The time has come to catch up on the epic adventures of Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) on Supernatural, as The CW has signed a 4-year deal to make past and future episodes of many of their hit television series available for instant streaming.

In total, Netflix will be adding over 700 hours of television programming from The CW to their continuously growing catalog. Beginning October 18, previous seasons of The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and Nikita will be available to watch instantly. Unfortunately, for fans of Supernatural (and 90210), you will have to wait until January 2012 to catch up on past episodes.

Additionally, plans are set in place to bring episodes from all scripted series airing on The CW this year to Netflix by the end ...

This week on DVD and Blu-ray the television series dominate. Two weak new movie releases are overshadowed by four popular television shows hitting home video. The highlight of the week is a great crop of re-releases on Blu-ray, including four Coen Brothers movies, Top Gun, Good Will Hunting and the 3D Blu-ray for The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Coen Brothers Collection may be the best title of the week, but technically it’s a lackluster collection. Of course, it depends on your taste in their films, but of the more memorable ones are left out. The Big Lebowski hit Blu-ray just recently, yet it is not in this collection. Instead the collection focuses on their earlier works like Fargo, Miller’s Crossing, Raising Arizona and Blood Simple.

The following titles can be found on DVD and Blu-ray.

Season 2 of The Vampire Diaries concludes tonight and with so a number of characters biting the proverbial (wooden or silver) bullet this season, especially in the last episode, could another main character meet his end?

With Elijah and Klaus nowhere to be found, Elena in mourning and Damon’s wound getting worse, how will the season 2 finale of The Vampire Diaries conclude its story arcs? Read our review and join in on the discussion to find out!

Last week’s episode, ‘The Sun Also Rises,’ saw Klaus’ master plan play out, although not the way anyone expected. After succeeding in saving Caroline (Klaus’ sacrificial vampire) and Tyler (Klaus’ sacrificial werewolf), and attempting to convert Elena into a vampire against her will so she could resurrect after the ritual, Damon paid the price ...

The CW has announced that two of television’s fan-favorite series, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries, have just been given early pick-ups for next season.

While this renewal announcement isn’t likely to surprise fans of either series, this early reveal speaks to the confidence that The CW has in its current lineup. And, more importantly, shows fans just how excited The CW is about continuing both series.

Since it’s move to Friday night at the beginning of season 5, Supernatural has been able to thwart television’s infamous “death-slot” (where series go to be canceled). Combining its fan-power with that of Smallville, Supernatural has been able to keep a good majority of its original Thursday night audience.

With series stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki already signed on for seasons 7 and 8, and The ...

Ready your DVR and replace the batteries in your remote (and, no, switching them around doesn’t count), because it’s that time of year again – to say goodbye to many of your favorite television shows.

While most, if not all, of your favorites shows will be returning this fall, there happens to be a select few series that are signing off for good – even if they’re not yet aware of it. The most notable television show coming to an end this year is Smallville. After 10 years on the air, fans will finally see Clark Kent embrace his destiny and become Superman.

Even though Smallville isn’t the only series coming to an end, it is one of the only shows to have officially scheduled its series finale. As many other series finales ...

The Vampire Diaries attracted quite a crowd at C2E2 this year – but before the panel,  myself and a handful of other journalists had the opportunity to sit down with executive producer Julie Plec and stars Candice Accola (Caroline) & Michael Trevino (Tyler) for a round table discussion about how season two has developed – and where the show goes from here.

Caroline and Tyler were relegated to minor (and sometimes inconsequential) roles in the first season, but season two of The Vampire Diaries has seen them emerge as far more complex and interesting characters – due in large part to the supernatural transformations both of them have endured.

One of the benefits of putting a greater emphasis on the ensemble instead of focusing primarily on Elena, Stefan, and Damon is that ...

With the recent resurgence of vampires in pop culture, many were quick to write off The Vampire Diaries as nothing more than the latest attempt to cash in on the craze. Those who gave it a chance quickly learned that there was more to the series than the initial previews let on. Now in its second season, the show has effectively carved out its own path and a legion of devoted fans continues to expand.

The Vampire Diaries was represented at C2E2 this year by executive producer Julie Plec and cast members Candice Accola (Caroline) and Michael Trevino (Tyler). Before the panel, the trio participated in a round table discussion regarding their thoughts on how the characters had ...

As we edge ever closer to the biggest movie award ceremony around, the Oscars, we have another set of nominations to mull over: The 37th Annual Saturn Awards.

While the Oscars, Golden Globes and the BAFTAs tend to recognize the more “serious” films (some would say in a way that is out of touch), award ceremonies like the Saturn Awards nominate films that average moviegoers would likely champion as their favorites of the year – not to mention the ceremony also recognizes the best TV shows and DVD release the year had to offer.

Last year the Saturn Awards were dominated by a little film called Avatar (you may have heard of it), but as you’ll see below fan favorite Inception dominates things this year with a whopping nine nominations, while other popular films like ...
