'm having a ball. It's a really fun show to work on . Eric had done Tarzan for the WB and when that went away, they asked him to do another pilot, and he had always wanted to do a horror Movie of the Week-type show, investigating American myths and legends and urban legends and whatnot. And, as I understand it, he went through a couple permutations before and actually wrote a whole script about a reporter and a partner and a little bit of Night Stalker, X-Files kind of thing. And the executives at Warner said you know, that's not quite what we think is right, and in about two weeks he came up with the brothers and the mythology and the search and on the road, pounded out this script and they loved it. And after they shot the pilot and brought David Nutter on board, who I know from X-Files, that was when they approached me. They were looking for a Senior Writer to come on to work at the writers room with the writers and help break stories. And I loved the pilot and they loved my work, and it was kind of a marriage made in heaven. After the first meeting we were like, let's do this.

Supernatural has some similarities to X-Files. Does that make it harder or easier for you, personally, to write episodes?
That's a good question. It does have similarities, but the tone is so different. We look at them as sort of what is the scary movie of the week that we're doing. So, for example, the next original that airs on December 7th is called Croatoan, and we kept saying last year that I'd love to do a "28 Days Later" kind of episode. So we're always pulling from much more of a popcorn, movie to movie, Saturday matinee fun place than the X-Files, which pulled from a lot of darker, government conspiracy, evil among us sort of source. So in a way, they're both equally difficult, but they come from a different place.

How does it work when you sit down in the writers room at the beginning of season? Do the individual writers pitch their own ideas? Do the Head Writers come up with the ideas and then assign scripts? How many writers do you have on staff?
Yeah, it's kind of all of the above, to be honest. Basically in both seasons, Eric and I started the year off sitting down and talking mythology for a week or two, just trying to figure out how we are going to advance the boy's story and what to do with dad and the demon, etc., etc. Eric had in his mind since the beginning sort of the five year plan, but its how you parcel that out and how you tell that story over an individual year, something has to be worked out because you never know what's going to happen along the way. Some really interesting things came up in year one that we're playing with now.

So, we'll do that, and then we'll bring in our staff. I mean, our staff is not huge, but we have another writing producer, consulting producer, two story editors and a staff writer currently. And then there's Eric and myself, and Bob Singer comes in every once in awhile and pinch hits on a script now and again. But we've got enough to keep...we've got into a groove in that everybody will get together early in the year and throw out ideas, and we'll put them up on a board in the writers room and check off ideas as we go. And everybody's ideas are fair game because usually what happens is we'll end up combining one or two. Someone will have a really good situation for Sam to be in, and another writer will have a really good monster. And you go, wait a minute, what if we take your Sammie story and this guys' monster, and that's an episode.

We kind of found a groove although we were a little heavy on mythology early this year because of Dad's demise, so we naturally had to deal with that, so that made our first few episodes really big on mythology. But we tried to parcel it out so you get a big story about Sam and his fate, and then we'll get into a more monster of the week for two or three episodes, and then we'll come back to the mythology again. We try to parcel it out. You know you want a big cliffhanger for the end of the season and a cliffhanger for Christmas break. And then we'll work individually with the writers breaking those stories, we don't usually break them with everyone, so that we have writers that are writing and writers that are outlining, and writers that are breaking at any one moment.

Will Jeffrey Dean Morgan be back for an episode or two?
I can say yes, we have plans of bringing him back and having Dad make an appearance. It's not in the near future, but as is obvious on our show, the dead are not always dead, and we've heard about where he may or may not be as you recall if you saw the last episode that aired, "Crossroad Blues", where the demon said Dad's down in hell suffering. Yeah, demons sometimes lie, but I don't know. We will deal with that and you will see him again, but I'm not sure when.

Will Dean or Sam ever get love interests?
Indeed! There is an episode coming up where Sam will actually get very much involved with a young lady, but the trick with them as the fans know is they're always on the move, so relationships are hard to establish and hard to maintain. But we're going to try to deal with that issue and let Sam have some emotion there.

Is there anything you want to tell your fans about any upcoming episodes?
Yeah. I'm really excited about the next new one, we had two repeats in a row after November sweeps, and now we've got Croatoan coming up, which is really one we've talked about for a long time and we used to talk about the same thing on X-Files, which is that old legend of the lost colony of Roanoke. If you remember your history class, Roanoke was one of the first English colonies in the Americas. The colony was established and then a few years later someone had come back and everyone had just disappeared and its always been a mystery, and it's fascinating. So taking the idea of that and putting it into a modern day town that may or may not disappear overnight, we trap our boys there, was a lot of fun. This is sort of a combination of Roanoke with "28 Days Later". I always wanted to do a George Romero kind of movie, and this is our chance to do it, and it turned out terrific.

We do have a very big mythology episode coming up where you'll learn a lot more about Sam and you're going to learn about what Dad whispered to Dean about Sam on his deathbed. And we're going to find that out very soon, we're not going to wait until the end of the year to reveal it. I'm excited about that, and that'll really tee up a very interesting endgame for the end of the season.
