The eighth season of Supernatural typically airs Wednesday nights on The CW network. It features the talents of Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins.

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 really hope we make it to season 10. I can’t bear the
thought of it being cancelled. I don’t even want to think about
it. 🙁
why cancelle supernatural its a great show i have been watching it since its been on the air.
Supernatural is one of my favorite shows, I have been watching it since it first began. Jensen and Jared are excellent actors, they portray their characters Dean and Sam as being rough and tough but also caring and understanding and that is what makes good actors. I also think it is great that they are friends off screen as well. I’m also glad that Castiel and Crowley is back but I do miss Bobby. I hope this show lasts for many more seasons, I love it!
Please America, tune into Supernatural Wednesday nights. I couldn’t bear it if this show did not reach 10th season. Please pretty please get all your friends to watch. Better still start a ‘watch supernatural’ campaign. I can’t loose my boyz.
I LOVE THIS SHOW !!!!!!!HOW CAN THIS GET CANCELLED THIS SHOW WAS MY FRIDAYS NIGHTS NOW ITS ON A NEW NIGHT:(
Supernatural Vampire Dairies 90210 Gossip Girls Nikita Beauty And The Beast Emily Owens is what I look forward to every week and it is way better than Arrow
Supernatural Vampire Dairies 90210 Gossip Girls Nikita Beauty And The Beast Emily Owens should be at the least 10 seasons but I’m hoping for more!!!
American Next Top Model, Hart Of Dixie and Arrow Should get a Cancellation
[…] season 8 ratings […]
Notice that the ratings were highest for the second episode of the series – the one that had the most to do with the general over-arching storyline for the season. Oh yeah and CAS. And CROWLEY. Characters we actually are interested in. The last two filler episodes weren’t just painful to watch, but we’re probably some of the worst in the series.
im glad it was renewed for season 8..:D i hope there would still be more seasons to come..:D
We are going to hit 10 just wait and see
Cancellation is out of question since the dynamic of the leading actors both, inside the programme and in real life, has proved to be a vital factor for viewers to be hooked up all around the world
This has been my favourite show since it started and have been a committed watcher ever since. Us Australians don’t get much say on what the US stations do and they have cancelled many great series’ but please please do not cancel this one.
This show is what I look forward to every week and it is way better than smallville, so this series should be at the least 10 seasons but I’m hoping for more!!!! I am hoping for the full return of Bobby n Cas.
Season starting off strong, I’m okay if Cass and Bobby never come back, but Crowley needs to join them this season.
[…] network spins the numbers for last night’s series premiere of Arrow and the latest episode of Supernatural. “Arrow” Most Watched CW Show, Most Watched Premiere in 3 […]
Wow the premier and episode 2 rocked. Jensen was awesome. He portrayed purgatory Dean and PTSD Dean (topside) to perfection. Loved the interrogation flashback. Dean and his Baby scene was funny & cute. The hug with Cas was…. aaawww. Sam seems a bit off but am sure there’s more to his story as well. I just love this Dean. Cant wait for the next episode. Glad to see the ratings improve. I sincerely hope the show goes on for more seasons.
