CBS' SUPERGIRL Debuts With Huge Ratings For CBS Network!

After much anticipation and being a hit with critics (96% with an average critic rating of 7.4/10 on RottenTomatoes as of this writing) CBS' new series, Supergirl, finally had its premiere last night and it looks like it was a massive hit in ratings! CBS' Supergirl soared with a 3.1 rating/10 share in adults 18-49 with a total of 12.95 million viewers, tying NBC's Blindspot as the fall's top premiere and leading in total viewers for new shows. Much of this success probably has to do with its lead in being The Big Bang Theory, as it retained 70% of that series' young adult audience, but next week Supergirl has to try to make it on her own as it won't TV's number one comedy as its lead it. So ComicBookMovie community, if you saw last nights premiere, what did you think of it? Also do where do you think the ratings will go? Up or down? Let me know in the comment section below!

@ManCalledSting - you're right dude.People who thought that they'll fight the whole movie are going on full retard mode. IT'S IN THE FREAKIN TITLE!

@ALmazing - how can you say that the advertisements are deceiving us? Have you read the title of the movie?It's NOT JUST A VS movie, it's also the ORIGIN of the JUSTICE LEAGUE (Dawn of Justice, get it?). That's why they show the VERSUS part in the trailer, and then they showed the DAWN OF JUSTICE part (trinity shot). Also, they chose V not VS for a reason, cause this is not a straight up VERSUS movie.try to keep that in mind.

Melissa is a perfect Supergirl, but there's something about the show I don't like. I guess I just want a superhero show where they don't work for the gov't or some agency. I already get that with Flash, Arrow, AOS, and Agent Carter. Besides, Gotham has my attention at 8 pm.

LMAO!!!!!!

Those ratings just took a big $hit on Gotham, AOS, Flash, and Arrow put together and it was up against Gotham and Monday Night Football!!!!!!!

By the way AOS is on a slippery slope in the ratings department......it barely did 380K more than Flash last week!

I don't get why right out of the gate she has to be all moony about some guy. Focus on the hero part of it first then later you can throw in love interests. The pilot was so corny and just reminds me of the bad 90's superhero shows.
JoeMomma29
JoeMomma29 - 10/27/2015, 6:00 PM
And trust me if the show sustains around 4.6 millions viewers a week there will be a crossover with The Flash and Arrow.......or at least a tv movie!!!!!!!

@JonAwesome

Well you missed the point......they are going after young girls and women and yes that demographic digs a love story!!!!!!!

Was it corny....yes! Was it cheesy.....yes! Was it hokey......yes!!!!! But was it terrible.....no I have seen way worse and all pilots are always off!

JoeMomma29 - 10/27/2015, 6:05 PM
And I do agree with the article that the show did do well due to The Big Bang Theory..........

Though like I said it will dip down to around 4.8 million viewers a week! Though imagine if he does hold on to a 7 to 9 millions viewers a week? Whoa that would really make CBS and HBO ponder on some possibilities of other shows.........

@Joemamma I get what you're saying but I just wish the would do a woman superhero justice instead of Felicity with superpowers.

JonAwesome - 10/27/2015, 6:29 PM
And by Felicity I mean the old WB show.

@JonAwesome

I agree with you 100%, but hopefully the writers will get a clue and make the right changes as the season progresses.

I know, I am not saying it is getting cancelled just that the ratings are slipping.........

There's many, many times when the tone shifts from the pilot to the ongoing series. I agree there were a few wonky things going on in the pilot, but the good out weighed the not so good. And I think it will continue to change for the better. I predicted awhile ago that this series will be popular and successful and I'm sticking to that.
