‘Supernatural’ Goes Channel Surfing

The CW has released promo pictures from Supernatural‘s upcoming eighth episode, “Changing Channels,” which airs Nov. 5.

I can’t wait for this episode because:

  1. The Trickster is back.
  2. The episode ribs on several popular TV genres, including three of Supernatural‘s time slot competitors.
  3. Jared gets to put those goofy looks he’s always giving the camera in the Supernatural DVD gag reels to good use with his David Caruso impression.
  4. It was written by Jeremy Carver, who was responsible for some of my favorite episodes (“In the Beginning,” “Mystery Spot”).

A summary of the episode follows.

When Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) find themselves living their lives on what appear to be TV shows, it makes for a whole new style of reality television and they wonder if the Trickster (guest star Richard Speight, Jr.) is to blame.  From a sitcom to a soapy hospital drama to a Japanese game show to a crime procedural, each new experience they encounter is more bizarre than the next and they want out.  But is the Trickster really the mastermind behind the madness?  Also starring Misha Collins as ‘Castiel.’  “Changing Channels” was written by Jeremy Carver and directed by Charles Beeson.

In the promo pictures behind the cut, the Winchesters take on a Grey’s Anatomy-type hospital and Dr. Sexy.
