This is a huge disappointment for fans expecting the return of Supernatural later tonight. Along with Smallville, the CW has decided to wait until next Friday night before it airs the new episodes.
The CW is saying this:
The CW is worried about TVD/Nikita ratings due to American Idol, so it’s hoping they will garner more viewers by showing encores tomorrow and hopefully next week be able to steal some viewers away from American Idol on Thursday.
Smallville I can deal with, but pushing back Supernatural just isn't right, and pushing them back for two absolutely terrible shows, is just a really bad move on the CW's part.
Here's the clip for the now NEXT weeks new episode of Supernatural.
