TV show description:
An action-adventure series, this TV show is based on the Supergirl character that first appeared in DC Comics publications in 1959.
Thanks to the help of her parents, pre-teen Kara Zor-El (Malina Weissman) escaped their doomed homeworld of Krypton by being sent to Earth. She is the cousin of Kal-El (Kevin Caliber) — better known in adulthood as Superman.
On Earth, Kara is raised by a pair of foster parents, scientists Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers (Dean Cain and Helen Slater). She keeps her superpowers a secret and often feels like she’s living in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Jordan Mazarati).
As a 24-year-old woman, Kara (Melissa Benoist) makes her home in National City and works as an assistant for Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart), a fierce taskmaster and the founder of a media conglomerate named CatCo.
Working alongside Kara are IT technician Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan) and renowned photographer James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks). The latter has recently been poached from his job at The Daily Planet newspaper in Metropolis to serve as Cat’s new art director.
Kara manages to keep her Kryptonian abilities a secret but is ultimately enlisted by Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) — the head of a super-secret agency where her scientist sister Alex (Chyler Leigh) also works. Kara’s needed to help them protect the citizens of National City from evil forces and becomes a force for good like her cousin. She becomes Supergirl.
Series Finale:
Episode #126 — Kara

What do you think? Do you like the Supergirl TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a seventh season?
I think its a mistake to cancel super girl
Supergirl ( besides being beautiful}, is fun to watch, enjoyable, entertaining. The mixture of personalities give it a very modern up to date feel to it. CBS don’t blow this, its a real keeper, tow thumbs up.
Supergirl (besides being very attractive}, is fun, enjoyable, entertaining. The mixture of personalities makes it very pleasurable with a nice up to date feel. A real KEEPER, don’t blow this CBS!
Please keep her going super girl has had hard time in the comic’s and movie and now tv. I like the show it is over all good, with some up and downs. My vote is yes keep the show alive
hi. supergirl is a great, fun show that makes you really care about the characters. my wife would never watch any superhero show before this one…for thirty years! please add tom welling as superman too, as he has a cbs show in development now. please renew this show!!!!!
Love this show! Entertaining for the whole family. CBS should keep it on the air.
I LOVE SUPERGIRL! I LOVE SUPERGIRL! I LOVE THIS SHOW! The reason I like this show is the person with a super power is a young WOMEN, it has problem-solving and action-packed and not afraid to show emotion and uplifting words. What my favorite part is it is free of the sexual stuff, romance is good, being in love is good, keep it at that level. The show feels clean, which is an awesome feeling to have. The ULTIMATE best part of this show is we can sit down as a FAMILY and actually watch a TV show on CBS…AS… Read more »
I LOVE SUPERGIRL! I LOVE SUPERGIRL! I LOVE SUPERGIRL! One of the reason I love this show, besides being action-packed, save the people and/or world stuff, it is clean of sexual stuff. It’s a show I can watch with my grandchildren. And there are very few out there on TV. Please renew this show so I can sit with my family and watch a decent show. This is the only show on CBS we can sit in front of the TV and watch as a family. Please leave it on CBS. Thanx for letting us comment.
Boy whats going on with all these writers.. of supergirl .. what now supergirl cant travel into space with out dieing . what gives do it wrighy Greg V . or just dont do it, supergirl n superman dont need to have air in space or they really dont need to eat , they can go along time with out eating. it just made me mad with episode 20 do ur history history n make superman n supergirl supers ok
supergirl is awersome
can you renewed it please
Our family loves Supergirl!!! It’s our favorite show to watch together!!! Please keep it going! My 13 year old daughter thinks she is wonderful! Better role model for our girls than a Kardashian.
This show is great, it’s about time they had a superhero show with a woman in the lead, I look forward to Mondays because of supergirl and scorpiont
I love Supergirl! It’s my favorite show! I will be very unhappy if this show gets cancelled. PLEASE renew this show. Each episode follows the previous one, making the storylines easier to follow. Plus, Supergirl’s one of my favorite heroes. I love her!
Cancel this awful show.
Sup-ergirl should be cancelled – not only is Jimmy Olsen a big hunky black guy, but he’s only interested in dating beautiful white women. Whatever happened to hunky black guys dating sexy, seething black women, i.e. Beyonce, Hudson, etc.??? For shame – talk about a racist show.
Finally a person talking smart. Everybody else out there that feels this way better Sound off or nothing will happen. Then it is on you.
why is it such a bad show whars ur reason for that / we are getting superheroes movies n shows thats a win i think ,its not as bad as fans like u are saying its pretty good ,they just cut the superman supergirl character short like they cant go into space with out oxygen mask witch that is bull .They change too many things about these characters
They can go into space, but they have to hold their breath in the process, they can not stay out there forever not without an air tank, Lobo is the only one that can witch stand vacuum of space and not need air.
I love the show it’s none violent great story line family oriented goes with the flash. what does it matter what the actor does on his time so long as it doesn’t affect his performance in charter he is playing
