This is true. Their scenes together have been great all season. Melissa Benoist has especially been perfect all season. I tend to base my enjoyment of superhero media on the casting of the lead, and Benoist's Supergirl is everything I could ever want.
Not mad about that. More details: The network would like the show to come back, sources close to the series say, but there’s a problem. The roughly $3 million per-episode price tag CBS pays to broadcast Supergirl — one of the highest license fees ever for a freshman show — isn’t quite justified by the ratings. Thirteen million total viewers tuned in to the heavily-promoted premiere back in October, but about half the audience bailed over the season, according to Nielsen. That has set the stage for a last-minute stare-down between [CBS boss Leslie] Moonves and Warner Bros. TV chief Peter Roth. CBS will announce its fall schedule in two weeks at the upfront presentations in New York, so the clock is ticking to hammer out a deal.
Makes sense. Show definitely took a huge ratings drop over the first season. Feel like it would fit well on The CW, if they scaled back the budget per episode, and I'd always be down for more crossovers with The Flash or even Arrow.
I would say the best chemistry with a female aside from Felicity (tear) Thankfully Iris is less terrible than she was in season 1...however I wanted to laugh at Barry's reaction when she finally told him how she felt.
The crossover was so good in regards to showcasing that chemistry. Will be very curious to see what happens in the next two weeks with this show.
I'm confused how this is going to work (if they do bring her to the CW). Aren't they in different universes? How will they make that work? Either keep everything the same as is, or do a (possibly soft) reboot (which would mess things up).
Super girl takes place in BerlantiVerse but on a different Earth. They've also hinted multiple times that they could do a crossover with Legends because the time ship can not only travel through time but also to other Earths. The only issue with the network switch would be the potential that they move production to Vancouver which would be a big move for a lot of the cast with families and such. I'm curious to see if the network switch does happen if The CW would let them stay in LA
"It was up to CBS Corp. chairman Les Moonves, who is holding all the cards in the situation since the company controls CBS and the programming on the CW, to make the call whether Supergirl would stay or not on CBS and whether it would go to the CW. Being based on a DC property, if it moves to the CW, Supergirl would remain solely owned by WBTV and not a co-production with CBS TV Studios as the original CW series automatically become."
It would be really awesome if they did some kind of Crisis type mini-film or something to unite all of the projects into one universe.
