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.” |

I don't see how it's going to work. Superman is boring and i assume Supergirl is going to be just as overpowered and blah. It's all about the villians.
Smallville was a success because he didn't have control over his powers and he had to hide. Apparently she is already flying and spandex wearing. Seems like it will get pretty old, pretty fast. How many kryptonite villians can they have?

The commercials made it look like 80's schlock.
I have no idea how it even made it to air. |

Daughter loved it, and I liked the costume creation scene...
I will suffer through it for her sake. |

They didn't even think up their own stuff. They stole it all from Smallville.
Ally McBeal character is just annoying

Ratings are plummeting, including in the 'key' demographic, and Rotten Tomatoes shoes only 51% of viewers even liked it (which probably says a lot about the 97% critics rating, but that would be a political topic). To get context on that 51% number, Ash and the Evil dead has registered at 96% with its audience, and Blindspot is at 72% with its audience.

You want high rating for supergirl have a arc with power girl and have the girl look like the comicbook power girl.

They have made her out to be way too needy.

The easiest way to tell if a show is acted worth a shit is to watch it for just a couple of minutes with the sound off.
So this POS show was on one of the TVs at a sports bar here in town (I'm guessing/hoping they just didn't change the channel after a game ended). Obviously the sound in the place wasn't for that show so it was effectively on mute. Holy shit, those people are soap opera bad at this. In fact, they're worse than soap opera bad. I'm stunned that show draws any viewers at all. It is complete crap.
