Amazon.com: Call it Kolchak: The Night Stalker, The College Years or Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Boys, but the horror series Supernatural delivers some of the most satisfying small-screen scares in recent memory. The premise is deceptively simple: brothers Sam and Dean (Jared Padalecki from Gilmore Girls and Jensen Ackles, both appealing) travel the darker corners of the American landscape in search of their father, who's gone missing while hunting the malevolent forces that lead to the death of their mother. In the course of their search, the siblings encounter a host of otherworldly creatures, including vampires, ghosts, and witches, as well as such distinctly American phenomena as the urban-legend favorite the Hook ("Hookman"), monsters from Native American mythology ("Wendigo"), and fearful figures from children's games ("Bloody Mary"). Supernatural's integration of elements from American pop culture and folklore, combined with its skilled cast and crew (creator/co-writer Erik Kripke delivered 2005's Boogeyman, while director/executive producer David Nutter is a veteran of The X-Files and Millennium), and better-than-average attempts at atmosphere and suspense place the series well above the other spookshow programs that arrived on networks at about the same time (Invasion, Night Stalker), and should hold considerable appeal for fans of frightful fare.
The six-disc set contains all 22 episodes of the debut season, with commentary by Ackles and Padalecki on "Phantom Traveler" and Nutter, Kripke, and producer Peter Johnson on the pilot episode; two making-of documentaries (one on the show itself, and the other on its stars), as well as a brace of unaired scenes and a gag reel round out the set. For those with DVD-ROM capabilities, the set also includes a link to a web site which offers a sneak preview at season 2 and the pilot script, among other bonus features. --Paul Gaita
i loved it!!!!! I love everything I order from amazon most of the time. Anyway I love this DVD set b/c it shows where the show started in a way where you couldn't see it in the TV show. I loved it truly and I would recommend it to anyone who loves Supernatural the show. And even if you aren't a fan of the show this a great way for you to see what the show is all about trust me you will get hooked!! Always ~~prissy~~
All the raves about this show are true!!! I bought this DVD television series, never having seen it on television; due to its premise looking interesting. Two good looking men, one a blue collar type and the other a pre-law college graduate, take up the family business of hunting monsters and ghosts due to their father going on a ghost hunting mission from which he has never returned. The acting on the episodes is superb (Jensen Ackles being the real standout), the writing is excellent (most of the episodes are both horrifying yet funny at the same time) and the special effects are great. If you are a fan of the X-files or Buffy the Vampire Slayer you will also like this series.
The episodes that are included:
Episode I (pilot) Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) hook up due to their Dad being on a "hunting trip" from which he has never returned. They encounter a mysterious ghost, and accomplish their first ghost killing mission together as adults. Sam's girlfriend mysteriously dies the same way the boys Mother died soon after Sam was born.
Wendigo Sam and Dean encounter a a strange spirit of Indian lore while hunting for their Father.
Dead in the Water A series of drownings in a lake in Wisconsin soon becomes seen by Sam and Dean as the work of a vengeful spirit

Bloody Mary Sam and Dean discover a ghoul who lives in mirrors who gorges out the eyes of its prey that must be stopped

The Benders Shades of Deliverance abound in this tale about backwoods people who like to hunt humans. Sam is taken as a prize and Dean has to rescue him

Hell House A house is a place for a homicidal spirit, but Sam and Dean's efforts are thwarted by a pair of strange paranormal investigators who want to use ghosts to pick up girls.
Something Wicked A witch is terryfying a small town, and this witch has ties to the boyhoods of the Winchester brothers.
Provenance A portrait of a long dead family has an equally horrifying history and causes murders when purchased.
Dead Mans Blood The boys Father (played by Jeffrey DEan Morgan) is finally reunited with his sons. The Vampires have gotten possession of a gun that is rumoured to kill anything, ghost or demonic.
Salvation A demonically possessed woman Sam met reappears, with disasterous consequences-she wants the gun that can kill anything, and John (the boys Father) is kidnapped so she can get it.
Devil's Trap This is the season finale. Anything is game concerning the gun, and getting back Dad. A riveting final shot ends the series of season I
Also, the special features are wonderful on this DVD set, particularly the Gag real. Buy it, it is worth your time.
Supernatural Season one: the start of a great series! In season one of most series, you're sort of getting a lot of bits and peices. Mostly because the bulk of the money and imagination was spent on the pilot before the networks decide to pick up certain shows. If you're not a patient person, or really into the genre of this show then you probably won't be blown away. It is worth the watch though, even if this is not your kind of show. If for no other reason, simply because of the leads Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. The latter really is a truly gifted actor with mannerisms and a persona that really make his character of Dean believable. Jared comes into his own as Sam also. But watching for the different directors in each episode and their styles is also fun. And once you begin to see where the creators and writers are taking you with the mythology of this series, you really get hooked. It's because they somehow manage to make a weekly creature-feature and include the over-arching story line in every episode at the same time. And it's nice to be able to tell when the people involved seem to enjoy making the show as well, as is evident in Supernatural. And it only gets better as the series progresses through seasons.
