1. Supernatural was originally going to be called Unnatural.

2. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles were voted People Magazine's "Sexiest Ghostbusters" in 2005.

3. Jensen Ackles planned to study Sports Medicine and become a physical therapist before moving to LA to become an actor.

4. Dean has killed the most main antagonists on the show.

Including Azazel, Dick Roman, Eve, and Ruby.

5. Padalecki's dogs Harley and Sadie share his trailer with him on set.

They also starred with Ackles in PETA's "If you wouldn't wear your dog..." campaign.

6. The license plate on the Impala is KAZ2Y5

Which is a subtle reference to the Winchester's home state Kansas and the year 2005 when the Supernatural premiered.

7. The brothers come from the bloodline of Cain and Abel.

According to Archangel Michael in the episode "The Song Remains the Same."

8. Dean has entered the most number of realms.

Including Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Avalon (The homeland of the fairies)

9. Jensen Ackles starred in a TV Movie called Blonde, where his best friend's name was Cass.

10. Jim Beaver’s character (Bobby) was only supposed to make a one-time appearance.

11. Dean Winchester is allergic to cats.

12. The Latin inscription on the barrel of the Colt says ‘non timebo mala’.

Which translates to ‘I will fear no evil’.

13. Sam always wins at Rock, Paper, Scissors against his brother.

Dean always chooses Scissors.

14.The original concept for the show had a reporter going to investigate the urban legends and writing about them in his column.

Absolutely nothing to do with the Winchester Brothers. (And aren't we glad that changed??)

15. The deleted scene of Dean lip syncing "Eye of the Tiger" was ad libbed by Jensen Ackles.

The crew had decided to play a joke and stop Jared Padalecki from hitting his queue to interrupt Jensen's initial (and scripted) scene.

For a short period, you could call Dean's phone.

If you called 866-907-3235, you'd hear Jensen Ackles reading the message "This is Dean Winchester, if this is an emergency, please leave a message. If you are calling about 11-2-83, page me with your coordinates.'' 11/2/83 is the date of Mary Winchester's death.

They have changed the number and message since then. If you call 866-907-3235 now, you will hear "Dad? We really need to hear from you. Leave me a message, text me, check your jwinchester1246 email(a working email address). Anything. We have new info. "

Update: I tried the number and it no longer works. Boo.

17. The only known sources of income for the Winchesters are credit card scams, poker games and playing pool.

18.According to set director George Nevman, the set for Bobby's place had around 5000-6000 books.

"All over the place in stacks, waist-high in books, the entire set. Up the stairs, even, everywhere you looked there were stacks of books, books, books."

19. Season 1 had a budget of just $20,000. This includes actor wages and the special effects budget.

20. The series has also developed an expanded universe.

Three six-issue comic book mini-series have been published depicting the early lives of John, Sam, and Dean Winchester.

It gets weirder, but at least there's a plot line rather than just random episodes. The 1st season is important; it gets referenced a lot.

20k for season one? That has to be per episode.

12 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

20k is so obviously a lie that i cannot even begin to describe it, even per episode. Current budget per season is 50 million.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I think he meant to write 20 million, caue that would be low budget for a series.

12 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

That was my thought as well. There are minimum salaries that legally need to be met for actors and directors. Plus the entire crew. No way.

I'm gonna go with per episode

12 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I'm gonna go with lie, it might have been the cost of the pilot (doubtful) but 20k buys you about 1-2 days of shooting. no script or actors.

12 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

just to give you a realistic picture 20 million would be low budget with the production quality of this show.

Perhaps that's what it was and the misheard/read. I have no experience or knowledge in that area so I true what you say. Thanks.

It seems to be an urban legend of some sort cause it props up everywhere on the internet when i search, except ofc any official sites

their budget per season in 2011 was 50 million per season. 2-2.2 mill per episode.

Twice is more of a minimum requirement to be any kind of important character.

I understand that. I would've set the standard as "must appear after death". bobby, joe, ellen, rufus, mary, john, dr. badass, it goes on.

also Dean won Rock Paper Scissors once, and he was dam pround of it to.

Yeah, but that was in "My Heart Will Go On". It's an altered timeline, which is why he can win at Rock Paper Scissors.
