Season 2 Premiere Was One of Show's Least-Viewed Episodes

[Tim]

And Plec's show gets more ratings.

There ain't no justice.

[Melinda Halliwell]

I wonder if that's why Charmed and Batwoman were paired together Sundays because of their low ratings no-one will watch one after the other so both shows get cancelled whereas people like Legacies hence why they put Walker on before that so viewers stay tuned afterwards of course.

Maybe like Smallville getting a revival on Hulu which I hears doing well if Charmed and Batwoman aired on a streaming channel after they were cancelled they'd might get more people watching them then.

[Tim]

I imagine the original plan was to continue the Batwoman/Supergirl paring.  However, Melissa's pregnancy changed that.

[Melinda Halliwell]

I'm assuming it would've yes Tim.

Because Kate was flying back from National City most fans would expect Kara to hear Kate's missing presumed dead and go look for her absent friend.

[Pia]

I assume that was the plan too.

I feel like it will be between Bstwoman and Charmed reboot for what is going to get canceled after this current season, I feel like Charmed reboot is the one to go for sure. I do have faith, CW will keep this one around another year, even if ratings drop, it ends after season 3 or 4.

[Tim]

The new Batwoman needs a chance, IMO.

[Pia]

Some good news.


Ratings: Charmed Goes Low, Batwoman Steady, FBI Enjoys Big NFL Boost

In the latest TV show ratings, The CW’s Charmed opened Season 3 with 465,000 total viewers and a 0.1 demo rating, down from both its sophomore average and its May finale to hit and match series lows.



Opening The CW’s night, Batwoman “2.0” (642K/0.2) was down 3 percent in viewers from its opener while steady in the demo.

But Ouch for Charmed, that's literally down to Dynasty rating, sorry to say this, but this is the final season, this show is going bye bye after season 3, CW has Walker as their CBS produced hit. 

[Tim]

Looks like they might be giving Ryan a chance after all. 

[Melinda Halliwell]

Nice to read people are giving Javicia a chance despite Ruby's departure.

If Ryan's written well with good character development and storylines which people care about Batwoman might do well this season even if it's ratings don't hit top marks like other Arrowverse shows do of course.

[Colton]

Well, it didn't drop more. I guess they haven't lost too many viewers. Now, those ratings are still low than other CW shows, but if it keeps that number, and they stay in the 0.2 demo and are stable, it might have a chance.

But what about DVR ratings, and online viewing. Perhaps we need to see those figures in a week or two, it might increase the audience to a million viewers. I guess nobody watches live. Dying to see those figures posted online the web somewhere.

I've been wondering about that myself.  How does that factor in.

Mind you, I'm a child of the "Three Networks And Nothing But" era.  Some of this stuff goes over my head.

[Melinda Halliwell]

True many people work or have children which take up quite a lot of their day so they normally watch shows afterwards either downloading or streaming like on the CW app.

Perhaps the same as COVID it takes time for proper ratings to be published then which as you say Colton might take a couple of weeks probably.

[Tim]

Hopefully, they continue to go up.

[Trinity]

And it's getting worse. Even though it has another season, people are just not interested in this show it seems.  This is bad for it lasting at least five or six seasons.


Batwoman Season 2 Ratings Continue To Crash

After a slight uptick a couple of weeks ago, Batwoman continues to descend in the ratings as its second season unfolds. Sunday’s sixth episode of The CW show’s sophomore run has the dishonor of taking the crown – or should that be cowl? – as the Scarlet Knight’s latest lowest-rated episode. “Do Not Resuscitate” might’ve furthered Javicia Leslie’s new heroine Ryan Wilder’s journey towards being Gotham’s new protector, but it seems the series is leaking viewers weekly.



Last week’s outing, 2×05 “Gore On Canvas,” was initially said to be seen by 507,000 people, but the adjusted number was brought down to 493,000, making it the first episode of the show to fall below the 500,000 mark. The next installment continued the downward trend, unfortunately, with just 477,000 pairs of eyeballs catching it.

As for its rating in the key 18-49 demographic, episode 6 clocked in at 0.10, a fall of 23% from the previous week’s 0.13. And remember, these are just the overnight stats, too, so the more accurate adjusted figures will likely be even lower.


The good news is that we know Batwoman is coming back for another year, as The CW renewed it for a third season last month alongside The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow – and this week – Superman & Lois. Still, reports are saying that the series might not last until season 4 if the ratings continue to slip. Viewing figures were already on a downward spiral before Ruby Rose left and it seems the attempt to revitalize things with Leslie’s casting hasn’t managed to correct that.


A small hardcore fanbase is still behind it, then, but otherwise it looks like Batwoman is struggling to keep the audience hooked.

[Tim]

The ratings drop when the white woman is replace by a black woman.

Draw your own conclusions, everyone.
