Supernatural Promo Contest

[falconfan]

Well the results to the promo contest have been announced and now youtube is flooded with promos.

Here's the winner http://youtube.com/watch?v=gJlnHKZAbO8

I wasn't all that impressed... honestly I think my favorite of the ones I've seen is this one... http://youtube.com/watch?v=S4MDoDJIa90

I like the first one more. I could so easily see that as a commercial on the CW. LOVE Supernatural.

 

[falconfan]

Yeah but I think that's the problem... the CW commercials are all the same. They all focus on the creepy angle instead of the witty, funny, emotional angle. It's a hillarious show with great characters but all the promos ever show are two pretty face and create an eerie feeling. I don't know if I've ever even hear three seconds of dialoug in a Supernatural ad.

 

[Apollo]

I guess i agree. The first video is pretty much like their other commercials, but before they use the second one, they need to make it look more professional, put together.

 

[Dubious]

You're right, the second one is better, but I would imagine that new viewers are more likely to be attracted by the pretty faces and eerie angle, whicj is what the promos are for. The existing fans are likely to watch whatever's in the promo.

Both are better than the 'Scary just got Sexy' thing ITV use over here in the UK though

See I disagree a bit. I think they've run similar promos like that before (over here at least) and they've cornered that market as best they're going to. They're trying to expand their audience so it seems only logical to add some diversity in the ad campaign to me at least.

Fair point - I suppose if people see no variety in the promos every year, they could equate that with no variety in the show.

Whatever the promos, I just hope that it gets enough viewers to avoid he premature axe taht seems to plauge Sci Fi and Fantasy on television. Supernaturat deserves a good run

I agree whole heartedly. Supernatural is just about the only REAL drama on TV. Lost and other serialized drama rely entirely on nonsensical twists. It's not fair that they're taken more seriously than Supernatural. The boys rock! But I fear that the infamous season three spoiler (which I'm not writing about here if you know it you know what I mean) is going to put it in a Veronica Mars position where it has one season to improve ratings or they're gonna ax it... and then I'd cry... and then I'd pull myself together and go comfort Jensen

looks very interesting - i like to watch and read on the subject. I'll be sure to tune in the next time it runs.

You won't regret it I promise

No, I don't know what you mean. Part of me doesn't want to either but another part of me does. Do I want to know?

She's been axed? No way? I just started watching it.

I'm aware that I am going a little bit off the original topic but this really pisses me off. I can count umpteen good genre showa that have been taken off our screens prematurely, while Big Brother enters what seems like series 100.

And Charmed made it to eight when it obviously ran out of steam much before.

Maybe a couple of minutes silence is in order for Firefly, Angel, Dark Angel, Wonderfalls, The Lone Gunmen, Battlestar Galactica (series 4 is gonna be the last according to the guy who played the lawyer in series 3), Roswell, Aquaman (the pilot seemed okay) and countless others no doubt that I can't even recall that all met their end too soon. Let's hope Supernatural doesn't follow as it's the only thing stopping a Charmed spinoff, apparently

 

[Apollo]

while i loved Charmed. I will take Supernatural over a Charmed Spin-Off anyday so yes, lets hope they dont go off air to prematurely. and lets hope the execs aren't stupid enough to put it up agaisnt a big ratings show like Grey's Anatomy again.

 

[Dubious]

and then I'd pull myself together and go comfort Jensen

Who'd be there for Jared then? I volunteer; it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it.

 

[falconfan]

It depends on your stance on spoilers. I'll tell you this though...all signs point to it being a network mandate against creator Kripke's desires.... it has many fans OUTRAGED and SCARED SHITLESS... I have faith in Kripke though.

She's been axed? No way? I just started watching it.

Well when Veronica was in haitus Search For the Next Pussycat Doll pulled in a minimum of 1.8-3 ratings points but all year Mars had a maximum of 1.4-2 points. Dawn Ofstrom pulled the plug on Mars and ordered season 2 of the Dolls. Before season three Mars underwent minimum retooling to raise its ratings it succeeded but apparently not enough for Dawn

And Charmed made it to eight when it obviously ran out of steam much before.

There is no need for a Charmed spinoff it wouldn't make any sense. Chris fuckin' died. Period. You can't have a spinoff staring a dead person. Move on Charmed fans. Just Move on. There were much better shows (many named above) that got axed more prematurely.

I don't think I do want to know but I have faith too; he's done all right so far.

Move on Charmed fans. Just Move on. There were much better shows

At last, someone who actually shares my opinion of Charmed. I always suspected that people were lying when they said they liked it. I could never understand how it continually got higher ratings than Buffy, despite lifting storylines from it
