While I'm sure it's changed a bit with the expansion of satellite television and what not, it's still not a fair comparison, because for a long time, the exposure that both shows got was entirely different.

Let's not forget that for a number of years, Supernatural was up in the same day and time slot as another show that was devouring everything in it's path in terms of ratings, American Idol, as well as competing against the NFL on Thursday nights. =(

You're right, it's not fair and I'm sure that maybe on another network or at a different time it would have majorly different numbers but unfortunately these are the numbers as they are. It only has a cult following, but maybe that would be what attracts Funko to do it.
