Supergirl

Supergirl tied NBC’s Blindspot as highest-rating series premiere of this fall, and greatly outdid anything on CBS except for The Big Bang Theory. While we do expect some ratings erosion in the coming few weeks for Supergirl, the show is clearly a hit for CBS and the execs will surely want to award the show a full season sooner rather than later.

Speaking of full seasons, freshman comedy Life In Pieces got itself a nine back order this week. Surely, its ratings are quite good, but that is to be expected with the The Big Bang Theory as a lead-in. However, given that it loses nearly 50% of Theory’s audience, it is very much the question whether the show is able to stand on its own. It won’t have to anytime soon, though, because both shows will relocate to Thursdays when Thursday Night Football is done.
