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.

What do you think? Do you like the Supergirl TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Supergirl renewed for 2nd season but moving from CBS to the CW
I absolutely LOVE Supergirl, please do renew it. (Also maybe Alex and Max can get closer, hint hint?) Thank you!
I love this show so much. I hope it is renewed (hoping for Max and Alex to have a bit of romance to, hehe), I really do!!

I LOVE SUPERGIRL! It is my favorite show ever and i look forward to it every week. It keeps me on my seat every time. CBS NEEDS to renew it. PLEASE. they can’t end the show with that last episode I need to see more. PLEASE! I am begging! This is my favorite show on CBS and if it gets canceled I will be soooo upset. I would be crushed! THX
hopefully they will cancel this piece of crap
How is it a “piece of crap”? It’s one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen!
clearly you haven’t watched the flash, arrow, and smallville
Please RENEW Supergirl for a second season! It continues to get better and better and always keeps us on the edge of our seats. The cast is great and it helps us to escape reality for an hour! Please, Please don’t take it away from us. My husband and I think it is totally enjoyable entertainment; suitable for the WHOLE family.
Alright I can’t amplify enough how happy I am that this show just got better and better as it went. It is surprisingly strong in its production values and the cast is well rounded. The stories are solid and I know that if we keep with it the writing will only get better. With this show there is no where else to go but up. I know Supergirl season 2 will blow us away. Please don’t let the naysayers crucify a good thing. It’s well worth the time, the effort, the money and the promotion. We ARE watching CBS and… Read more »
I’m a huge fan of Supergirl and I believe she deserves a second season.

The show also has gotten… Read more »
Super girl is great show I loved it reminds me of small ice and much much more shows to be a great hit
Supergirl CVS didn’t excellent job I’m writing it affects all ages from my granddaughter all the way up to my age up in the 50s it’s very well written and I can’t wait for next season
Had high hopes for a good show but could not stay tuned no matter how hard I tried. The show is simply dreadful. I’d give other shows a chance and let this go as a failed experiment.
THANK GOD!!! someone has the brains to know this is a terrible show
Please renew super girl for another season it is no of my favorite show which is on CBS
Please don’t cancel the show. It is such a great series 🙂
