But Heroes is my #1 show being produced Chrisisall
Hey Big 'C'.
Actually yes I think it's a better show than Heroes. I loved Heroes to start with but as the season wore on certain contrivances in Heroes would bother me. I still love it and am watching season two in parts with two friends but there's a distinct feeling like we're treading old ground with Heroes. Where as with Supernatural there's a better sense, for me, that the characters are moving on to places they've not been before. It's more subtle, less in your face and downplayed with just the right amount of humour thrown in.
Plus I absolutely LOVE the way Supernatural is shot. It is a class act. The look and sound of it is so in tune with the theme of the show, I honestly think it's the classiest thing on TV. Watch the episode with the Scarecrow to see what I mean. Everytime those boys are out in that orchard the atmosphere is 'right' on where the characters are with events. It's beyond clever, it's borderline genius!
That said I take nothing away from Heroes - I love watching it too, but it's a whole different experience.

This show is one of the best on television. Good thing it didn't premier on Fox because it probably would have been cancelled after five or six episodes.

I totally agree with you on this, other than myself you are the first person I have seen express this opinion. With Heroes, the second half of season 1 is some of the finest television I have ever seen, the first half was nothing to sneeze at either. That said, I still have a preference for Supernatural.
The most amazing thing the show has going for it is that the story is carried by only two main characters. There are so many ways this could have gone bad but the actors and writers are continually pushing the dynamic between Sam and Dean. Sam has really matured, so much in fact that he has taken on the role of the protective brother. What is there to say about Dean that hasn't already been said? He initially comes off as the typical smartass tough guy but in truth he is much deeper than he would like anyone to realize. At the end of last season we finally saw the extents to which he would go in order to look out for Sam.

Yes indeed. Heroes is great. No doubt about that. I think where supernatural swings it for me is the fact that the long term arc is taking a more gentle sweep up. That works better for me personally. I'm slowly gently being spoon fed the fantastic ideas that Supernatural is undertaking, and being kind of old school, I need that. Heroes went from here's some characters with cute powers, to then suddenly it's; SAVE THE WORLD! It was fun but just a bit too much too soon. The other thing that Heroes has done which I think makes it a tad awkward are the amount of characters to deal with. It's similar to Lost. Sometimes they have to deal with charcaters who frankly you're just not interested in, and then it'll be weeks before you return to the plot line and character development you were enjoying. Can be frustrating.
Anyway really don't mean to be negative about either show Lost or Heroes as they are far far better than TV has any right to be
but SUPERNATURAL is now right up there for me with BUFFY :D I'm starting to absolutely love it.BTW I'm only on ep4 of season 2 - so I have plenty of fun to come :D
cheers

In their bunks, of course.
Sorry...:shakes head:...really really sorry.
Supernatural is part of my "man-candy" regime. I have an unfortunate yen for the slightly bad hero, i.e. Mal, Han Solo, and Dean.
Not a single one I'd kick out the airlock for eating crackers. :drool:

I only just discovered this show online at Stage6, and I am flabbergasted!
This is the best damn paranormal show since The X-Files (Cool seeing David Nutter in the credits!)!
I really like this actor playing Dean, and the brotherly friction (head slaps, etc.) are a nice touch.
What I love most is that both these guys have been dealing with this stuff since childhood, so there's no time wasted with one character trying to convince the other about the "reality" of the situation, like with Mulder & Scully.

I love Supernatural.
Even though I've seen it on the internet I can't wait until the third season begins in the UK

I'm a fan since the beginning. Have you noticed this season there is not as much hard rock music, also they seem to be lighting it different. The Bella character so far has not been very interesting. The demon lady is ok.
I loved the Christmas special.

Yes that was quite hilarious.
Select to view spoiler:
There's just something funny about Sam and Dean being tortured by two old people who are fine with eating people but don't appreciate foul language.
