2012 Renewal Scorecard: What's Coming Back? What's Getting Axed? What's on the Bubble?

Well, I’m a 25 year old woman and I watch ALL of those shows, GG, 90210, Supernatural AND Ringer.

On the surface, SN does appear to be a ‘guy show’, but it actually appeals to all kinds of people. I only know women who watch the show, but I’m sure there are plenty of men who watch as well. I hope both SN and “Ringer” are renewed (and “Nikita”).

Ita. Spnl is one of the best shows to air on network tv! There’s no way CW can cancel its only show other than Ringer which doesn’t cater to teen girls.

If you think that SPN is a “guy” show, then you’ve clearly never been to a convention, which are usually 95% female fans. I’m a girl, and I think that Supernatural is the best show on TV.

Supernatural a GUYS show!? Um, no. It took me years to get my husband to watch it because the cw has never really promoted the show correctly. He finally came around at the end of season 4 because I was so into it I took my laptop all over the house w/ me so I could watch over and over while doing laundry, dishes, etc, and pretty much making it impossible for him to ignore. shows like gossip girl, the vampire diaries and 90210 get more hype than spn, but few shows have the kind of following it does. And it is a mostly female following. The shows writers, producers and actors have all acknowleged that over the years.
All I know is my husband and I both dig the show because it’s a good show. I don’t stare at the screen and think “yummy” until the 4th or 5th time I’ve watched an episode.

Supernatural a guy show? Man, that’s very funny!
I agree with all those who say that it’s able to appeal to both men and women, but of course it’s more of a “chick show who appeals to men too” than vice versa. The fandom is utterly dominated by female fans (which is good, because it proves that girls like horror just fine)

i disagree i think supernatural while it does appeal to men is still a show for women who doesn’t love to watch sam and dean every single week plus it’s funny and I think the ringer is great as well and is something the cw needs they can’t just have all teeny bopper shows and expect to survive the people that watched the cw when it was dawsons creek and stuff have grown up into adults and the cw needs to take that into account

Haha are you kidding me? Supernatural is a “guy show”? Right…I don’t know any guys who watch it, but lots of girls who do. I’m sure it has a wide range of fans, because yes, on the surface it seems like a guys shows, but anyone who actually watches an episode will see it’s a show for everyone. I think it has something for everyone. Attractive male characters, action, adventure, tension, emotion, and of coarse, bad guys. The only thing I think it lacks is any central female characters. They’ve had some in past seasons, or at least recurring female characters, but they’ve all been killed off.
However I was prepared to hate the show forever when they killed off Bobby, but I stuck with it (although every episode without him felt like it was lacking something) and it looks like he’ll be coming back, at least for now, so I’m prepared to forgive the writers for killing him off. I think if neither Castiel and Bobby had made a comeback, this would’ve been the last season. No offense to Sam and Dean, but they need backup. At this point, the show really couldn’t survive with just the 2 of them. And I find Garth obnoxious so he really didn’t help the show at all.

Supernatural is a guy show? Damn, nobody told me. Guess I better stop watching now. …. NOT! Supernatural remains one of my favorite shows on tv right now. I will keep watching it til they cancel it and then I will keep watching old episodes on DVD. lol. Maybe I’m weird, though, because I also watch GG, TVD, and will be devastated if they cancel Ringer.

ummm…. no. Supernatural is DEFINITELY not a guy show. Everyone I know that watches Supernatural is a girl. Getting two hot guys with guns fighting demons? That draws a LOT of females. But it also attracts guys because of the fighting, guns, car etc. I started watching the show in 7th grade and have been watching ever since. (I’m in college and I’m a girl.) Also, the thing about Supernatural is that it’s all about heart and family. The creator, Eric Kripke has said a hundred times, that the show isn’t about monsters and fighting. The show is about doing the right thing and sticking by your family. It’s about two brothers who would go to the ends of the world for eachother. That makes it inspiring and heartfelt (and hot) to girls and fufills the (typical) guy’s need for violence, weapons, and monsters. (Which I also love btw.)

I most strongly say that Supernatural is far from a ‘guy show’. I’m a cougar and proud of it and I would love to cuddle all those gorgeous men of Supernatural! The scripts are outstanding; the characters amazing – even the ones who have very small parts are great. I have enjoyed watching this show and hope to continue to do so for a while longer. I love BABY since I almost bought that model back in the day. As far as Ringer goes, I watched the first episode and the one that had Misha Collins in it because I don’t think this story line can last too long. It’s been done already in movies. I like Sara Michelle Geller since her Buffy days. But I cannot get into this show. I have always been a Sy Fy and horror fan and the ghosts, vampires and all the other lore they spring at me is a delicious meal of weekly terror. The story surrounding the brothers and family, faith, trust and humor in the face of gruesome evil makes for a great night of tv viewing. The conventions are packed with people who are just crazy over this show, here and in other countries. I want to keep seeing ‘the road so far’ for a long time.

Just change that to “Supernatural is a guy show, which appeals to dudes who like cars and guns, AND to gals who like dudes who like cars and guns”, then we’re golden.

Well, I’m a 61 year old woman and I’d watch Supernatural before I’d watch any show on T.V Its always exciting and I love those boys!!

I couldn’t agree more I will be a 30yr old women tomorrow and OTH is my favorite show of all times and 90210 is second..I love all the CW show’s but not a fan of Nakita really..Doesnt mean its not good just not a fan.. But I watch many different types of shows..

Geez, both guys and girls like the show! It’s not an either/or proposition, it’s both. If Drew is a guy who knows a lot of guys who are into the show too, then to him it’s a guy show. If you’re a woman who knows a lot of girls who love the show as well, then to you it’s a woman’s show.

The fact is, we experience it differently, so we tend to share it with our own gender. I saw a documentary on fandoms that showed how fangirls experience it communally, by sharing the experience with other fangirls, and will go to conventions together. Men tend to enjoy these things more on an individual basis, they don’t feel the need to share it with other people. So just because women dominate the fandom and the con doesn’t mean there aren’t a great many male viewers.

And the kind of guy who likes muscle cars and guns and classic rock is probably not the kind of guy who wants to go squee at a con. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, just because you don’t run into them, or don’t know any personally. I do know guys who are into Supernatural, and they would never set foot in an online fandom and would never even consider going to a con. But they exist nonetheless.

And btw, with only three exceptions in recent times (24, Chuck and a third I can’t remember right now) EVERY scripted live-action has more female viewers than male viewers. Sports and animated series like The Simpsons have more male viewers. And Supernatural has more male viewers than the other CW shows.
