I've always been of the opinion that Supernatural is a high quality show and that the first couple of seasons were very very good and the rest have simply been very good, which when compared to each other doesn't make them look good, but against other shows Supernatural is head and shoulders above.It isn't at this stage. It is still renewed on a season by season basis. I think it is an example of why you should sometimes stick with a show that might be going through a lull.
It dropped off a little bit for a couple of seasons and you could have said that it had run its course and was out of stories. I loved S9 (I'll admit getting a little worried when Oz came into it - but those quirky side eps are actually part of what makes it a great show IMO.) and am now eagerly awaiting S10. The situation now opens up many possibilities.
The only episode I truly didn't like has been the 'Bloodlines' episode a few weeks back (the semi-pilot episode) that was awful.
