Looks entertaining, I guess.

I saw it. It looks awful to me and I like most of the superhero shows.

There's going to be a massive glut of comic based shows next year and some will have to go to the wayside as all but Constantine are coming back.

You have Daredevil (my favorite by far), Arrow, Powers, iZombie (although only loosely based on the comic), Flash, Agents of Shield, Peggy Carter and Gotham coming back for new seasons, PLUS you'll have Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow (new Arrow spinoff featuring Atom, Captain Cold as a semi hero, and a resurrected original Black Canary plus Hawkgirl, Rip Hunter and others), #4Hero (based on Dial H for Hero comics), Preacher, Lucifer (loosely based on the comic and Sandman character), Heroes Reborn (new series based on old Heroes show), Blackbirds (live action Teen Titans on TNT), Static Shock (based on the cartoon and later comic), Krypton (pre-Superman on Syfy), DMZ (Syfy series loosely based on the graphic novel), Amped (USA show by Kripke creator of Supernatural about a dad who feels dumb and is a loser who takes a supplement that gives him superpowers), Scalped (low budget WGN series based on the old DC character Scalphunter), and then the four upcoming Netflix Marvel series I'm excited about based on Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and the Defenders (team show featuring Daredevil, iron fist and more). Plus I'm probably unaware of some other upcoming superhero projects.

Supergirl is going to go head to head against Gotham. And while Gotham is probably my least favourite superhero show on currently now that Constantine got axed, I think I'll like it a bit better than the Supergirl series.

I can't believe DC didn't protect their properties better and not had CBS and CW air the shows in competing time slots. Kinda dumb. I also get they're going after different demographics (mistake, Supergirl looks a lot like Gilmore Girls or some other romcom w/ super powers) but it's still bad planning.

Well there's going to be 12(!!!!!!) live action shows at least loosely based on DC properties so they probably couldn't help it. I did read that Supergirl despite being on a different channel will be in the same "universe" as the CW shows (minus iZombie which is barely connected to its comic let alone the overall DC universe). So there may even be crossovers (hinted at in an interview on AICN).

A-cups are bad for ratings

The sheer volume makes it difficult but it's CBS and Fox not Netflix or Hulu or Yahoo! or even the CW. It's two big boy networks vying for the same eyeballs w/in a similar universe.

I'm actually impressed that Supergirl looks.......well done? It doesn't look cheap and slapped together. I also agree w/ you about Gotham, show is disappointing b/c they missed a great concept and idea by focusing too much on Gordon and not on the corruption of Gotham city and the underworld. Should have been a team of investigators instead of 2 guys (although the last few episodes were decent w/ the Ogre).

looks pretty darned good.... OK, it looks fricken awesome.

Also, the new Legends of Tomorrow Trailer (the second Arrow spinoff) came out and it looks infinitely better than Supergirl even though it's CW versus Fox.

Who needs to watch season 1 when you can watch that trailer

Looks like great fun.

Looks like its definitely going after teen girls, but I guess there's a spot for that. There are way too many superhero shows coming out next year. Before long there's going to be a complete overkill of them which may very well kill all of them.
