Yeah, the show kind of abandoned that after the first two seasons. It kind of went back to it when they introduced the angels and brought in the bigger mytharc in the fourth season, but the show has never remained consistent on what kind of atmosphere this universe should be. Some things they used to take seriously they don't anymore.
In any case, I do suspect that this episode will be like "Changing Channels", in that the concept appears to be ridiculous but there is something else underneath it all that relates to the bigger issues they are dealing with. I know from spoilers that 8.07 and 8.08 will be big with what is happening re: Castiel.
