The Must List: Ranking the Best in 25 Years of Pop Culture

The Greats CULT TV WHETHER THEY LASTED ONE SEASON OR MANY, THESE BINGE-WORTHY SHOWS INSPIRE PASSIONATE REACTIONS

-pg 98

The WB (2005); The CW (2006-present)

This series started with a pretty straightforward premise-hot guys (brothers Dean and Sam Winchester) kill spooky things-but it didn't stay that way. The characters have literally been to hell and back, and they've woven a mythology filled with friends, foes, and inside jokes (Wincest!). The series also mocked the sillier aspects of its own existence-an approach that helped it build a hyperpassionate community. SECRET HANDSHAKE: A fan won't take offense at being called "idjit."

CREATION STANDS For Actors, Artists, and Causes: “Hi All, We have exciting news! After a long gestation, we’ll soon be launching CREATION STANDS, Creation Entertainment’s new online shop, featuring licensed fan-created merchandise and Creation produced items from Star Trek, Supernatural, and The Vampire Diaries. Enter your email on our new shop website and you’ll receive early access to the site prior to our launch to the public. Creation Stands was founded to support the properties we love with our fellow fans as well as fan artists, the actors that we’ve come to know at our conventions and elsewhere, and the causes that are important to them. We’re creating dedicated pages for actors that highlight their favorite causes as well as showcase great new merchandise featuring their characters, much of which is designed by fan artists. You can look forward to a number of actors blogging about their favorite cause and the shows or movies that feature them. The site also sells merchandise that, in the past, has only been available at conventions. Be one of the first to see what fans have created! Creation really Stands behind our actors that are involved in our new project: we donate a portion of profits of all character-related merchandise to our actor’s favorite charities. We’re very excited to launch this new commerce, community and cause platform. We hope you’ll accept our invitation for a sneak peek.

Thanks! The Creation Stands Team Creation Stands for Actors, Artists and Causes”
