SUPERNATURAL's SCOOBY DOO Crossover Draws Best Ratings Since Season Premiere

The highly anticipated crossover event between Supernatural and Scooby Doo did not disappoint in terms of ratings, as the episode tied Supernatural's season-high.

The episode, fittingly titled Scoobynatural, drew 2 million total viewers, the show's best numbers since the season premiere in October. 

In its 13th season, it makes sense for Supernatural's showrunners to try something different to keep things fresh. However, this episode had been in the works for a number of years. Since both properties are owned by Warner Bros., and Scooby Doo even used to air on the CW, the network figured it was worth a shot.

Since the episode was approved, a big marketing push was made to make sure this crossover garnered the attention it deserved. Even though Supernatural has been on the air for 13 years, it's more of a cult hit than a mainstream one. 

This promotional effort has included a ton of merchandise, and star Jensen Ackles going on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Considering the
episode's high ratings, it looks like this push paid off.

The ep was fantastic fun, and Dean's reaction when the guy called them "Meddling kids" was priceless

Pretty fun episode. As much as I hate Scrappy, it was nice to see him running around in the doors scene. lol It would be cool if they could get the Scooby Gang actors to come in for another crossover in the real world. Maybe have Scooby go missing (since live action budget would be a bit much for CW tv, keep Scooby brief at the end) and they ask Sam and Dean for help or Sam and Dean just happen to have a case that is tied into them in the real world searching for Scooby... idk. Just think another crossover with the live action characters could be fun as well.

This was so freaking good. One of my favorite episodes that they've done in a very long time.
