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.

What do you think? Do you like the Supergirl TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I am so very happy that CBS has brought Supergirl to TV. Melissa Benoist is perfect for the lead female role. I mean just look at her in that uniform she is Supergirl. The producers of the show are awesome they are actually keeping it very close to the comic book . And with each episode I believe it has gotten better. Supergirl is getting more confident in her role as a hero. I think it would be a very big mistake for CBS to cancel after just one season and I think it is a very dumb mistake not… Read more »
I love the show too, but you bring up 1 of the small points I criticize ….at least from what I remember of the comics I mean like her Krypton last name was a mistake….to which I pointed out in an earlier post her earth name wasn’t Kara Daveners [did I spell her earth last name right?] She didn’t copy her cousin’s look [the glasses] she used a wig, and she’s crossing over to the cw interesting but not very network cross over ish , I mean I own a box set of a tv show from back when the… Read more »
