text: After their first season debut in "Hell House" (episode 17 written by Trey Callaway), the growing popularity of "amateur spook-hunters" Ed Zeddmore and Harry Spangler prompted Kripke to consider a spin-off series for the characters. He discussed the idea of an online venture with actors A. J. Buckley and Travis Wester, and held a successful meeting with studio and network executives. Though Kripke announced their plans to produce "some new material, either webisodes, potentially cell phone content or basically an off-network "Ghostfacers" series" at the 2008 Comic-Con, the economic downturn delayed production until 2009.


title: Supernatural (American TV series)

text: Buckley and Wester, along with Patrick J. Doody and Chris Valenziano, penned the series. They found the format—ten three-minute segments—difficult to manage because each webisode has to work both individually and as part of the overall storyline. However, Wester noted, "We couldn't get too indulgent, we couldn't delve into long conversations. That helps not only with the storytelling but with the comedy... With drama, it takes time to establish an emotional connection with the characters. With comedy, you can jump right in."

text: During its first season, the show received generally mixed critical reception, but the reception from critics has grown more favorable as the series progressed with subsequent seasons receiving generally positive reviews from critics.


title: Supernatural (American TV series)

text: The first season received a Metacritic score of 59 out of 100 based on 22 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 87% approval rating for the first season, with an average rating of 7.32/10 based on 31 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "Despite some too-hip dialogue and familiar thematic elements, "Supernatural"s vigilante brothers manage to stir up some legitimate scares." Tanner Stransky of "Entertainment Weekly" gave the first season a B, saying the show "comes off as weekly installments of a horror movie series", but that "Adding to the show's cred are the '67 Chevy Impala the boys rumble around in and their kick-ass soundtrack". Jeff Swindoll of "Monsters and Critics" "really liked" the first season for its "horrific content and the brotherly chemistry between its two stars". He also noted that the season finished "with one bang of a cliffhanger". Swindoll enjoyed the second season, too, saying that it "still works thanks to the brotherly chemistry between Padalecki and Ackles" and noted the second season focused more on the show's mythology.


title: Supernatural (American TV series)

text: Swindoll also liked the third season, saying "Eric Kripke must've sold his soul to the devil so that the show wouldn't suffer a third season slump." He also enjoyed the moments featuring Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver), likening him to the character Cooter from "Dukes of Hazzard". However, Daniel Bettridge of "Den of Geek" believed that the writer's strike hindered the season, with many issues being left unresolved and the finale feeling "a little rushed". He also felt that new characters Ruby (Katie Cassidy) and Bela (Lauren Cohan) were "disappointingly unexplored and ineffectively used". While Diana Steenbergen of IGN liked that there was a season-long story arc with Dean's demonic deal, she believed that viewers would know that the pact would not be resolved until the finale, making the self-enclosed episodes feel like they are "treading water, waiting for the main storyline to resume". In 2008, AOL TV placed the show on its list of TV's Biggest Guilty Pleasures.


title: Supernatural (American TV series)

text: Another "Monsters and Critics" reviewer, June L., gave the fourth season a positive review, saying the show "remains intriguing and entertaining, giving viewers much to ponder in terms of the philosophical analysis of the nature of good and evil." Steenbergen felt that the series made a transition from a "pretty good show to being a pretty great show". She praised Misha Collins for his portrayal of the angel Castiel, and felt that the interactions between Dean and Castiel were "one of the highlights of the season". Before the premiere of the fifth season, "Rolling Stone" listed the series as one of "The 50 Best Reasons to Watch TV", citing Sam and Dean Winchester as the "Bo and Luke Duke of demon hunting".

text: The "Chicago Tribune"s Maureen Ryan named "Supernatural" among the top ten shows of 2009, stating that the "thoughtfully crafted show got bolder and more creative in 2009, coming up with hilarious and innovative episodes and taking risks with its storytelling." Mike Hale of "The New York Times" also named the series on his top ten list for the year: ""Supernatural" is currently among the wildest and most entertaining series in prime time." In 2010, AOL TV ranked "Supernatural" fourth of the Top 20 Magic/Supernatural Shows of All Time, noting that the show had been compared to "The X-Files" early in its run before "distinguishing itself as a unique, unpredictable and addictive series that not only features monsters, magic and Lucifer himself, but also boasts a dynamic duo arguably better at the banter than Mulder and Scully -- Sam and Dean Winchester".


title: Supernatural (American TV series)

text: In 2012, "Entertainment Weekly" listed the show at No. 19 in the "25 Best Cult TV Shows from the Past 25 Years", saying, ""Supernatural" began with a pretty straightforward premise – hot guys kill spooky things – but it didn't stay that way for long. The characters have literally been to hell and back, and along the way, they have woven a complicated and compelling mythology filled with friends (angel Castiel), recurring foes (demon Crowley), and inside jokes (Wincest!). "Supernatural" has also, however, dedicated episodes to mocking the sillier aspects of its own existence, like its hypercritical fandom. This self-referential approach has rewarded longtime viewers and helped build a community so passionate, it's almost scary." The show has a broad demographic base and is more popular in Russia than the US.

Enough fans posted the hashtag "#LuciferIsComing" that it made it into "trending topics"—a list depicting words and phrases posted with the highest frequency on the website. However, Twitter users who were unaware of the fans' intentions responded with numerous posts of "#GodIsHere", and the topic was blocked from Twitter's trending topics after complaints. Actor Misha Collins, who portrays Castiel in the series, tried to continue the campaign by requesting that fans post "#PDiddyIsScaredOfHisTV", rapper P. Diddy being the one whom many fans believe to be the instigator of the initial backlash. However, after an hour, this attempt to trend the topic was also stymied by Twitter.

text: Chase's paternal grandfather was artist and illustrator Edward Leigh Chase, and his great-uncle was painter and teacher Frank Swift Chase. His maternal grandmother, also named Cathalene, was an opera singer who performed several times at Carnegie Hall.


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase was named for his adoptive grandfather, Cornelius, while the nickname "Chevy" was bestowed by his grandmother from the medieval English ballad "The Ballad of Chevy Chase". As a descendant of the Scottish Clan Douglas, she thought the name appropriate. He is a 14th-generation New Yorker, and was listed in the "Social Register" at an early age. His mother's ancestors arrived in Manhattan starting in 1624—among his ancestors are New York City mayors Stephanus Van Cortlandt and John Johnstone; the Dutch Schuyler family, through his ancestor Gertrude Schuyler, the wife of Stephanus Van Cortlandt; John Morin Scott, General of the New York Militia during the American Revolution; Anne Hutchinson, dissident Puritan preacher and healer; and "Mayflower" passengers and signers of the Mayflower Compact from England, John Howland, and the Pilgrim colonist leader and spiritual elder of the Plymouth Colony, William Brewster.

Chase's parents divorced when he was four; his father remarried into the Folgers coffee family, and his mother remarried twice. He has stated that he grew up in an upper middle class environment and that his adoptive maternal grandfather did not bequeath any assets to Chase's mother when he died.

text: Chase was educated at Riverdale Country School, an independent day school in the Riverdale neighborhood of The Bronx, New York City, before being expelled. He ultimately graduated as valedictorian in 1962 from the Stockbridge School, an independent boarding school in the town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts. At Stockbridge, he was known as a practical joker with an occasional mean streak. He attended Haverford College during the 1962–1963 term, where he was noted for slapstick comedy and an absurd sense of physical humor, including his signature pratfalls and "sticking forks into his orifices". During a 2009 interview on the "Today" show, he ostensibly verified the oft-publicized urban legend that he was expelled for harboring a cow in his fourth floor room, although his former roommate David Felson asserted in a 2003 interview that Chase left for academic reasons. Chase transferred to Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, where he studied a pre-med curriculum and graduated in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts in English.


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase did not enter medical school, which meant he was subject to the military draft. Chase was not drafted, and when he appeared in January 1989 as the first guest of the just-launched late-night "The Pat Sajak Show", he said he had “convinced” his draft board he deserved a 4-F classification by " “falsely” claiming, among other things, that he had homosexual tendencies".


title: Chevy Chase

text: He played drums with the college band The Leather Canary, headed by school friends Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. Chase has called the group "a bad jazz band"; Becker and Fagen later founded the successful group Steely Dan. Chase has perfect pitch. He played drums and keyboards for a rock band called Chamaeleon Church, which recorded one album for MGM Records before disbanding in 1969. To give the album a more soft-rock sound, producer Alan Lorber made several alterations in the mixing, including the muting of Chase's bass drum, and Chase was reportedly incensed when he heard the final mix.


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase was a member of an early underground comedy ensemble called Channel One, which he co-founded in 1967. He also wrote a one-page spoof on "" for "Mad" magazine in 1970 and was a writer for the short-lived "Smothers Brothers" TV show comeback in the spring of 1975. Chase made the move to comedy as a full-time career by 1973, when he became a writer and cast member of "The National Lampoon Radio Hour", a syndicated satirical radio series. "The National Lampoon Radio Hour" also featured John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray, and Brian Doyle-Murray, all of whom later became "Not-Ready-For-Prime Time Players" on "NBC Saturday Night" (later re-titled "NBC's Saturday Night" and finally "Saturday Night Live"). Chase and Belushi also appeared in National Lampoon's off-Broadway revue "Lemmings", a sketch and musical send-up of popular youth culture, in which Chase also played the drums and piano during the musical numbers.

title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase was one of the original cast members of "Saturday Night Live" ("SNL"), NBC's late-night comedy television show, beginning in October 1975. During the first season, he introduced every show except two, with "Live from New York, it's "Saturday Night!"" The remark was often preceded by a pratfall, known as "The Fall of the Week". Chase became known for his skill at physical comedy. In one comedy sketch, he mimicked a real-life incident in which President Gerald Ford accidentally tripped while disembarking from Air Force One in Salzburg, Austria. This portrayal of President Ford as a bumbling klutz became a favorite device of Chase's, and helped form the popular concept of Ford as being a clumsy man. In later years, Chase met and became friendly with President Ford.


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase was the original anchor for the "Weekend Update" segment of "SNL", and his catchphrase introduction, "I'm Chevy Chase… and you're not" became well known. His trademark conclusion, "Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow" was later resurrected by Jane Curtin and Tina Fey. Chase also wrote comedy material for "Weekend Update". For example, he wrote and performed "The News for the Hard of Hearing". In this skit, Chase read the top story of the day, aided by Garrett Morris, who repeated the story by loudly shouting it. Chase claimed that his version of "Weekend Update" was the inspiration for later news satire shows such as "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report". "Weekend Update" was later revived as a segment on "The Chevy Chase Show", a short-lived late-night talk show produced by Chase and broadcast by Fox Broadcasting Company.


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase was committed contractually to "SNL" for only one year as a writer and became a cast member during rehearsals just before the show's premiere. He received two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for his comedy writing and live comic acting on the show. In "Rolling Stone"s February 2015 appraisal of all 141 "SNL" cast members to date, Chase was ranked tenth in overall importance. "Strange as it sounds, Chase might be the most "under"-rated "SNL" player," they wrote. "It took him only one season to define the franchise…without that deadpan arrogance, the whole "SNL" style of humor would fall flat."


title: Chevy Chase

text: In a 1975 "New York" magazine cover story, which called him "The funniest man in America", NBC executives referred to Chase as "The first real potential successor to Johnny Carson" and claimed he would begin guest-hosting "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" within six months of the article. Chase dismissed rumors that he could be the next Carson by telling "New York", "I'd never be tied down for five years interviewing TV personalities." Chase did not appear on the program until May 4, 1977, when he was promoting a prime-time special for NBC. Carson later said of Chase: "He couldn't ad-lib a fart after a baked bean dinner."


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase acknowledged Ernie Kovacs's influence on his work in "Saturday Night Live", and he thanked Kovacs during his acceptance speech for his Emmy Award. In addition, Chase spoke of Kovacs's influence on his work in an appearance in the 1982 documentary called "Ernie Kovacs: Television's Original Genius".


title: Chevy Chase

text: In late 1976, in the middle of the second season, Chase became the first member of the original cast to leave the show. While he landed starring roles in several films on the strength of his "SNL" fame, he asserted that the principal reason for his departure was the reluctance of his girlfriend, Jacqueline Carlin, to move to New York. Chase moved to Los Angeles, married Carlin, and was replaced by Bill Murray, although he made a few cameo appearances on the show during the second season.


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase hosted "SNL" eight times until 1997 when he was reportedly banned after hitting Cheri Oteri on the back of the head and harassing female writers. However, "SNL" creator and show runner Lorne Michaels has since disputed reports that he was shocked by Chevy's behavior or had banned him as a result, claims which he calls “idiotic”. While Chase has not returned to "SNL" to host since 1997, he appeared on the show's 25th anniversary special in 1999 and was interviewed for a 2005 NBC special on the first five years of "SNL". Later appearances included a "Caddyshack" skit featuring Bill Murray, a 1997 episode with guest host Chris Farley, as the Land Shark in a "Weekend Update" segment in 2001, another "Weekend Update" segment in 2007, and in Justin Timberlake's monologue in 2013 as a member of the Five-Timers Club, where he was reunited with his "Three Amigos" co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short. He also participated in the 40th anniversary special in February 2015.


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase's early film roles included "Tunnel Vision", the box office hit "Foul Play" that earned more than $44 million, and "Oh! Heavenly Dog". The role of Eric "Otter" Stratton in "National Lampoon's Animal House" was originally written with Chase in mind, but he turned the role down to work on "Foul Play". The role went to Tim Matheson instead. Chase said in an interview that he chose to do "Foul Play" so he could do "real acting" for the first time in his career instead of just doing "schtick". Chase followed "Foul Play" with the successful Harold Ramis comedy "Caddyshack", in 1980. Caddyshack was a major box office success, pulling in $39 million off a $6 million budget. It has since become a classic, currently sitting at a 73% approval rate on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics saying "Though unabashedly crude and juvenile, Caddyshack nevertheless scores with its classic slapstick, unforgettable characters, and endlessly quotable dialogue". That same year, he also reunited with "Foul Play" co-star Goldie Hawn for Neil Simon's "Seems Like Old Times" which was also successful at the box office, earning more than 43 million. After this he released a self-titled record album, co-produced by Chase and Tom Scott, with novelty and cover versions of songs by Randy Newman, Barry White, Bob Marley, the Beatles, Donna Summer, Tennessee Ernie Ford, The Troggs, and The Sugarhill Gang.


title: Chevy Chase

text: Chase narrowly escaped death by electrocution during the filming of "Modern Problems" in 1980. During a sequence in which Chase's character wears "landing lights" as he dreams that he is an airplane, the lights malfunctioned and an electrical current passed through Chase's arm, back, and neck muscles.
