Vote for your favorite Supernatural episodes.

After so many seasons on air, it can be difficult picking the best Supernatural episodes of all time. Some are absolute hits while others land a bit far from the mark. So who else to decide which are the best Supernatural episodes than fans such as yourself? That's why this list exists--so you can vote for your favorites and we can find out once and for all what everyone thinks the best episode is. Below you'll find Supernatural episodes, ranked from best to worst as voted on by fans of the series.

With so many memorable episodes of the show, over fifteen seasons, it's hard to trust just one person's opinion of what the top Supernatural episodes of all time are. Fans of Supernatural are extremely passionate about the show, and there is often debate over which episodes are better than others. If you like Supernatural, then you probably also enjoy other great CW shows currently on air - though originally Supernatural aired on The WB before moving to The CW, and is the last WB show still on air.

So is your favorite Supernatural episode season one's "Faith" or season five's trippy "Changing Channels"? Get started voting on what you think are the best Supernatural episodes.

It consists of the twenty-first and twenty-second episodes of the second season. "Part One" was first broadcast on May 10, 2007, and the second part aired the following week on May 17, 2007. The narrative follows series protagonist Sam Winchester —a young man who travels the continental United States with his brother Dean hunting supernatural creatures—as he is abducted by series villain Azazel and sent to an abandoned town. Azazel intends to find a leader for his demon army by having Sam and other psychic children like him fight to the death. Sam is eventually killed, but is resurrected after Dean sells his soul. The sole survivor, Jake, is sent by Azazel to a cemetery protected against demons, where he opens a gateway to Hell. At the end of the episode, Azazel is finally killed by Dean with the mystical Colt revolver, but not before hundreds of demons are released into the world. The production process was plagued with problems, and changes had to be made throughout filming.
