Following a massive marketing campaign and positive reviews, CBS‘ Supergirl took flight last night behind The Big Bang Theory with a 3.2 rating among adults 18-49 and 12.94 million viewers in the fast nationals, according to CBS. If the numbers hold in the finals, Supergirl will rank as the highest-rated and most-watched freshman series this fall in Live+Same Day, matching the series debut of CBS’ Monday drama Scorpion, also with Big Bang as lead-in, last fall.
Supergirl outperformed the series premiere of CBS comedy Life In Pieces (2.6) in the Monday 8:30 PM time period earlier this fall and posted a small but encouraging ratings uptick between the first and second half-hour. Its 3.2 opening number also matched the series premiere of the other DC Comics Monday drama that Supergirl will face head-to-head at 8 PM starting next Monday, Fox’s Batman-themed Gotham, which also started with a 3.2 18-49 rating with no lead-in and facing a highly rated hourlong Big Bang season premiere.
