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?
Well, I fear I’m “outside the TV demographics” being a 58 year old Black guy who’s been reading comics since the early 60’s. someone earlier here said the Supergirl show is a Feminist’s Wet Dream. Haha! I figure, it’s supposed to be, since 007, Batman, and First Blood Stallone do it for us guys. Most of the Supergirl TV series complaints sure are starting to sound like my 4th grade days where kids used to say things like, “Hey, you can’t come inside our clubhouse because you’re a girl!”. Yes, I like Gotham better because I’m a loner like “Bruce”,… Read more »
CBS did a great job with Supergirl and NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles and NCIS New Orleans and Scorpion all five of those shows are excellent top-rated shows actually written and exit lead actors and actresses and they need to be stayed on the air and renewed for another season

Steve dude, bud…please I beg of you get on some medication. I’ve been reading all the posts now for a hour and your name has popped up so many bloody times my head is spinning. I realize how much Supergirl the show means to you, it means a lot to me too, but this endless posting has got to stop. I think CBS gets the point, now relax, breath and calm yourself okay. It…God willing, will all work itself out. Peace brother… : )
Extreme Feminist Wet Dream of a show that is totally out of touch with reality and totally bias lame story writing.
Out of touch with reality? LOL…it’s based off a comic book, genius. Change the channel….there are still 7 to 8 million people enjoying the show. You won’t be missed.
Supergirl has a great show it would be foolish if cbs doesn’t renew the show for another season.
This show excitement it get me on the edge of my chair please keep the season going bring it back in the right after the New Year and let’s renew it for another season it is different but I love the excitement on it and it is excellent and I know the ratings will go up once voice is off the air CBS don’t be a fool just renew it
The show has action an it is excellent since it was on cw Monday nights.
You mean CBS
I just gave the show another shot tonight after not being impressed with the
first three episodes and was in total pain watching this laughable piece of garbage. I bid farewell to this disaster.
Not a fake profile here, and I am enjoying the show pretty good. It’s not better than Daredevil, Jessica Jones, or the Flash, but it’s on par for entertainment with some of the other hero shows out there. To each one’s own. They get about 7 to 8 million viewers, so a lot of people must be enjoying it like me. I never understood why people think their opinions matter more than the next guy…it’s usually the ones on these threads that don’t like a show that somehow think their opinions matter more, lol. Weird coincidence; it happens on ALL… Read more »
