There are similarities, but you could say that about any "hip" show. What about Grimm? Tremors? Dresden Files? Being Human? It's more important how many differences there are:
Sam and Dean are travelling, not static in one location ie Sunnydale
There are basically only two main characters
There is an overall story arc, and while there was one in Buffy, later, it wasn't apparent as it is in Supernatural from the get-go
The boys face generally different monsters most weeks, unlike with Buffy where it's more or less vampires, vampires and, um, vampires. Oh, and vampires.
Main "bad guy" pretty much all through the series (what I've seen of it anyway)
I found it to be highly original, and apart from some superficial similarities, would definitely not compare it to Buffy, which was a totally different animal altogether.
