Jared Padalecki

The post I originally responded to (quoted in the previous page) spoke about the series killing off a female character and not giving the gay character anything meaningful, with the poster saying they would never watch the series due to that. So the criticism isn't hypothetical.

Well no, that's not exactly what I said, although I do think it's a point in the negative column. I'm just not a police procedural kinda guy, is why I'm not interested. And the treatment of minorities doesn't help me to get past my usual disinterest therein.

I mean god, Glee had every minority in the book and I still didn't watch it, so that's not the only reason I might watch TV shows. I watched Supernatural because I like sci-fi-fantasy stuff, even despite the questionable representation.

Any reason why they barely had the brothers shirtless?

I mean, the show's fun and all but I think a lot of us were just tuning in for the eye candy. And they clearly demonstrated that they know most of the fanbase consist of women so...

It was on the CW, after all, the same channel where they have the men in practically all their shows running amok with their shirts off. I never understood why they barely had the brothers shirtless, is all.

SPN pre-dated the CW by a year or two, and you can see from the early seasons how different it was from the CW lineup. You can say SPN was an outlier among the shows in the CW and you can see how, in the later seasons, the execs tried to tame its tendency to be out of the box.
 
The early seasons were really dark and more gritty. The show leaned more into the humorous and 'fan service' side of things and became more fantasy rather than straight horror later on, in line with other CW shows.

Going from The WB to The CW was a major misstep in how the series was produced; you can tell it went from dark, gritty and real alluring to light, fun and very CGI-hungry.

Waller earned the highest rating for that network time slot in 3 years and a 0.4 in their target demo. A good start for the CW. Better than Supernatural has done in several seasons. Jared has always been the star power. Wonder if the boosted ratings over Supernatural stay there, though. They are going to need better writing and less clothes.

I mean its the premiere episode of a new show that stars a well known actor who also starred in a well known series on the same network. The premiere episode means nothing. Its the episodes that follow that will determine if its just a fluke.
 
yeah, pretty much every tv show is like that. good numbers on the premiere because it's lots of people checking it out, and then the numbers often get halved a few episodes after because people didn't care for it and stopped watching. some people give it a couple episodes before giving up, but usually by episode 4 you get a better idea of the actual ratings the show can pull

Yup hence "wonder if..."

We all know it probably won't.

As an aside, though, I just finished the episode. Jared's jeans can barely contain him for a good portion of the show. It's bulge city.
