Supernatural Cleans Up At People's Choice Awards

Supernatural Cleans Up At People's Choice Awards

While I am extremely disappointed that Friday night's episode of Supernatural was a repeat, it does afford me the opportunity to talk a little about the 2012 People's Choice Awards. I'm not one to follow most awards shows, because I often totally disagree with industry perspectives, but I do enjoy the People's Choice Awards. I like that the public gives their input. It's a jury of my entertainment-loving peers, which I respect.

I was pleased to see that Supernatural came out on top in two tough categories. With some seriously big contenders--Fringe, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and The Walking Dead--Supernatural still won the Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show category. That says volumes about the quality of the show and loyalty of its fans. Those are some heavy hitters, and honestly, some of my other favorite, never-miss shows. Excluding The Vampire Diaries, of course. Gag.

And, as if that wasn't impressive enough, Sam and Dean pulled out the Favorite Network TV Drama category as well. Seriously. They dusted The Vampire Diaries, beat The Good Wife, schooled Grey's Anatomy and euthanized House. Yeah. That just happened.

For a show in its seventh season, winning both categories is really fantastic. It shows that even after the boys have died a time or two, conquered powerful demons, angels--including ol' Lucifer himself, and lost some major characters, they're still keeping their fans happy and voting. They were up against some stiff competition in both categories, but they still cleaned up at the People's Choice Awards.
