The Librarians - 1.9 million
Homeland - 1.4 million
Agent X - 1.2 million and 1 million (it aired 2 episodes)
The Affair - 890k
The Leftovers - 640k
Getting On - 270k

That's really poor For Agent X. That is a flop by TNT's standards. But then Legends was a flop and that managed a second season, so I might be wrong.

Another double episode for Crazy Ex Girlfriend, looks like they are burning it off.

Where are they airing these double episodes? Because I have looked at the schedules and it has only been airing the standard one episode.

Oh it might be my mistake, I thought it was a 20min comedy show, is it meant to be 40mins?

Yeah

But it was pitched as a half hour show originally when they pitched the show to showtime.

Oh that gives me more hope it will not be canceled then. Ratings are not that good sadly.

It's been a total flop. I would of thought The CW would of announced a reduced episode order by now. They can easily replace it next year with the third season of The 100

Sorry no. I can never seem to find BBC America's ratings.
Okay, thanks for trying anyway.

It is obviously on the wrong channel. Not sure if Showtime would have been better, but I get a 'Glee' vibe from the show, and perhaps Fox might have worked out better.

Blindspot wins night again for scripted shows. Supergirl continues to fall. Awful for Castle.

Hard to say without seeing it myself.

That is worrying for Supergirl, its lost almost half its audience in 2 weeks, of course it was helped by the Big Bang lead in for its premiere episode but is still a fairly substantial drop from last week as well.

The question that decides its future will be where does it stabilise? If its bottomed out at 1.7 and stays within say 1.6-1.9 for the next few eps then I can see it been given a backorder at least to get a bit more data for discussions of a 2nd season.

Scorpion is the real winner, love this show, is so consistent no matter what is before it, growing from the 8pm hour is pretty good as well. (Reminder to those season 2 starts in the UK on Thurs on ITV2)

Gotham is another steady performer that has bottomed out now and stabilsed comfortably as one of Foxs best performing and consistent shows

It seems Gotham and Supergirl don't share much of an audience as Gothams numbers havn't been hit at all like some people thought might happen.

Supergirl's ratings will be interesting to see in weeks to come. Like you said, it has lost nearly half it's audience already. That's not dreadful but that's not promising either.

I think Gotham is the kind of show people watch on catchup anyway? That's how I first found it and I'm still happy to wait a few days each week for a web download without all the commercial crap.

I'm not sure why Supergirl is losing its audience. IMO it should be gaining in viewers not losing.
Perhaps the 'feminism' angle was laid on too much?

Or people are tired of superhero shows?

It's not as if we don't have enough.

Wrong actress, wrong channel.

It should be on The CW with someone much younger playing the lead.

The CW passed on it and with good reason. They already had Flash and Arrow, plus next year's Legends of Tomorrow.

and I don't see an issue with Melissa's age. She's 27. But she has the face of a teenager so it works. Which is why she worked well in Glee.

I enjoy Supergirl but do agree it is on the wrong channel. I don't think it was ever likely to sustain the viewing figures hoped for by a larger network - however if it can stabilise then it may survive but we will see.

Castle slow death continues.... It's actually getting painful now. Cast, writers, network should realise and just finish it properly.

A question has to be asked do we over sell Superhero shows as being this ratings winner when the facts suggests in reality that isn't really the case

Agents of Shield- Big premiere, fell in season 1 and since season 2 has been doing ok and is stable in the 1.4-1.6 range

Gotham- Big Premiere, fell faster then Shield during its 1st season and has stabilsed out at 1.4-1.6 range

The Flash- Huge hit for the CW but its avg is again 1.2-1.4

Arrow- Seemingly has been doing 0.9-1.1 during its entire 3 and a half seasons

Supergirl- Huge Premiere falling is down to 1.7 already and will likely stablise around 1.4-1.6 which as established above seems to be the rating for superhero shows

So all the superhero shows avag middle to low 1.s no matter what network they apper on, You've got to imagine that a lot of the same people are watching all the shows above (I'm one of them) whether thats live, Catchup or via DVR

The problem seems to be getting non superhero fans invested in the shows enough, it looks like superhero fans are watching and that works out at around 1.4-1.6 in the ratings, which is the best networks can hope for out of these shows

Given CBS has shows held back, I reckon they'll order 3 additional episodes of Supergirl and replace it with either Mike and Molly and The Odd Couple or possibly Rush Hour

SHIELD, Fresh Off The Boat, Muppets and Scream Queens all take hits this week. Chicago Fire hits a season high. Average performance for Limitless.
