Don't expect the wave of comic book-inspired TV series to slow down any time soon - at least at the CW. Two years after the successful launch of Arrow, the network premiered spinoff The Flash on Tuesday night. It marked the CW's highest-rated opener since The Vampire Diaries in 2009.
Initial live-plus-same day ratings give The Flash 4.54 million viewers and a 1.8 rating with adults 18-49. Both mark premiere highs since The Vampire Diaries' September 2009 bow. It's even more impressive when looking at the fact that The Flash opened the night, leading into the tenth season of Supernatural (strong for the CW with a 1.2 in the demo). For the 8 p.m. hour, the CW easily outrated ABC's freshman comedies and Fox's animation encores among adults 18-49.
Whether it affected The Flash or not, The Voice was a recap special on Tuesday. That fact certainly helped make NCIS the highest-rated series of the night with a 2.6 rating among adults 18-49 on CBS. Steady NCIS: New Orleans (2.3 adults) and Person of Interest (down two-tenths for a 1.6 showing with adults) followed.
More to come...
