Supergirl All About The Ratings!!!!!!

The cast and show runners along with the CW are VERY HAPPY WITH the numbers of this first episode. They were all a twitter.

Supergirl actually did better than Flash this week. A 1.1/ 3.02 million viewers for Supergirl vs 1.0/ 2.75 million for Flash. Making Supergirl the #1 show for the CW.
Granted this was the Supergirl premiere episode vs the second Flash episode. But who is to say that in the following weeks Supergirl won't maintain its lead.
 
Here are the ad rates for the current comic book TV shows. This is the cost per 30 seconds of ad time

Gotham: $130,674.00
Lucifer: $126,798.00
Agents of SHIELD: $107,904.00
The Flash: $60,660.00
Supergirl: $54,667.00
Arrow: $40,368.00
Legends of Tomorrow: $37,033.00

The advertisers probably aren't going to be super happy about Gotham, SHIELD, and Lucifer costing 2-3X as much as the CW shows but putting up only marginally better ratings, if any better at all.
 
That is interesting....
 
How in the heck does AOS, Lucifer and Gotham cost that much? Especially with the Flash doing as well in the demos, if not better.
 
The CW still has a really negative stigma attached to it. Flash is really the first show to start to change that.

I wonder what the ad rates were for Supergirl last year than made CBS decide not to keep it.
 
Out of all the CW superhero shows this week, Supergirl is the highest rated show.
 
It's also been the best episode so far of any of them IMO
 
It's cool to see Supergirl's 2nd season premiere getting an encore as I wonder if the rest of the 2nd season will get future encores.

I just hope the CW runs Supergirl reruns on the Monday off nights. Unlike those jackanapes at CBS who never ran a single Supergirl rerun on Mondays and instead stuck us with Big Bang reruns.

Well, you have to be unbiased here and realize that TBBT brought in more money for CBS than Supergirl, so that is understandable. AND, they were planning on showing reruns in the Summer....probably not the double header kind of reruns that the CW ran, which I thought was fantastic, but reruns were on order for CBS.

Actually they did rerun one episode, it was "Livewire"(on December 21, 2015). But I concur that the CW should run reruns.
 
As I'm reading through the other threads, I am seeing the beginnings of something that really screws up the vibe of a forum, and that is fanboy/girl competition with ratings between superhero series.

Soooooo..... with that said, can we PLEASE not get into arguments on which CW series is better, higher ratings, etc....it is pointless and totally gets conversations off track quickly, as well as gets people infracted. So, let's all remember that the CW M-Th nights are very much a family of superhero shows, and we should be rooting for all of them to do well, because when 1 does well, they all benefit. Just keep that in mind please....
 
I don't see anybody claiming one show is better or worse based on the ratings.

As for the ratings themselves, there really can't be a (rational) debate. It's a simple matter of which number is bigger than the other when you're comparing shows on the same network. Cross network comparisons are a different matter.
 
Just precautionary notes, that is all....

Yes...I know.

The TV listings did have Livewire listed initially but then they changed that to and ran a Big Bang episode where I live so I assumed they did that for the rest of the country.

We got a rerun of that episode as well here in Houston.
 
If last week's premiere got 3 million, how much do you think last night's episode will get in comparison?
