Supergirl All About The Ratings!!!!!!

[Kelly]

They need Supergirl to prop up Jane the Virgin because without the compatible lead-in it would likely be doing Crazy ex-Girlfriend numbers. CBS probably demanded it, because right now none of the CBS shows on the network are even close to doing well.

They had hoped Riverdale would be fine paired with Supernatural, but Supernatural had a very low 0.6 (unrounded prelim was like 0.556), so Riverdale didn't really have much help.

As for Glee, by the time it went off the air it was already doing CW ratings, and this was a few years back on Fox.

Oh definitely Glee went down in ratings, the showrunners killed the show, not the fans, so to speak. Glee has outrageously loyal fans, twitter alone proves that, and they know the people who wrote, directed, produced, etc Glee, they know them well, so they really could have done themselves some good by pushing the fact that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is a writer and producer for Riverdale would have garnered a lot of great vibe online. And could have definitely pulled in many more people by pushing the Berlanti edge as well, but they didn't....

I think the CW missed an opportunity with not pairing Supergirl with Riverdale on Monday nights. I think they should have left LoT on Thursdays, and moved Jane The Virgin to Thursdays, chilled with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend until the Summer and put it wherever they wanted it.

Supergirl has its fair share of Glee fans watching because of Melissa, and I think they could have promoted Riverdale as "from the producers who brought you Arrow, Flash, LoT AND GLEE.... and tapped into that fandom and I think their ratings would have been better. Supernatural is not much of a lead in at all....

I could be wrong I think that the LoT move is temporary.

In fairness to the CW, I suspect Thursdays would be in better shape had TGIT not been pushed back to compete with Riverdale's premiere.

The rest of the season will air post-Flash, then iZombie will take that slot.

We don't know what they're going to do next season. They won't announce the fall schedule for many months.

Another weak preliminary rating... 0.7 this time

 

[Kelly]

Yep, will be interesting to see how the other shows do.....it was a down night for all shows on Monday.

 

[vantheman77]

They need to quit focusing on other people and get back on track with Supergirl.

 

[famicommander]

Flash bounced back well last night, hitting a preliminary 1.1 and dragging Legends up with it to a 0.7. Good news. Legends beat SHIELD (0.6).

Gotham and Lucifer are both off until late April so we'll have to see if that benefits Supergirl any.

 

[vantheman77]

So far the viewership this week are as follows:

Flash - 3.04 million
Supergirl - 2.33 million
Legends of Tomorrow - 1.80 million

At the rate things are going, Agents of SHIELD might hit "would get cancelled on the CW" territory before the season is out. . .

Live+Same Day to Live+3 Days increase for Supergirl January 23rd episode.
0.78/2.652 million ... 1.18/3.720 million.

 

[Kelly]

That is a nice boost....interesting to see what the +7 ratings are.

 

[famicommander]

Unrounded final ratings scoreboard from last week

1. Lucifer - 1.23
2. Gotham - 1.13
3. The Flash - 1.09
4. Powerless - 1.08
5. Supergirl - 0.70
6. Legends of Tomorrow - 0.67
7. Arrow - 0.62
8. Agents of SHIELD - 0.61

That's horrible for both Powerless and SHIELD.

 

[Kelly]

I really think that AoS is going to be cancelled, most of the gurus of Ratings on Twitter do too....I never had much hope for Powerless. :/

 

[famicommander]

At this point I don't see any way SHIELD gets renewed. If they renew it they'll be getting 0.4s by the end of next season.

Powerless indeed seems doomed from the start. NBC just doesn't have a finger on the pulse of this superhero craze. First they tried Constantine, which I actually liked, but the execution on early episodes was severely lacking and they also didn't promote it well. Then they revived Heroes, which nobody asked for. And now they try a half hour comedy that had an even more troubled development than Constantine.

 

[NotNickFury]

It's the Agent Carter situation from last year. I could see ABC and Marvel pulling the plug if, like Agent Carter, SHIELD doesn't turn around. And Ghost Rider wasn't the big draw I'm guessing they hoped it would be, plus the move to 10 pm couldn't have helped.

NBC has absolutely no clue what to do with any shows except their dramas, anything out of that wave of shows they are clueless, they also had/have no clue what to do with Emerald City. They shelved it, and I guess decided hey we paid for it, we might as well show the episodes we have in the can. I think the same thing has happened with Powerless.

Supergirl fast preliminary ratings for the Monday, 2/6/17 episode

0.7/2.4 million viewers

Held steady from last week. Was hoping for an uptick with no Gotham this week. But glad it didn't drop from last week's numbers.

For last week, indeed. A little power boost those On Demands

It just exchanged Gotham for 24: Legacy, which is the same demographics...it ticked up a bit in viewers. 2.35 to a 2.4 not much...

Other than their animated opening which features lots of DC characters (though no Supergirl) like the first season and a half of Wonder Woman on ABC, later CBS...Powerless is Hollywood KRYPTONITE! NBC never wanted anything to do with superheroes. Saw a clip of the show on YouTube...I CLICKED ONTO SOMETHING ELSE! What is NBC trying to do...drag down early superheroes on TV?

Glad to see Supergirl held steady from last week.
