I covered ‘Supernatural’ in my Jane After Dark column on TV Squad last winter (here’s my wrap-up post), so I was pretty excited when the season one blu-ray arrived on my doorstep from Warner Bros. After being in the demon trenches with Sam and Dean Winchester for a couple of months, I miss the boys!
The series returns to The CW in September, and if the stars align, I’ll be reviewing it on TV Squad. Until then, get caught up with repeats on TNT and The CW, and start your Blu-ray collection with the season one set, released last week on June 15, 2010. Buy it on Amazon.
The six-disc set contains all 22 episodes of the debut season, with commentary by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki on ‘Phantom Traveler,’ and Nutter, Kripke, and producer Peter Johnson on the pilot episode; two making-of documentaries (one on the show itself, and the other on its stars), as well as a brace of unaired scenes and a gag reel round out the set.
More after the jump, including special features and a clip…
