Perfect way to put this Toups, it is out of their comfort zone but I really don't see it doing all that well unless they pair it with a mega hit to get people watching. I'll tune in for the pilot, but the lead is so beige to me as she was on Glee when I attempted to watch the later seasons.

They said that it will more than likely have crossovers with The Flash and Arrow. I believe I read it on Deadline.

I'm curious about this and will probably watch. I agree she looks bland and the costume is eh.

I don't know if I see it going to the CW if it flops on CBS. I've heard it'd be way too expensive for the little network that won't give up trying (even though CW can afford to air The Flash and Arrow).

SUPERGIRL, as an actress, came off MUCH better here than I thought she would. I'm not quite sure why this is a rom com with a klutzy girl cliche that just happens to fly type of thing, but at least a lot of the FX don't look horrible and I guess it stands a chance. I'll be trying it out. Also, Mehcad Brooks.

I see people RAVING about this trailer. It's better than I expected (I'm not 100% yet) and I think it's what many wanted Smallville to be (although I liked Smallville for what it was). We shall see .... I do think this belongs on the CW. I don't think they'll move it if it flops. Just depends what CBS will consider a flop and if it's worth it. I've repeatedly read that it won't be moved because it would be too expensive for the CW to continue producing. Who knows?

Yeah, Supergirl won't move to CW if it's canceled, unless WB is willing to cut the budget big time. Being on CBS, it's not going to be able to fly with ratings the ratings Gotham and SHIELD deliver, it's going to have to be more. I'd guess it's going to have to at least do about what Scorpion does (maybe a bit less since it airs an hour earlier).

I'm a rom-com fan but I did not expect that for this show, so I was put off a bit by that preview. I thought it would have the same tone as the other two Berlanti comic shows (Flash and Arrow). Instead, if feels like Berlanit's "No Ordinary Family" that aired on ABC years ago. I do like Melissa Benoist though. :wub:

      Good point. In addition to being a great character in her own right, she had chemistry with almost everyone on the show. A Jake/Paulina/Iris triangle would have been a lot of fun. If 1994 AW aired in 2025, I doubt Iris would have even considered to be on the chomping block. All the shows now are noticeably less youth obsessed compared to the 90s.

      I wrote my previous post about Dante being on a 3-day rant while I was at the 30-minute mark of the show. By the end, Dante was back to being reasonable and kind and understanding of everyone and everything. OK, I get it. We all knew that sooner or later we'd get the wise Dante. The mistake was showing him berate Jason IN THE SAME EPISODE and imply he's a lousy father.

      I think Dante has a larger GH fanbase than both Ava and Nina character wise.  Both CW and MW have a built in fanbase outside GH which isn't really indictive of the characters, IMO.

      Just this fan's opinion but I have said these writers are the most plot opportunistic maybe ever! They will have any character say just about anything if it advances whatever plot point they have in their minds atm. I think if Dante's POV right now was defensible people would be running it up the flag pole. The fanbase thing you're describing to me it just means they're going to continue to like their fave no matter what.

      I think the difference between the head writer change at Days vs GH is that the day to day episode quality at GH was still lacking while the day to day episode quality has improved. And now that there appears to be some depth to the episode content... the limitations of some of the performers on Days is more apparent (i.e. Leo, Alex, Sophia, Cat). However, Rome wasn't built/rebuilt in a day so I'm waiting to see how things are in three to four months once some of the threads/stories from Ron's era are tied up/resolved.. and Ford/Cwikly's long term content kicks off

      That would be me. hehe. Keeping track of who I liked better and how it informed what would happen from episode to episode.

      Hey, Mike Manning, hey!!! That shirt and those slacks are working today. lol.   Nice to have this Vanessa/Nicole scene.    Look at Kat vs Eva as a cliffhanger.   I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SILK PRESS SHEILA WOULD SHOW UP AT NICOLE'S AT SOME POINT!!!      Another trio of cliffhangers (including Dani vs Ted...another combo today)! Friday cliffhangers indeed!!!

      Looking forward to hearing your perspective. Tuesday was a little... ehhh though

      And Ron sort of did like a half-assed rewrite to bring them together. Apparently, Stephanie had never met Alex until 2022, even though she already knew Sonny, Joe and Vic

      Friday Thoughts:    June and Hayley are going to turn out to be related, or else why the casting on June's character if not for that.  Their voices and mannerisms are similar and Marquita had mentioned in an interview that we would be finding out more about Hayley's backstory.   Tomas/Eva/Kat is for sure going to be moving full steam ahead.. and I can't wait

      Dani/Bill = yawn    Bill/Smitty = Interest reeved up and we all know that means the secret involving Martin/Smitty/Anita is kicking into high gear for May sweeps. Vanessa/Nicole = A satisfying friendship scene.. and Nicole's statement about Vanessa's outside interests.. I did not see that coming Nicole/Andre = I noticed that Andre volunteered knowing about the affair, but managed to withhold the nugget of information where he had convinced Ted not to confess to Nicole. Dani/Ted = This perked my interest Nicole/Silk Press Sheila = A great way to end a Friday episode.  Sometimes grandma's soaps shouldn't be discarded, but followed. Martin/Smitty = Kat is right that Smitty is too good for Martin.. and Martin did act as though he missed his afternoon nap. Ashley/Derek = Unpopular opinion.. I actually kind of missed them.   I view their scenes as a great way to kickstart a drinking game... take a shot anytime you wonder to yourself what is the point to their characters and/or either one of them says something cringey.  You'll be guaranteed to be buzzing by the end of the episode Previews for next week: Looks like Nicole has found out about Dani/Andre's FWB set up? Kat vs Silk Press Sheila looks promising.

      GH isn't that character-driven a show in recent decades. I think reaction depends on whether the character has a passionate fanbase. A character like Ava always has people who will defend her and back her up, as does a character like Nina (when they used to write for Nina, anyway). Dante doesn't.
