November 10, 2015: TV Ratings for "Supergirl" Episode 3

Supergirl While the "Supergirl" pilot debuted to great ratings, making it the number one show of the new season amongst adults 18-49, the show's numbers have dipped and dipped again with the second and third episodes.

    According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, "Supergirl" averaged a 1.7 rating/5 share in adults 18-49 and 8.2 million viewers overall in the 8 o'clock hour, placing third in the demo among the Big Four networks in the timeslot and not far ahead of Fox's steady but fourth-place "Gotham" (1.5). "Supergirl" was down 23% (0.5) week to week and last night's result was 45% below its premiere score (3.1). CBS did the same 1.7 rating on the comparable night a year ago with comedies "2 Broke Girls" (1.9) and "The Millers" (1.5). Following "Supergirl," "Scorpion" (1.8/5 in 18-49, 9.3 million viewers overall) and "NCIS: Los Angeles" (1.2/4 in 18-49, 7.8 million viewers overall) were about average, with "Scorpion" building on its "Supergirl" lead-in for the first time.

While these statistics don't yet take into account the Live+3 ratings (to see how DVR viewership impacted the scores), it's not unusual for a new series to see a decline over the first few weeks. Let's hope those numbers don't keep dropping over the next few weeks.
