RATINGS: THE FLASH Is A HUGE Hit For The CW; AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Avoids Another Series Low
People obviously loved the pilot episode of The Flash because after its record breaking debut last week, the second episode also had over 4 million viewers! Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. meanwhile still isn't doing great, but the Marvel series has avoided hitting a third series low in a row...
According to Spoiler TV, The Flash has cemented its status as a hit during its second week on the air with only a very small drop from the premiere (which was The CW's most watched season/series premiere of all-time). With over 4 million viewers, the DC Comics adaptation continues to do better than anyone ever expected and a season two renewel is surely only a few weeks away based on how it's doing so far! As always, these numbers will increase as the week goes on, but with 4.15 million viewers and a 1.6 in the 18 - 49 demo, that's a hold of 100% and on par with how Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did this week. Again, these are all early figures, but the Marvel series scored 4.62 million viewers compared to last Tuesday's 4.32 (which was the show's second series low in a row). This small increase could be a good sign and ratings are steady...we'll have to wait and see!
