apinknightmare November 5, 2015 Share November 5, 2015 I feel bad for Constantine fans who were hoping for a ratings boom (as unlikely as a show resurrection may be). I think the leak might have hurt, primarily because Constantine's backstory with Oliver was pretty ridiculous, as was Sara's rescue. I enjoyed the ep overall, but I thought that the Constantine storyline wasn't all that well done, considering the hype. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18942-ratings-and-scheduling-hail-to-the-gods/page/16/#findComment-1677442

The crossover episode 3x08 did 3.92 million with a 1.4 in the demo. Which is why it's important for good, quality episodes to follow the crossover. Last season's crossover gave Arrow a bump for several episodes but gradually declined to normal. I'd argue the episodes following the crossover were kinda bad and if they had been of higher quality the new viewers might have grown attached to the characters and turned permanent.

CW press releases don't come around that often for Arrow "2x08 (Barry Allen's introduction pre the Flash) did 3.24 million and a 1.2 in demo" 1.1 demo yes it did, Barry Allen also known as Flash, a DC superhero "The crossover episode 3x08 did 3.92 million with a 1.4 in the demo" Again a crossover episode with another DC superhero and two fandoms from 2 shows "Which is why it's important for good, quality episodes to follow the crossover. Last season's crossover gave Arrow a bump for several episodes but gradually declined to normal. I'd argue the episodes following the crossover were kinda bad and if they had been of higher quality the new viewers might have grown attached to the characters and turned permanent." I agree, it's important to deliver good episodes after the crossover to try and grab more viewers, but honestly i don't think a lot of Flash fans stick around to watch Arrow, especially not last year with all the doom and gloom, and i'm not seeing it this year either. Crossover will do good, but after, it will probably decline to normal Arrow ratings again.

Morrigan2575 November 6, 2015 Share November 6, 2015 (edited) Flash is hugely popular and Arrow got a huge boost in ratings in 208/209 thanks to Barry Allen and in 308 which, IIRC was the highest rated Arrow episode ever. I have no doubt that Arrow will get another boost in 408 that may carry over to the MSF and early January episodes. I also wonder if Arrow will now play the someone's dead card every x09 because Oliver dying in 309 helped maintain momentum in the winter episodes. 409 Felicity "dies", 509 Diggle "dies", 609 Thea gets "killed". I'm almost positive Arrow now does their big death/departure episodes in 19/20 because of the boost they got from Moira'so death.

Pete Martell November 6, 2015 Share November 6, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised that there was any expectation for a boost with Constantine. It was a grindingly-mediocre-at-best show that a lot of the fans of the source material did not like and clearly new/casual viewers weren't enthralled either. From what I saw I think Matt Ryan and the Arrow writers managed to make him work better on this show than I would have expected. I actually thought it adjusting up to 1.1 was impressive, especially considering I keep reading articles that say things to the effect of, "None of this Sara story is about Arrow, bring back Felicity and Diggle." Considering that many of the comments I did read from Constantine fans who watched for him basically said they thought Arrow sucked, I'm not sure how many of them will bother staying around. To me the main problem with the show isn't so much who is or isn't in the spotlight and is just piss-poor storyboarding and storytelling in general.

Are younger people not watching TV, and watching on their tablets etc instead? Also interesting that the Flash and Arrow are the greatest percentage of men. The CW must be happy.
