1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.14 million total viewers.

Year-to-year, compared to H8R’s premiere in the same timeslot, the network was up by 116% in the demo (vs a 0.6 rating) and up by 221% in viewership (vs 1.29 million). This was a very promising start for the new series. It beat NBC’s Animal Practice in the demo which is impressive for the tiny CW network (and frankly sad for the peacock one).
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

The Arrow is a great new show.
This is the first thing I’ve ever watched on CW. Love it!
The female lead is super boring so is the sister.
Batman lite? “Super Hero” that now has someone he respects knows what he is/does. Although not a butler but a body guard. Still good and glad they extended the run.
Great Show~! Hope it’s not cancelled.

It wan’t the best pilot I’d ever seen. Its pretty silly and its got a bunch of plotholes already but its got potential. Hopefully they’ll make use of that.
