Warner Brothers Television has more than their share of genre shows this year, so they’ll be hitting Comic Con with eleven panels! They’re offering up some great previews, great guests — but so far there are two VERY noticeable names missing from this list — Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. According to the press release, Misha Collins and Jim Beaver will be representing Supernatural. Not that we don’t love those guys, but seeing as this might be their final year at the con, I can’t believe we won’t be seeing the two leads.

Now, before anyone gets violent, schedules do change and it’s possible that the boys might end up as last minute additions. That certainly was the case the past few years where the panel roster changed up to minutes before it was scheduled to begin. So keep your fingers crossed for Winchesters at Comic Con this year.

To keep up with the changes, subcribe to the Warner Brothers Twitter @TheWBdotcom and look for their Con-related website at TheWB.com/ComicCon, coming in July.

With that out of the way, here’s a rundown on all of the Warner Brothers panels and guests.

The Guests:

“The Big Bang Theory”: Johnny Galecki (”Roseanne”), Jim Parsons (”Garden State”), Kaley Cuoco (”Charmed”), executive producer Chuck Lorre (”Two and a Half Men”) and more

“Chuck”: Zachary Levi (upcoming “Alvin and the Chipmunks”), Yvonne Strahovski (upcoming “I Love You Too”), executive producer Josh Schwartz (”Gossip Girl”) and more

“Eastwick”: Rebecca Romijn (”X-Men”), Lindsay Price (”Lipstick Jungle”), Jaime Ray Newman (”Veronica Mars”) and more

“Fringe”: Anna Torv (”The Pacific”), Josh Jackson (”Shutter”), John Noble (”The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”) and more

Michael Ausiello has a HUGE casting spoiler for this coming season of Supernatural. For those of you who don’t like spoilers, stay away from his column because the spoiler is in the headline and on the front page.

If you LOVE spoilers, then click HERE to go to his column.

For spoiler lovers and haters, here’s a nice Sam and Dean picture as a bonus.

The CW Source caught up with Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles at the recent Paley Festival Celebrity Golf Tournament. Listen in while he talks about the finale and where he hopes the show will go from here.

If you love all the shows on The CW, you should make The CW Source a part of your daily rounds.

Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Nope — I think that’s the moon hurtling toward the Earth. It’s all because of a pesky meteor shower that knocked the moon out of its orbit. (I hate when that happens.) Now. . .

“A small group of international astronauts, scientists and soldiers band together in a race against time to save humanity, in the thrilling limited ABC series “Impact,” airing SUNDAY, JUNE 21 and SUNDAY, JUNE 28 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET both nights), on the ABC Television Network.”

The movie stars David James Elliott,  Natasha Henstridge, and James Cromwell, none of whom are in these photos. However, there are bonus points involved if you can identify the Supernatural recurring actor who is in one of these photos. (I’ll give you the answer at the end.)

To Supernatural fans, Richard Speight, Jr is the infamous Trickster from Tall Tales and Mystery Spot but he’s also known for his work on Jericho and Band of Brothers.

Next weekend, he has a very special movie event taking place in San Francisco so he’s written a shout out to the fans:

(message from Richard)

On Saturday, June 13th, there is going to be a charity screening of an independent feature film called NORTH BEACH. Ten years ago, I co-directed and co-starred in this darkish comedy that chronicles a day-in-the-life of a guy trying to salvage his love life in the manic neighborhood of North Beach, right in the heart of San Francisco. The film played 13 festivals in the the U.S. and Europe and received great reviews in The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Jose Mercury News, on Filmcritic.com, etc.

As Warner Brothers officially announces the release date of Season Four on DVD, the Internet is a buzz about the idea of a Season Six for Supernatural.

At last week’s Supernatural convention in the UK, Jared Padalecki was quoted as saying that he and co-star Jensen Ackles both had six year contracts. Where creator Eric Kripke was only signed for five.  This has always been the case, but a half a year ago Jared and Jensen were both leaning heavily on the idea that they’d be leaving when Kripke left — at the end of year five.

Today, TVGuide’s Matt Mitovich addressed the question in his column saying that CW boss Dawn Ostroff might “override” the five year plan and extend the show if the ratings keep going through the roof as they did this past year.

This past weekend, Supernatural fans rolled into the top ten trending topics on Twitter with their live coverage of the Asylum con in the UK. Using the tag #asylm (no U because the proper spelling caused too many unrelated items to fall into the search results) a hand-full of tweeters kept the fandom informed of who said what, to whom and where. Fans all over the world logged in all through the night in order to get the latest updates and it created a party atmosphere that is sure to become a convention must from now on in.

Missed all the fun? You can still check out the #aslym tag, but I’d recommend checking out Supernatural Wiki for more comprehenisve reports.

For a real treat, check out Misha Collins on Twitter and be prepared to be both amused, scared and confused. This really is Misha and that fact has been verified by a number of good sources including the CW publicity head and Misha himself at the con.

Here’s a typical Misha post as he headed out to the con:

It’s not official until tomorrow, but The Hollywood Reporter is saying that The CW is going for Supernatural Thursdays by slotting the new Vampire Diaries in at 8:00 right before Supernatural at 9:00. Smallville will bump to Friday nights which might pair up nicely for viewers who want to switch over to Dollhouse at 9:00.

Vampire Diaries is already on my hot list as it stars Ian Somerhalder as one of two vampire brothers caught in a love triangle with a mortal girl. Wow, two sets of supernatural brothers on Thursday nights, i may need to keep a defibrillator beside my couch!
