November 2009

Airlock Alpha has an analysis of the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons through the end of November sweeps. The analysis shows viewership among genre shows to be down nearly 17.1 percent.

"Even some of the historically more stable shows have taken hard hits. "Smallville," which surprised The CW with strong ratings last year, has now lost nearly 41 percent of its audience falling from a 2.7/4 to a 1.6/3. Even "Supernatural" has felt the sting, losing more than 26 percent of its audience since losing "Smallville" as a lead-in from a 2.3/3 to a 1.7/3.

Although a lot of people are talking about the new The CW drama "Vampire Diaries," which has been getting the network's highest ratings, it's not performing as strong as "Smallville" did in its Thursday lead-in spot the year before. In fact, the audience for that timeslot is down more than 7 percent since "Vampire Diaries" took over."

On the Audience Loyalty Index rating, Supernatural went down from 2.3/3 [92.0] in 2008-2009 to 1.7/3 [81.0] in 2009-2010.

SFX listed their picks of the 14 Greatest Format-Breaking SF & Fantasy TV Episodes Ever:

12 Supernatural
“Ghostfacers” (2008)
Another appearance by the two geeky ghost-hunters from first season episode “Hell House” was always on the cards, as Harry Spangler (Travis Wester) and Ed Zeddmore (AJ Buckley) were perfect comic relief foils for the Winchesters. And boy, did the writers do it well, bringing them back with a full team of spirit chasers – the eponymous Ghostfacers – to investigate a creepy house using handheld and night vision cameras in a spoof that probably made Most Haunted a little grumpy. The Facers bump into the Winchesters, suffer a loss and witness a frankly chilling birthday party (despite the humour, this has some very scary bits). But it’s the gleeful way the episode breaks the rules that makes it so brilliant, from characters swearing and having the words bleeped out to Dean giving the camera a (pixellated) finger in the opening credits. The Ghostfacers picked up their own fan following after this – it’s not hard to see why.
