Sometimes it comes down to the simplest of things, but it is true that one of the biggest factors of Supernatural‘s success over the years has been consistency in its ratings. Although the ratings were considered “low” for the first few seasons, it’s dominance with certain age demographics kept The WB renewing the series. After it’s season four premiere on The CW, it’s ratings climbed and, along with positive reception from fans and critics, there is just no reason to cut the show off.
