MUST...WATCH...ALL...TV

Supernatural's gone strong for, what, nine seasons? I think this will get two, at least.

Honestly the model for how the show may succeed is probably closer to Grimm. Not as much of a successful breakout like Once Upon A Time, but still a major network show that will probably find a slot somewhere and earn enough viewers in that slot to stick around for a while, if it manages past the first bump. But I doubt it will be a super long run like Supernatural, which has lots of strange factors at work for why it's been able to go on for so long.

E: I mean, in same ways I agree because it shows Hurley as a goddamn cave troll or some poo poo and thats hilarious

Was going to type a bunch of stuff, but Wikipedia just makes it easier :

The first season premiered as the top-rated drama series. The pilot episode was watched by 13 million viewers and received a 4.0 rating/share among 18–49 year olds. It was the season's highest-rated drama debut among the age range and ABC's biggest debut in five years. With DVR viewers, the premiere climbed to 15.5 million viewers and a 5.2 rating/share in adults 18–49. The show's next three episodes had consistent ratings every week with over 11 million viewers. The series has become the number one non-sports program with viewers and young adults on Sunday nights.

The second season premiered to 12 million people, and though it's fallen off a bit, it's a Sunday show still in the top 20 18-49 rankings and it has a spinoff show premiering along side it in October.

So yes, I'd say it's pretty successful. I'm guessing ABC and any other network would agree.
