The first season of Supernatural premiered on September 13, 2005, and

concluded on May 4, 2006, after 22 episodes. It focuses on brothers Sam

and Dean Winchester as they track their father, John, who is hunting the

demon who killed their mother and Sam's girlfriend. The brothers use

their father's journal to continue the family business of saving people

and hunting supernatural creatures. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles

(both pictured) star as Sam and Dean, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan recurring

as John and Nicki Aycox as the demonic Meg Masters. This is the only

season to air on The WB; subsequent seasons aired on The CW. The season

averaged about 3.81 million American viewers and earned many award

nominations, including two Primetime Emmy Awards for work done on the

pilot episode. Some critics criticized the mostly anthology-like format,

while others praised the show's emotional moments and brotherly

chemistry between the lead actors. (This article is part of a featured
