About Supernatural (season 1) in brief
The first season of Supernatural premiered on September 13, 2005, and concluded on May 4, 2006 after 22 episodes. It is the only season to air on The WB, with all subsequent seasons airing on The CW. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles star as Sam and Dean, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan recurring as their father, John, and Nicki Aycox as the demonic Meg Masters. The season gained many award nominations, among them two Primetime Emmy Awards for work done on the pilot episode. The first season was released on DVD as a six-disc box set on September 5, 2006, by Warner Home Video in Region 1. The complete set was released in Region 4 on October 2, 2007. The episodes are also available through digital retailers such as Apple’s iTunes Store, Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace, and Amazon.com’s on-demand TV service. In this table, the first column refers to the episode’s number within the entire series, whereas the second column indicates the episode’s number within this particular season. \”U.S. viewers in millions\” refers to how many Americans watched the episode live or on the day of broadcast. The series mythology further expands with the addition of the demon-killing Colt handgun near the season’s end, lending to the \”modern American Western\” theme the producers were going for. As of 2019, Supernatural is also the only continuing series that originated on TheWB, and by far the longest running show ever to have aired on that network with over 300 episodes produced.
The season was internationally syndicated, airing in the United Kingdom on ITV, in Canada on Citytv, and in Australia on Network Ten. The episode “Scarecrow” introduces the demon Meg Masters, which executive producer Kim Manners felt was “desperately needed’”. Though uncertain at exactly what direction to take the character, the writers intended Meg to be an antagonist for the Winchesters throughout her story arc. This episode borrowed three elements from the Hook Man legend for the purposes of the show to make him the ghost-handed killer of a hook-handed man. Kripke personally added the fact that vampires would become weak if given the blood of a dead man and would retract their fangs if given a row of rowed teeth of sharks—these were inspired by the rowed sharks of the original legends. Although the weekly adversaries for the Winchester brothers were often based on urban legends, the writer tried to put their own spin on the stories for each of the episodes. The final episode of the first season, “Hook Man”, borrowed elements from numerous variations of the Hookman legend to make it the ghost of a poltergeist. The writers decided that an mental patient would be an important character in the show, but the writers decided however that the patient would not be a mental patient in the final episode. In the pilot, the character of La Llorona was given a cross made from his melted melted body.
