Telly’s Take
Arrow’s ratings have dropped quite a bit in season five but it’s still doing well by CW standards. It’s no surprise that the network renewed Arrow for a sixth season. However, with such significant ratings slides, I have to wonder how long the series can continue. My gut tells me that Arrow won’t stay on the air for as long as Supernatural has.
