• 1.05/1.06 - Several sources (among them Variety) report that the CW show Reaper will move into the Supernatural timeslot on Thursday 9 p.m. after all the remaining Supernatural episodes already shot have aired. Point of concern for Supernatural fans is that Supernatural won't be on repeats for the remainder of the WGA Strike, meaning it won't get any airtime at all for months. Season 3 will therefore be a very short season, with only 12 episodes. Understandably, fans are even more concerned that Supernatural will not return for a fourth season, given these circumstances.^Source
