If there was not the supernatural, what would there be?? I like the supernatural aspect to the show, and it is part of the reason why I have fallen in love with it. Ever since the first episodes where Sarah sees BOB, it has been supernatural. It did not just become silly and supernatural during the second season. It has been silly and supernatural all along! But, that's why it's so good! -- Dale, Harry, Shelley, Bobby, Benjamin, Donna, Audrey, Will, Norma, James, Ed, Pete, Leland, Josie, Catherine, Leo, Andy, Hawk, Madeleine, Laura, Lawrence, Sarah, Lucy, Jerry, Hank, Albert, Blackie, Briggs, Betty, Loglady, Mike, Nadine, Eileen, Sylvia, One-armed, dwarf, BOB, Ronette, singer, Johnny, Diane
