Ratings: Supergirl Sticks CW Landing
Supergirl‘s transfer from CBS to The CW helped the latter network scale impressive ratings heights.
Monday’s Season 2 premiere drew 3 million viewers and a 1.1 18-49 demo rating, up triple digits compared to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘s performance in the Monday timeslot last fall. It also was The CW’s most-watched show in the Monday-at-8 pm perch in nearly eight years (since a 2008 Gossip Girl episode) and best 18-49 rating in six years (since a 2010 90210 episode).
Not surprisingly, Supergirl was down sharply vs. the 6.1 million/1.3 the show drew for its Season 1 finale on CBS.
TVLine readers gave the episode an average “A-” grade.

Lastly, on CBS, 2 Broke Girls‘ hour-long Season 6 premiere notched 6.4 million viewers and a 1.7 rating, up slightly vs. its Season 5 opener.
