Just found out why CW pushed both shows back a week, and I actually think its a good idea that they did.
If you've already circled March 5 on your calendar, I hope you wrote it in pencil. While Smallville and Supernatural were originally scheduled to return with new episodes on that day, today the CW revealed that their returns are being pushed back yet another week to March 12.
No official reason was given for this delay, but odds are it has something to do with a little show called American Idol. On March 5, American Idol will have its final semi-final round where the judges select the final three singers who will compete in the top 12. Rather than put new episodes of Smallville and Supernatural up against it, the CW may be holding them back one week so that their shows aren't in the line of fire of TV's most popular show. The delay may frustrate fans, but when looking at the bigger picture, it may be better to avoid the slaughter.
**SPOILER WARNING**
I'm posting the link to the article where I got that from, but it does contain a spoiler for the next episode, Death Takes A Holiday. Click at your own risk!
