THE FLASH Debuts With Big Ratings; AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Hits Another Series Low

So, superpowers = success? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could learn something from The Flash in that case as The CW series actually topped the Marvel show in terms of viewership and is now the highest rated premiere for them since The Vampire Diaries in 2009. Read on for details!

The Flash is off to a great start and the fact that the pilot episode leaked online eariler this year doesn't seem to have had any sort of negative impact on its performance. According to Spoiler TV, the Arrow spin-off finished third in the 8pm timeslot with a 3.4/5, making it the highest-rated season premiere for The CW since 90210 in 2008. However, for a series premiere, it is their best since The Vampire Diaries made its debut in 2009. For those of you who love facts and figures, The Flash bested The Originals' premiere from last year by 166% and Arrow's first episode by 13%. Though these numbers will obviously change as the day goes on and DVR figures are counted, the message here is that the series had gotten off to an extremely good start (other sites say it had 4.5 million total viewers and a 1.8 demo rating). Now the bad news. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. dipped to yet another series low last night with 3.0/5. That's 6% lower than last week and 43% below the same episode from last year. Though the ratings for both will increase tomorrow, these results mean that The CW actually beat both ABC and Fox during primetime last night. More numbers can be found below courtesy of TV by the Numbers. What did you watch?

So because Flash does better in its series premiere than AOS does episode 3 of season 2, it automatically means Flash is better than AoS. Really? If you want to be fair compare both series premieres. AoS killed in its series premiere.

The Flash was awesome. Better than any of the pilots for Gotham, AOS, and Arrow. So excited to see where the show goes, and I'm glad it was successful.

@BatManiac That's an idiotic thing to say when one has JUST premiered, and the other is in its second season.

Complain all you like, but as things stand, these are all accurate numbers as of right now which have been cited from THREE different sources!

I love both but everything everyone hated about AoS season 1 the Flash pilot had. Cheesy dialogue, a lighthearted atmosphere and bad acting. The only reason The Flash gets a pass is the because he's an iconic superhero. Also Seaosn 2 of Arrow stomps them both hard.
