The CW has been having some great success with DC Comics superhero shows. Now, CBS has gotten into the game with their own entry — Supergirl. While Arrow and The Flash fit well with rest of The CW’s programming, Supergirl seems out of place on CBS, a network known for older-skewing procedurals. Will the new series soar in the ratings or will it crash? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Supergirl revolves around Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist). As a girl, she survived Krypton’s destruction by being sent to Earth where she was raised as a human. She kept her powers a secret and now, as an adult, works as an assistant at a big city media conglomerate. Kara’s existence becomes known to the world and she is enlisted by a super-secret agency to help protect the citizens from evil forces as Supergirl. The rest of the cast includes Calista Flockhart, Chyler Leigh, Mehcad Brooks, David Harewood, and Jeremy Jordan.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/12 update: Supergirl has been renewed for a second season but is moving to The CW.

Supergirl is one of mind show that I like it is
great show and the rating for the show are excellent.
One of the worst shows I have ever seen! If not the worst. Acting is a D+, Storyline F, “CG” is C+, Production and Directing D.
I love the new series Supergirl its great, the action the personal stuff its amazing , the only criticism , I might wrong but didn’t they mess up her last name?, I mean Zor-el was her father’s name but her real born bread Kryptonian last name shouldn’t it be just Kara- El her father’s technically his 1st name is Zor last name -El ” of the “house El” , speaking as someone who has watched and read Super-lore didn’t they get her last name wrong?
I enjoyed it. I like it’s tone. I didn’t lose my mind over it. I can watch a few more episodes of it to really get a feel for it. The actress (Melissa Benoist) was great. My only thing that I was worried about was the notion to constantly beat us over the head with empowerment messages. That’s what the marketing did in my opinion. Let it be heard, but let it be seen a whole lot more. We know this is a woman. She can do awesome stuff. Every male that watches this isn’t wearing chauvinistic goggles, ok? We’re… Read more »
Supergirl is a great show and other people besides
the family like the show.
Really hope Supergirl will topped Gotham in the 8 pm Monday night time slot.
I didn’t think I’d like it, but I did
Supergirl was a great show and the characters
they have it reminds me of Smallville and much more.
What I meant this Supergirl is a great show not was is a great show and look forward to watching it every Monday night just like everybody else millions of other viewers.
Supergirl was a great show I loved it it reminds me of Smallville and much much more the shows going to be a great hit everybody up talk to love the show and can’t wait to see you next week and the week after that.
I watched the first episode of Supergirl and found for the most part it was entertaining. I was however taken aback that they made the Cub Reporter Jimmy Olsen a Tall Black Man when in every Comic he was a short White Guy. I see no justification for this discrepancy, does anyone else?
so what? this type of thing is done all the time–even in the reverse–in tv and film and stage. i think they call it editorial license.
Going on your premise then why not make Supergirl a Black Girl. I don’t think that would go over very big and these editors you speak of would no doubt be fired since she is supposed to be a Cousin of Superman. I say stick to the script!
Bill I must be honest, I jumped on the not liking you band wagon at first. But after the “I was married to a black woman,” comment I realized your not a bigot. The:”I say stick to the script,” on that comment you gain my vote. Not because it’s racist, not because it’s bias, but because you stand behind what the vision of the original writer portrayed the character as. Being a script writer and an author I would be seriously ticked off if someone used ‘free license’ with a character I wrote a certain way. What right do they… Read more »
I might be bias because I actually like actor , he’s played a couple rolls I love but I like him as Jimmy Olsen who cares if he’s nit the traditional 1
I care, as a purist of all things Superman. I think putting in a token Black Man in the role is nonsense. By the way, I’m not against Black People as I was once married to one.
Yeah I get it I just love the guy who plays Jimmy currently and I think he does a great Jimmy , I have my own qualms and criticisms despite loving the show too, I think I already said 1 of them they messed up Kara’s name I mean am I wrong, her name shouldn’t be Kara Zor-el , because Zor was treated as a 1st name in the Superman/Supergirl stuff el was treated as a last name her name should be Kara-el right?, and didn’t Jimmy date Lucy Lane , yet seems like in this series there prepping Kara… Read more »
I watch the first episode of Super girl and can’t wait until the next episode but Jimmy Olsen is tall and Black when the comic that jimmy Olsen is white
I liked it. A rush first episode.
i liked it. a rushed first episode to establish the character, but with stations cancelling programs after 2 or 3 episodes you can’t blame them.
Bill said stick to the script but somehow bizarro is now a girl wtf.
Can’t wait for the time when they make Superman a bald Black Man, LOL
Actually Indigo is a villaness of the Supergirl comic books. They did get that right, she is part of the program that also created Briani.a.c. (Brian Inter-active Construct).
