What are your reasons to love or like Supernatural?
Is it the boys, the stories, the gore?
For me its not the gore, I am not a great fan of the horror genre at all, but I like films like "the Ring".
Supernatural lives and breathes. For me its the characters, who are just great developed and acted. I like, that you know them so well but still don't necessarily know everything about them and that there is always the possibility that something is going on behind your back.
Then its the stories, which first started with a little bit "monsters of the week" but since the main storyline got its grip its getting stronger and stronger. Not that it started weak at all.
You never know how the next episode will be - is it funny, is is sad or creepy, or is it everything from hilarious to depressing.
Oh, and I love how they make an earnest episode and are still able to put one or two scenes inside which crack me up - without ruining the story.
There are so many more points I could picture out (like playing with genres or tropes), but first I'd love to see your points
Edit: To distinguish this from the general discussion, I thought this to be more a meta discussion about the whole show and its concepts.
