Trivia

To keep their cover as fighters of the Supernatural, Sam and Dean Winchester often pose as agents from varying agencies (FBI, Homeland Security, CDC, etc). The pseudonyms they use as officials are often direct allusions to rock stars, such as agents "Angus and Young," an homage to Angus Young from AC/DC or agents "Tyler and Perry," an allusion to Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith. Several times in particular Dean refers to himself as "Van Halen," an allusion to any member of the famous '80s rock band. In later seasons, the Winchester brothers refer to themselves as agents "Plant and Page," an allusion to the members of "Led Zeppelin," (Eric Kripke's' favorite band) or agents "Shaw and DeYoung," an allusion to the members of "Styx," some of whose music is featured in the series.

Goofs

In every episode (through episode 2.20), the boys are showing off a Kansas license plate, the county tag reads "SG". In all actuality, the county for Lawrence should read "DG" for Douglas County.

User Reviews

Whoa! This is more like it!

After being disappointed by mediocre to bad new shows like Threshold and Invasion, I am glad that there's at least one new show that really delivers. Supernatural is in a whole different league, with proper style, suspense and great production values. This is a dark, moody show that understands how to use the television medium. The story isn't exactly complex, but the storytelling technique pulls you in and holds your attention, making you want to know more about the supernatural beings and the rules that govern their shadow world. I'm usually not a fan of darkness and horror, but this show is effective. It's dark urban fantasy and it has the potential to go a long way. As it is, the show is way, waay above average, and I rate the pilot episode an 8 out of 10.
