    Nice.

  2. Samuel

    Nice, I guess… I still hope the show will end this season. No need to be Smallville 2.0

  3. awesome hopefully it will help its viewership increase, and im for season 6 as long it will be good

    I’ve been waiting for news of a syndication deal ever since Supernatural hit 80+ episodes last season. TNT airing it makes sense too, because of its being a subsidiary of Time Warner and Supernatural being produced by Warner Brothers.

  5. Hopefully this pushes the CW to give it another season for an extra 22 episodes.

  6. Rose

    It’s surprising this didn’t happen sooner.

  7. DenverDean

    It’s about time!

  8. immie_8

    Awesome news! One more point in favour of S6! :D

    hmmm well I might have to check the show out now, since I assume they’ll start with airing season 1.

    Although it isn’t surprising it ended up on TNT, I am curious if SyFy made a bid for it.

  10. Mark

    This makes sense because TNT also airs Charmed and Angel repeats.

    I agree with Mark. TNT is a good fit for the show given its success with Charmed and Angel. I wonder what time they will air it though given they do two hour blocks of Charmed and Angel every morning.

  12. Wow, I honestly didn’t expect TNT. But realizing Charmed and Angel, I guess it makes sense. I was expecting Syfy of course.

    Great news for Supernatural though!

    sounds cool. I watched the show during the first half of the season but then kind of just didn’t feel like watching it. Now ill have a second chance to do so, without having to spend time downloading the episodes or buying the dvds!

  14. The TFC link above says they will air at 10am ET.

  15. Mel

    Good news!!!

    I missed the first couple of seasons, so I hope they start at the beginning and show them in sequence. This is great news.

    I already own the DVD’s for season 1-3 and have seen every episode. But, this is good news for fans who didn’t catch the earlier seasons. Plus, alot of the earlier episodes are standalone and can attract new viewers on any given day. Season 3 was when the show started becoming more serialized.

    Nice! :D

    Nice to hear. I’m sort of hoping they end it this season though. I mean, where do you go after the Apocalypse? I thought the show was originally set up to run five seasons; the seasonal and overall story arc was set up that way. Let it run it’s five season and end gracefully and enjoy it in reruns.

    Great! I know that syndication means more money for WB. But how does it influence the chances for a S6 renewal?
