The Winchesters pay homage to the murder mystery genre in this week's comedic episode. Here's Becky's review...

10.6 Ask Jeeves
Given how strong the 200th episode, Fan Fiction, was, I was a little worried that what followed it might be a dip in quality, particularly if we were swiftly dropped back into Winchester angst immediately. Instead, Ask Jeeves opts for the comedic approach and it makes for a great follow-up as the boys find themselves in a real-life version of Clue (Cluedo for us UK residents).

Cases are lacking so Sam and Dean head across to New Canaan, Connecticut where they swiftly become embroiled in family squabbles and the odd murder or two. Or four.

Many a Broadway musical spent time at a regional theater to iron out the wrinkles; current Broadway smash “Kinky Boots” had a well-received run in Chicago last year.

Based on Oscar Wilde’s comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest” but set in swinging ’60s London, the production stars Tony and Olivier Award nominee Euan Morton, Hayden Tee, and Maureen McVerry.

The seventh season of "Supernatural" began on Friday, and while the Castiel-as-God and Castiel-as-Leviathan storyline is a refreshing new spin on the usual big bad formula, we have to admit... we kind of miss the Castiel who considered pizza boy porn tropes to be his sexual education.
Luckily, "Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 6," a richly detailed look back at one of our favorite Winchester years, is set to be released on Tuesday. The book is packed with insight on every episode, as well as in-depth analyses of characters like Samuel Campbell and Lisa Braeden.
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles contributed heavily to the book, so if you're curious about how Jared worked with the writers to develop soulless Sam or about the challenges of Jensen's first directing gig, you'll definitely want to pick this one up.
In the meantime, we've got an exclusive excerpt for you below. It's a...
