TV: “Supernatural” Makes Top Five Favorite Endangered Shows
By stephanie - Friday, April 28th, 2006
I’m not surprised – “Supernatural” has made it to E! Online’s Top Five Favorite Endangered Shows.
Now, readers most vote to pick their one favorite show to be saved. My vote is, of course, for “Supernatural.” Once again, you must follow the simple rules exactly: Email tvdiva@eonline.com with the name of your show in the email subject line only. (This will say “Supernatural,” of course.)
The other shows in the top five are: “Everwood,” “One Tree Hill,” “Veronica Mars,” and “What About Brian?”
I’m disappointed, but not surprised, that “Invasion” has not made the list. As I’ve mentioned before, ABC has effectively destroyed the show’s momentum by taking an arc show and screwing with the schedule. I was talking with an acquaintance yesterday who had seen some of the show, and found it interesting, but was completely confused by the gap in showings.
Wednsday’s episode of “Invasion” was very gripping: If ABC does not renew it, I can only hope (without much hope) that some other channel such as the SciFi Channel can pick up. The production costs on it can’t be that high. It’s not like it needs expensive alien puppets like “Farscape.”
Alas – networks rarely pick up other network’s leftovers, even if the show already has a fan-base and some ratings. If only…then we’d still have “Dead Like Me,” “Firefly,” “Farscape,” and a host of other good shows.

Just sent my email for Supernatural! After Wednesday night’s Invasion, I really hope it comes back. What else are they gonna replace it with? It seems like a great injustice when shows like Reba are allowed to continue on while quality scifi is cancelled. I’m already brainstroming a “Save invasion” or “Save Supernatural” campaign. However, I really believe that Supernatural will be back.
