Even though the loss of Ellsworth on Deadwood (what a tremendous piece of art) and even Deadwood itself is pretty crippling, I'm so pleased to see him turn up on my favorite show, Supernatural. Another show that gets mentioned now and again critically, but I think people would love it if they gave it an eighth of a chance.
One reason is Jim Beaver as Bobby Singer.
It's a small role, but so significant in that the characters in that show have so few people who know them who they can trust or who even show them any genuine kindness. And it's nice to see that kind of person who seems tough and smart and "regular" - but still has emotional depth. Um, hey, kinda like Deadwood.
Anyway, wonderful actor. -

Oh Yeah Bobby is my MOST favorite character outside of Sam and Dean tb68hemselves (along with the great Missiouri Mosely). They're the ONLY characters other than Sam and Dean (and of course the late John) I would like to see on MORE.

Yessssss! Bobby is fantastic. And the credit definitely goes to JB - his performance is what makes us love the character. Delighted that he's a recurring character - I've felt that he fit quite seamlessly into Season 2, a very good presence. Looks like he'll be around for Season 3 - hooray!
(Just watched the SPN finale tonight, and my pre-existing affection for Bobby has now progressed to out-and-out fangirly delight.) -

Oh yeah Bobby was in top form last night. The scene where he confronts Dean about his deal is just so fatherly it's heart breaking and they're surely going to need a demon expert like him around with the war and trying to get Dean off the hook.
I just with Ellen had FIANLLY died. I HATE her.

Bobby rules. Jim Beaver is an amazing actor. He totally floored me for the "I could throttle you" speech. I mean, damn, the man can act. He also works really well off Ackles and Padalecki, two other absolutely stunning actors. I've really enjoyed his presence in season 2, and hope he'll pop in for season three. Bobby's a great character.
"Oh, you two are just breaking my heart. Can we go already??"

I have to say he's probalby the only character without the last name Winchester who has come close to being as popular as the Winchesters themselves (Missiouri is probably a close second but we need to see her again to really judge that).

Oh yes! I love Bobby. He's like their dad now that John is gone. To me Bobby feels like more than just a reoccurring charachter. (But of course I watch the show religiously and I get to love every charachter in it )
I wish we would see more of Bobby in S3 (and Ellen too)
And I agree, that scene with Dean at the season finale was one that blew me away. It really made me love Bobby even more. He really cares for those boys.
Jim Beaver nailed that scene! ;D -

Last I heard Ellen was out (she claims the network said they wanted younger recurring female characters)but the more Bobby the better.

Honestly, her and Jo never set very well with me so news that Ellen is apprently out and the girl that played Jo is otherwise engaged is kind of good. However, since I'm reasonably sure Ellen is the Roadhouse snitch and Ash is toast I'm guessing her being gone isn't forever and she will come back just to cause trouble. Either that or the rumor that John Snider (late of "Smallville") will be on and her dead husband will be used as a way to resolve all of the Ellen/Jo stuff without them.
Of course right now a lot of people are much more worried about the NEW characters coming in.

Bobby is the heart of the Winchester boys. He keeps the boys in line when need be.
Now I am curious about season 4 and Bobby; what exactly happened to him at the end of Season 3 finale?
He better be back and hopefully in more episodes.
Sam: "What am 111cI going to do?"
Dean: "Keep fighting; take care of my wheels." -

I'm just really glad that they brought Bobby back after season 1, rather than have him as a one-off character. And I'm glad that he sort of got his own episode in S3 (DaLDOM). When I saw him in S2, I was cheering inside.
His acting is always top-notch and the way he acts with the brothers is priceless at times (eg. 'Tall Tales'he had me in stitches just with his expressions). I hope he is back with a vengeance in S4. I just hope that the producers don't decide that he is disposable. The demon army has nothing on a mob of pissed-off fans.
There was a signature here, but it's gone now. -

You are absolutely right evilneverdies! They can't kill Bobby off. Ever.
Even though he is only a reoccuring character, he is so crucial to the boys. And are the boys going to ever need him next season!
