'Supergirl' kicks off the big DC/CW four-part crossover with solid ratings
The CWs four-night superhero crossover event got a solid lead-off with Supergirl.
Mondays episode of Supergirl pulled in a 1.1 rating in adults ages 18 to 49 and 3.51 million viewers. The numbers are up compared to last week and rival the successful numbers earned by the shows season premiere in October.
CWs superhero crossovers have been a staple ever since The Flash expanded the networks DC universe established in Arrow. This years crossover will span all four of the CWs DC TV shows Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and DC Legends of Tomorrow over four nights, pitting the superheroes against alien invaders to save the Earth.
Of course, fans who tuned in hoping to dive right into the Heroes v. Aliens event were probably disappointed considering the episode did not get to the crossover part until the its final minutes. Supergirl diehards who have spent all season rooting for a specific romantic coupling to progress, on the other hand, were likely pleased with how the episode played out. The crossover event continues tonight with The Flash.
