First ARROW, Now THE FLASH? The CW Series Received All Time Lowest Ratings Last Week

I’ve been done with Arrowverse for a while now. I stopped watching Arrow in Season 4 the whole Damien Dark thing just never went anywhere interesting and then when they defeated him only to get his powers back in the next episode I bounced right before the season finale bc I realized I was only watching to stay current. Flash strangely I also only made it part way into season 4, it just made some really dumb and cheesy choices and I didn’t care for it anymore. Ralph is one of the most annoying and campy characters in any of the shows, and they just made some character choices that made no sense and kind of ruined things ( We are the Flash.... really?) which sucks bc other than Daredevil the flash was at one point my favorite comic book show. Legends I made it 4 episodes before I realized I didn’t care about literally any of the characters, Supergirl is just awful on every level, and I never even made it to Black Lightning. I doubt the CW will just let this universe die as it is their backbone right now but I wouldn’t be surprised if this show ends and get replaced in the next few seasons

Takes people a long time to catch on when it comes to tv series like these

I don’t understand why you brought up 5x16's ratings when it was an episode for last week. The fact of the matter is that the highest rating episode was “Memorabilia” with 2.04 of audience, then for the next four episodes in a row it went down but the last one from this past Tuesday's “Time Bomb” improved from being at 1.55 to 1.64.

This 3 weeks break certainly will affect the show unless they don’t find a way to promote the final episodes well enough but Flash at this point isn’t anywhere close to being canceled. Arrow in terms of ratings sadly began to have it's lowest audience numbers around S6 with under one million in two occasions and just one in the last couple of weeks.

So again, odd you bring up last week's ratings and not this week's.

Time for Nora to go back to the future as well . Way too many episodes of her messing with the timeline and trying to fix things etc etc . For me most of these shows are starting to be a slug to sit through but I’m glad others are still enjoying these series .

First season, awesome. Second, meh. Third, lost it. Fourth, didn't even get past the first episode. This show, like Arrow, became a comedy fest, or at least a one-liner fest. The writing got worse, some of the acting so much so, and they're running out of ideas, even thought they have a plethora of story lines from the comics they could use. It all has to do with CW, they don't have the budget for better special effects or writers. Think it's time they took the Netflix route and cancel all of these shows.

I'm just waiting for Superman and Batman to come. It will happen. Batwoman can only take place in Gotham for so long without including Batman. People will get annoyed fast that he is not in it.

The episode was great - this week's was also great, but this season is lukewarm at best.

But I blame the new costume.

Every season has gotten worse.

While I would like to see a series regain its former glory, this isn't the dark days of the 80's and 90's where we had to tolerate low quality because it was all we could get.

I would LOVE Flash to improve, but if it can't then let something take its place that is hungry and fresh and is fighting for a place on my television.

A show like "the Flash" should not coast along.

They need to kill off half the cast and allow Barry to be a CSI again. Too much easter time on other nonworthy characters.

Why is it that the majority of people commenting are the ones who "stopped watching years ago"?

For a show you quit on .. y'all sure love to follow articles on it and hate on it as much as humanly possible

I still watch it with my son every week. We enjoy it. It's not perfect but it's far from trash.

In a day and age where ratings is king and quality shows get cancelled left and right .. I'm happy to see CW keeping these shows alive for the loyal group who have and will continually tune in

For those who quit on Arrow .. that's too bad .. they've bounced back in a really great way.

Speaking of Legends of Tomorrow, I miss the quality of the series from season 1 when they made a lot more connections to the DC Comics universe. Now it's like any other generic Syfy channel series focusing on the supernatural in the real world with next to no connection to the DC Comics universe. Just looking at the Atom alone, there is so much that could be used from his mythology such as his time with a microscopic alien tribe in South America called the Morlaidhans or his pet myna with prosthetic wings. There is so much good material they are not using.

It’s because they are all super corny and emotional
