[[Image:S1promo.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]The [[CW]] isn’t where you’d expect to find a show with quality tone, characterization and mytharc to match that of ''The X-Files''; and yet, ''Supernatural'' is proof that it’s possible.
''Supernatural'' follows the path of two brothers, [[Sam]] ([[Jared Padalecki]]) and [[Dean Winchester]] ([[Jensen Ackles]]). The [[CWWinchester (family)|Winchesters]] isn’t where you’d expect to find a show with quality tonewere an ordinary young family from [[Lawrence, Kansas|Kansas]] before [[Mary Winchester|their mother]] was killed horrifically - burning up, characterization and mytharc pinned to match that the ceiling of ''The XSam’s nursery by a supernatural force - when Sam was [[Pre-Files''series|just a baby]]. And yetFrom then, ''Supernatural'' is proof that it’s possibletheir lives changed.

''Supernatural''’s wry quirkiness, true horror, dynamic buddy duo (with the added bonus of family drama) and riveting mytharc gained it an [[:Category:Fandom|instant cult following]] within months of its [[1.01 Pilot|pilot episode]]. It takes the supernatural TV genre popularized by ''Buffy'' to the next level, and leaves shows like ''Ghost Whisperer'' and ''Medium'' in its dust.
Its quality is no surprise with the production team behind it including people from TV, film and comics; the team includes [[Kim Manners]], [[David Nutter]] & [[John Shiban]] (''The X-Files''); [[Ben Edlund]] (''Angel'', ''Firefly''); [[McG]] (''Charlie’s Angels''); [[Peter Johnson]] (Marvel comicsComics) and [[Daniel Knauf]] (''Carnivale'') to name only a few.
