Tonight's Supernatural (6x15, I think) - that was the most fun I've had watching an SPN ep in a long time.
Too bad "Misha" got killed; watching him play not-Castiel was SLAYING me every time he was on screen!
But the whole thing was hilarious ... I often find their meta eps a very mixed bag, and I was braced to not enjoy this one or at least for it to be so fannishly self-referential that I'd be having to explain every joke to my husband, but instead, I was laughing and totally entertained the whole way through.
(Though I did have to explain to him that Jared Padelecki and Jensen Ackles were the names of the actors, which is sort of key to getting about 50% of the jokes.)
And the end ... hee! It wasn't exactly knock-your-socks-off brilliant TV, but I think this goes right up there with SG1's "200" as one of the best fourth-wall-breaking episodes I've seen (among shows that don't make fourth-wall-breaking a regular part of their schtick, obviously). I think one of the things that cracked me up hardest is that they didn't try to imply that this is the "real world" -- the characters know it's not their real world and they just want to get back to the world of demons and angels, where everything makes sense! *g*
ETA: Apparently Misha Collins actually Tweeted his character's tweets from the show while the episode was airing. *dies quietly*

Someone in the other comments said that Jensen is very private, which might be why they left his life alone.
But, yeah, awfully fun episode. :D
