As if you didn't already know ITV have bought one of America's latest supernatural shows, adequately titled "Supernatural". It's one of many spooky themed shows that have rolled out on US Networks over the past few months, some doing better than others (I don't think we need to name names, coughAmberTamblyncough). Given that it's on The WB (home of Buffy, Angel, Smallville and Charmed) you know it's probably either going to rock your socks off or suck complete ass. I'm thinking based on ITV's advertising, it's going to rock my ass! Here's what the officials say:

Sam Winchester has done his best to escape his family's eerie history. Unlike his older brother Dean, Sam rejected their father's obsessive quest to uncover the evil forces that claimed the life of the boys' mother, Mary. Putting as much distance as possible between himself and his family, Sam left home right after high school and went away to college. His new life includes a beautiful and loving girlfriend, Jessica, and plans to enter law school. Dean, however, took a very different path, following their father, John, into the "family business." When Dean arrives on Sam's doorstep with the news that their father has vanished, Sam has no choice but to put his personal plans on hold and join Dean on the road.

Sound familiar? While the plot probably has been done time and time again (most successfully in The X-Files), The WB are the kind of network to turn what would be a dull show into something extra-ordinary. Although I'm attracted by the plot and the hype (and James is attracted by the Jared and the Jensen), it remains to be seen if I'll continue to tune in after tonight.
