Pre-season critical darling Nashville bowed to a 2.8 adults 18-49 rating and NBCs Chicago Fire drew a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating in its premiere.  Arrow's premiere on the CW drew a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating. The full ratings post is now up here.

    YAY Arrow!

  2. Melanie

    Dare to dream! Over a 1.0!! That’s good so far!

  3. Mitchell

    1.1 … eh that’s ok I suppose.

    Chicago fire was surprisingly better (quality) than I thought it would be lol.

  4. Max

    You know what, this is a success story for all 3 premieres quite honestly.

  5. Brian

    I’m glad Arrow did great, the show actually turned out to be amazing!

  6. KS

    Great compared to other shows, but not Great! This show is definitely not a savior of CW.

    As predicted. A bunch of shirtless men with cheesy and cliché dialogues won’t bring the ratings in 2012. All appearance and NO substance. The promos for Chicago Fire were cringeworthy.

    1.1 for the CW is phenomenal.

  9. Ashley

    Oh god, if Arrow only got a 1.1, that means SPN probably did no better than a 0.6, right? *bites nails*

    I expected Nashville to premiere to a 3.5 considering it had Mondern Family as a lead in. Chicago fire is ok by NBC standards that only means SVU did worse than a 2.0 which is sad because SVU has that old school feel again. and Arrow it is a HIT on the CW by ALL means

    Hopefully Nashville will stay above 2.5 during its fall episodes and Arrow won’t lose many viewers, either.

    Looking at the Nashville ratings, it clearly proves that Revolution was premiered that high only because of The Voice.

    That was great for Arrow. Nashville had ABC’s premiere numbers for a new drama, so that’s also very good.

    Chicago Fire obviously won’t last long, same numbers Awake pulled (and in a worse timeslot).

  14. Oliver

    Arrow got great numbers for The CW, but still lower than I expected.

  15. touch is dead

    no?chicago fire????????????fvck ?such low?I was expecting 2.5

  16. Kyle

    Wow. NOTHING is premiering well this season. Kinda sad.

  17. Greg

    *had ABC’s BEST premiere numbers for a new drama

  18. CrimTV

    I wanted Arrow to be like a 1.4, but if this can hold for Arrow then it’s great

    “Looking at the Nashville ratings, it clearly proves that Revolution was premiered that high only because of The Voice.”

    Hmmm?? Both shows had the best lead-in the network could give it, so I’m not sure the logic behind this post.

    @KS You do know that Nashville had Modern Family as its lead-in correct? And Modern Family actually rates higher than The Voice.
