I don't remember if I watched the pilot episode when it first aired, but I do remember it used to be on the WB and then moved to CW. I didn't have digital cable at the time, so I missed the next couple of seasons. I only got back into it again after a friend reminded me of how awesome it was, and after I got digital cable. I now have all 5 seasons on DVD :]
I was very young when the pilot aired, but I still saw it because my aunt liked the idea of it. i was at her house and I begged her to watch it, so, reluctantly, she let me. And I fell in love! I was awed and horrified and interested and it sparked a love of horror. I've followed it ever since, even though I had to go back and re-watch some of it, to jog my memory. Oh---and I've been a Sam girl since the very beginning. <3
I didn't watch it on TV, but like a year ago on a computer online.
I though 'damn, those brothers are freakin' HOT.'
I became a Dean girl, then a Sam girl, then a Dean girl, and now i cant decide. :D
I think I was about 10 at that time and it was really late(for me) and I was thinking; "I'm SO gonna have nightmares about this..." But I really loved the storyline and the scary-ness! Since I didn't see how cute Jensen & Jared were 'till I was like 12 or 13 or so :P.
