If you only count scripted fiction Supergirl is #7.

Hell, they are way better than the 90s Superman with Dean Cane

Probably because it isn't 1993 anymore..... No doubt the computer you're using is also very different than 22 years ago

Back in the 90s I never thought I would have an 8 core machine. I remember in 1999 IBM was working on a dual core CPU and they were having all kinds of issues because it was getting way too hot...LOL....LOL.

I predict they will ax it sooner than later:

Now...Don't get me wrong...I would love for this show to be successful. I kinda like the chic. She's cute and she's not doing a bad job, but this show should be in Syndication not CBS. It has a better chance to make it on the Sci-Fi channel or USA Network than it does on CBS. If it gets cancelled (which looks inevitable the way the ratings are going), I hope Sci-Fi, CW or USA grabs it.

 

I'd like to see Netflix pick it up if it gets cancelled, like they did Longmire, The Killing, and Arrested Development.

If anything it would probably go to the CW channel if CBS cans it.

I somewhat agree with you. While the 3rd episode did pick up the pace from the slow 2nd one, I have a feeling now that Kara is out to prove herself and stand alone,

 

I agree. She's learning her powers, and soon enough she'll be the tough, confident, sexy, strong heroine who won't take any crap from baddies. The kind of woman that turns me on Melissa is amazing in the costume, she's a sweetheart, if she can pull both the sweet and tough egos off she'll be as perfect as I feel she can be.

As for the love triangle stuff, how many guys here can honestly say they wouldn't be doing all they can to get into trouble to have Supergirl rescue them if she really existed? I for one would be front of the queue jumping off a bridge to have her swoop me up! Jimmy Olsen needs to go though, and Calista. Get rid of the cheese, SG will turn itself around tenfold.

Picked up for the full season, 20 episodes, and averaging 11.24 million viewers.

Human for a Day next week after a massive heat vision blast at Red Tornado, just like Superman after he uses his heat vision derived Super Flare - down for a day. Like a giant collection of solar supercapacitors, their cells are, and Kryptonians sometimes need to recharge.

 

Yes, its canon

Laura Vandervoort to Appear on Supergirl

 

Laura Vandervoort, the actress who played Kara Zor-El in Smallville, will appear in an upcoming episode of Supergirl as the villain Indigo, producers revealed today at the Television Critics Association.

 

The character will appear in the fifteenth episode of the show's first season, which will follow on the heels of what are expected to be two anticipated episodes.

 

Indigo is described by producers as "a living, strong-willed supercomputer that was sentenced to Fort Rozz after turning against the people of Krypton. Now on Earth, Indigo will let nothing stand in her way."

I don't like the fact they are using the crystalline FoS of the movies & Smallville -- I don't remember if the FoS ever appeared on Superboy -- when this Supergirl appears to come from the same technologically advanced Krypton like in the MoS movie.

I'm tempted to start watching this show, are the ratings holding up? I have a fear with new shows that they'll get canned once I start watching.

[George P Global Moderator]

Well, I'm surprised no one posted about this, but Supergirl is getting a season 2, and in the process it's moving from CBS over to the CW.  This means we're in for a good bit more crossovers going down, more flash and maybe some Arrow if they feel like it?

Supergirl retains Monday night spot following move CW.

 

Unlike its competitors, The CW has figured out a formula to make superhero shows work. In keeping up with audience demand for more superhero related content, The CW announced today that it will air Supergirl at 8 p.m. ET during its upcoming fall season.

 

Supergirl, which stars Melissa Benoit as the titular superhero, had its first season on CBS, but the network announced earlier this month that it wasn't going to renew the show. Instead, CBS moved Supergirl over to The CW, its sister network, where network president Les Moonves thought the show might fare better. The show suffered from poor ratings on CBS, even with the support from the network and a pretty good time slot (it also aired at 8 p.m. ET on CBS).

I could be wrong but I remember hearing it had something like 10-13million viewers?  If that's correct then how is that low ratings for CBS?

It started with almost 13 million viewers but then lost over half of them.
