The eighth season premiere’s demo was on par with last season’s Friday night debut. It was down by 8% in viewership. It’s difficult to judge this opening considering that it was airing opposite the Presidential debate on the four other networks.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

What do you think? Do you still like the Supernatural TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a ninth season?

I agree with what Ashton Vance said, I couldn’t have said it better. Either come up with some more story lines like you have here in season 8 or find some way even if the Brothers close the gates that Cass or someone above him re-opens them, that whole thing in order to have good you have to have evil in the mix. I know that eventually the show will have to end BUT I think they have a good 10 YEARS! Left in them, But that is just one Super Fans opinion. I would like to see more time travel, if you can’t get Jeffrey Dean Morgan to come back, the fellow that played the young John-the boys on their way back to see John’s father makes pit stop and picks up their “dad”… Anyway Please don’t kill the show after 9 and not at 13-

Thank-You for giving the fans a place to give their opinions.
Will Always be a fan!!!!
