The 50 Best Episodes of 2009
The Futon Critic continue to count down the 50 best episodes of 2009:
18. "supernatural: changing channels" (the cw)
(originally aired: november 5, 2009)
"Supernatural" does drama well. "Supernatural" does comedy well. But if there's one thing "Supernatural" does best of all it's being ridiculously insert-praiseworthy-explicative-here clever. Case in point: this installment in which The Trickster traps Sam and Dean in a television universe where they must combat the horrors of Japanese game shows, sitcoms, "CSI: Miami" and, yes, "Grey's Anatomy." Whether it's Dean being revealed as a closet fan of a certain ABC medical drama ("It's a guilty pleasure!"), the sitcom cold open ("Supernatural is filmed before a live studio audience.") or the David Caruso-esque pun-off to distract the aforementioned Trickster ("Well I say… no guts, no glory.") – not to mention the ultimate reveal of who The Trickster actually is – it's hard to walk away from this episode without feeling impressed on every level.

The 50 Best Episodes of 2009
The Futon Critic continue to count down the 50 best episodes of 2009:
28. "supernatural: the end" (the cw)
(originally aired: october 1, 2009)
Earlier this year, creator Eric Kripke joked that they'd be doing the Wal-Mart version of the apocalypse. Well if this is the Wal-Mart version of the apocalypse, one can only imagine what the non-big box store version is. Said episode, in which Dean is transported to 2014 by Zachariah to teach him a lesson about what's ahead if he continues down his current path, proved to be a frightening vision of the future in which a virus has zombified most of the populace and the ensuing struggle has turned him into a heartless killer.

The Top-5 TV Shows of the Year
IFMagazine listed their Top 5 TV Shows of the Year:
1) SUPERNATURAL
Why it Rocked: Beginning with the second half of season four, the show continued to prove why it has so many loyal followers as it gave Team Dean (Jensen Ackles) a chance to shine as he became the only hope in defeating the rise of Lucifer on Earth. Here’s the kicker, he along with his brother Sam (Jared Padaleki) failed. Now, beginning in season five, Lucifer roams the Earth and is bringing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse along with him and the carnage and deaths among some of the long-time cast members is bountiful.
Memorable Moment: Sam and Dean get trapped by the Trickster in a realm where they must act out TV clichés from hospital dramas, to buddy sitcoms, to Japanese game shows.
