CBS to air Supergirl as a series
WTF? First why? Then, why didn't CW want it?
http://deadline.com/2015/01/supergir...bs-1201348158/ Why is Supergirl a CBS and not a CW series, a TV critic asked during CBS’ TCA executive session, which started off with CBS chairman Nina Tassler congratulating sibling CW on its Golden Globe win for Jane The Virgin‘s Gina Rodriguez. Tassler said she’d been a fan of the genre since developing The New Adventures Of Superman while at Warner Bros. TV. “There is a human drama there.” As for Supergirl, it is “a real passion of ours,” Tassler said, noting that the premise “embodies so many of the qualities and characteristics of the classic female heroines on CBS,” making her relatable. The Supergirl costumes already have been created, now the challenge is to find the right actress to wear them. “We’re looking for quality, looking for charisma,” Tassler said after the session. “We are looking for someone who inhabits the freshness of being a woman in today’s challenging climate, someone who can carry this kind of series on her shoulders.” |

CW has alot of solid shows right now, if this had potential i dunno why they would pass. They are slowly gaining viewers with their shows too.

They had the actress on CBS This Morning, and the entire segment was talk about a strong female character blah blah blah. Not one word about the series being entertaining.
Is it sexist that Bob Dole has no desire to watch it? |

In order to make Supergirl look real, you need better special effects than this episode has shown. Let's put the girl power aside for a second and just understand that the action scenes in this episode have been either random CG ragdoll Supergirl getting thrown around or snap cuts of her falling down that seems out of place when they transition to the live action.
Basically this is how the episode has gone down. It's kind of ironic because it comes off as a show about girl power, but it can't help but remind you about Superman every scene. So it's essentially a woman who tells you she doesn't need a man, but she does. |

It was terrible. Acting was crap. Effects were crap. Wife and I watched it with the kids. Many eye rolls on the terrible acting.
