When Sam and Dean are not saving the world from an oncoming apocalypse or bickering over keeping secrets from each other, they occasionally get to have a mystery that is just pure fun, with no dire consequences looming in the wings. The episode titled ScoobyNatural is a great example of the showrunners knowing exactly what…
