Congrats to Supergirl. With that rating, this is what Supergirl would have drawn if not for the NFL pre-emptions and Dancing With The Stars.

The only episode that came close to this rating was the premiere, which had the first full appearance of Superman.

If Supergirl performs anything like Arrow, this could be the highest rating it ever does on CW.

It may have been in the 0.8-0.9 range more consistently but Supergirl would not be putting up these ratings on a weekly basis, preemptions or no, regardless of competition.

This rating is the Flash effect. It happened on Supergirl for last year's crossover and it has happened two years in a row on Arrow.
 
Now that is a great rating. Though I wonder if it will effect the ratings for the rest of the crossover since people tuned in expecting the crossover to begin. They really should used this episode to be a very strong episode due to amount of people that would tune in.
 
Arrow could use the ratings boost from Flash lol. The ratings have been going down since they had Felicity break up with Oliver in episode 15 last year. That ending really annoyed a lot of people. It wasn't because of Oliver and Felicity breaking up, but rather them giving too much focus and importance to relationship drama when they should have been focusing on other stuff that seemed to put a lot of people off the show. A lot of people did not like how Felicity was behaving either.
 
Arrow is experiencing a normal decline for a show approaching 100 episodes.

Besides, almost every show on TV has declined significantly in the last two years, including ratings monsters like the NFL and Big Bang Theory.

Fans like to point out certain moments in a show's history to explain things away but it's not that simple.

If you told the CW five years ago that Arrow would still be doing well above the network average and that it spawned an entire multiverse consisting of multiple prime time TV series plus multiple web series, they'd be doing backflips.

Very doubtful that it is THAT reason, simply because even if a few 100 Nielsen raters left for that particular reason, it wouldn't be that big of an impact.

The biggest impact on EVERY SHOW out there is the viewing habits of people today. People just are not watching live TV as much...

The time spent viewing traditional TV (live viewing) over the past 5 years has dropped about 38%...ALL SHOWS are seeing this.

I wouldn't have minded that, IF it were getting another episode next week. Since it isn't, I'm glad they allowed it a proper Winter Finale...
 
The final ratings have been delayed. It takes them almost a week to catch up after a holiday like Thanksgiving.

But back to Flash... wow. Fantastic performance last night.
 
Season highs and lows for all the comic shows on broadcast TV
The Flash: high -1.5, low-1.0 (average: 1.14)
Gotham: high-1.3, low-1.0 (average: 1.13)
Lucifer: high-1.3, low-0.9 (average: 1.09)
Supergirl: high-1.1, low-0.6 (average: 0.86)
Agents of SHIELD: high-1.1, low-0.8 (average: 0.85)
Arrow: high-0.7, low-0.6 (average: 0.67)
Legends of Tomorrow: high-0.6, low-0.6 (average: 0.62)

It looks like a 0.6 might be the baseline for Arrowverse shows. Season low for Arrow, Supergirl, and Legends. Supergirl did it on Halloween and I believe Arrow was against the World Series. Maybe we'll see Legends hit some 0.5s later in the season but the Flash lead-in may compensate for the daylight savings decline. Lucifer and Gotham also did their season lows on Halloween.

Just for fun, anyone have predictions on the ratings for the final two parts of Invasion?

I was a little bit pessimistic on Supergirl and way too pessimistic on Flash, so I'll try to be optimistic on my predictions for Arrow and Legends
Arrow: 1.0
Legends of Tomorrow: 0.9

Last week Arrow did a 0.66 and Legends did a 0.64, so in rounded terms we're looking at a gain of .3 each. Flash picked up .4 and Supergirl picked up .2, so I thought I'd split the difference.
 
Hmmm....I hate giving predictions because I'm really bad at it....but I'll bite.

I will say .9 for both Arrow and LOT.

I wonder why this week was the season finale of Supergirl. Especially in that Supergirl started a week later than Flash and Arrow. I would have preferred the Supergirl episode was more involved in the cross-over this week
and then have done the Medusa episode next week. Something like the Dominators invade Earth 38 first, and team Supergirl drives them off so they flee to Earth 1 and Supergirl follows them there.

The fact that Supergirl had a 100% increase in the last two Live+7 ratings sort of indicates that. From a 0.6 to a 1.2 and a 0.7 to a 1.4. Also a 1.6 million and a 1.7 million increase in total viewers.
Arrow also picked up a million more viewers in L+7.

Could be several reasons...contracts of the actors, giving Melissa some much deserved down time, allowing for more tweeking of possible CGI heavy episodes coming up...I think they have filmed through Episode 10. Who knows....
 
I feel like Episode 9 might be pretty FX heavy. I was listening to Kevin Smith's show Fatman on Batman, and he was talking about how his episode is something different and they "go places" and couldn't say more - and I remember that crewmember posting a t-shirt saying "I went to [redacted] and back with Kevin Smith and Supergirl" so I feel like something's up with that episode which might require a little more time in post.

But yeah, it could just be a contract thing too, since Episode 8 ("Hostile Takeover") was also the fall-finale last year.
 
Supergirl's final rating (1.1) received no adjustment but its lead out, Jane the Virgin, dropped one tenth to 0.4.

Supergirl was also the #2 show on network TV last night in the 18-34 demographic, trailing only The Voice. Supergirl's 0.9 was two tenths better than Gotham or Lucifer (both 0.7).

Gotham adjusted down to 1.0 and Lucifer adjusted down to 1.1.

Flash's final won't be out until tomorrow morning but the unrounded number suggests it likely won't change either. It's at a 1.501

Also, I misspoke earlier.

Yes, all the websites were reporting that the CW was preempted for football, but it was actually Fox in Green Bay and ABC in Philadelphia and Milwaukee.

The bold part is where my confusion is coming in. Neither Gotham or Lucifer was .7.

Read the post again, Fam is talking about a specific demographic... 18-34. Not, the 18-49 demo which is what is shown on rating sites.

Well, I hope that Melissa gets some rest....I think this crossover was really tough on even a young buck (doe). ;)
 
Arrow did a massive 1.3 rating last night, its highest since last year's crossover (1.4) and tied with Arrow's series premiere way back in 2012.

The only episodes that have ever been above a 1.3 for Arrow were previous Flash crossovers.

Again, this shows what a poor decision it was for Supergirl's episode to not be a fully fledged part of the hi-jinks. Maybe they'll be smarter about it next year.

Now I'm thinking Legends may hit a 1.1-1.2
 
The Supergirl 11/14/16 episode increased 86% in the Live+7 ratings. From a 0.7 to a 1.3. Not as good as the last two weeks, which had a 100% increase. But still good.
Also picked up 1.4 million more viewers, for a total of 3.85 million for the week, a 58% increase from the Live+Same Day

They did that way because of me.....I knew as soon as I said .9 for both, they would blow it out of the water....and they did. :cwink: I am HORRIBLE at predictions.
