The 100.
ReplyDeleteThe Originals or The 100. I would give the spot to Reign cause it needs the promotion but The100 cause of their male viewership would probably be the best choice.
ReplyDeleteI thought this is a good question. I voted for the heroes: Arrow and The Flash, because I think they are fresh and more "commercial" than the others. SPN and TVD are old shows and they don't have that appeal anymore and the rest of them don't fit in this kind of spot. CW could air a crossover between Arrow and The Flash after the Super Bowl. It would get great audience. IMO
ReplyDeleteThe 100!! Not only is the show awesome, it needs the extra publicity!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably give it to The Messengers. CBS needs a hit on The CW after dragging them down for so long.
ReplyDeleteAlternatively The 100 could really use the boost.
the 100, reign or the originals, all are solid entertaining shows with great storylines, and all could use some promotion too
ReplyDeleteThe Originals or Arrow.
ReplyDeleteThe Flash could boost well past a 2.0 and I think its strong enough to hold a good chunk of that afterwards.
ReplyDeleteAnd The 100 is so good now that I think, if they could make it an episode thats just as strong but not so mythology heavy people could be convinced to go back and watch the rest.
I didn't vote for it but I'd also say iZombie. Abrand new show would do great and I think (or at least hope) it would have more staying power than The Messengers.
Although I would love for it to be The 100, I think it is too serialized. Most shows after a Super Bowl are shows where a new viewer won't feel that lost if they tuned in. So I'd say The Flash.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I want to scream the 100, and while I can even get rational arguments for it (I truly, legitimately believe the show has potential that goes way beyond the cw and that it would benefit greatly from the additional exposure), I think the CW would be better off launching a new show with a lot of potential there (maybe The Messengers). Superhero shows like Arrow or The Flash would also be obvious options and I wouldn't be against them, especially due to their skew and also their beyond-CW potential, but I think a new show would still be a better option.
ReplyDeleteI would be against putting shows like TVD, TO, SPN or Reign in there, though I happen to like these shows; I just don't think they would fit nor that they have the mass appeal a post Super Bowl show should have.
Arrow or The Flash, and they could've used this episode as a backdoor pilot for another spin-off.
ReplyDeleteIf the Superbowl was on The CW no one would watch it.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch any CW show, but I think Jane the Virgin would be the best choice. It's in its first season (not too many episodes to catch up with), it has great critics, and its ratings are not really high. Could use the boost!
ReplyDeleteThe 100 could work as well. The male viewers would probably like it more than Jane. But the success of Grey's Anatomy Super Bowl episode shows that even "girly" shows can have large post Super Bowl ratings. But it might be too serialised.
It would be really interesting to see if it would actually help the ratings for more than one episode, not like the networks' shows.
The Flash-ratings warrant it plus its new so there is still a chance for fans to discover the show and watch live.
ReplyDeleteeither of the upcoming new shows-what a boost it could give to either one of those shows.
The rest are either quite old and/or too poorly rated to warrant that privelage.
I think you're underestimating The Flash there a bit, it hits in the 2;s with Live+3 DVR viewing so the potenital boost from airing after the SB would be bigger.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! The Flash/Arrow/Supernatural would all have a fighting chance. CW needs to stop being cheap scapes and actually pay out for something like this so they can finally get out of the dreaded 0.8-1.3 range
ReplyDeleteThe Messengers. The Flash is already a hit so no need for that. Supernatural, TVD and Arrow are too far into the series for them to be picked. The rest of the shows are too poor performing for them to waste the opportunity. So I'd pick either iZombie or The Messengers, but The Messengers gets my vote because I think it woud maybe have a wider appeal than a teenage zombie show (just going off of what the promo material looks like).
ReplyDeletePeople would complain about the players being too young or the game would be have too many rich white girls in it.
ReplyDeleteI say The 100 this show is good
ReplyDeleteAre the CW still trying to make The 100 happen?
ReplyDeleteGreat poll question btw
ReplyDeleteHell would freeze over. But I'd put money on either The Flash or The 100.
ReplyDeleteThat would be such a shame I always see the SB as something that brings the country together no matter how old, gender, skin colour, wealth. But yeah I have seen people c=make those very complaints about CW shows.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I understand your question. It is happening. Nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe 100, because it's improved a lot and is now a really good sci fi piece, but the rating aren't there, so I think it would respond well to this kind of boost.
ReplyDeleteThe Messengers, because it would be simpler to just launch a new story in this scenario, expecting it to mantain its momentum and build a solid schedule around the show.
Not according to the ratings.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha if the *cough* Super Bowl were to air on hahaha *cough* *cough* the CW. Oh the fantasies some people have! hahehe!
ReplyDeleteI haven't laughed this hard for a long time....thanks,i needed that! :)
The 100
ReplyDelete100 times the 100
ReplyDeleteWe all know it isnt ever going to happen
ReplyDeleteThis is never, ever going to happen, BTW.
ReplyDeleteThere are lower rated shows on The CW than The 100.
ReplyDeleteObviously.
ReplyDeleteClearly The Flash or one of the 2 new shows that have yet to air would get the spot there isnt much of a debate to be had but its always interesting to see people try to justify why their particular fave should get the spot and why another show shouldnt. Those T100 fans are fast becoming as interesting as those Beauty and the Beast fans.
I think CW would air a show owned by CBS.
ReplyDeleteI felt like there would be no need to put The Flash, Arrow, or Supernatural after it, they're already established. Neither should it be HoD, Beauty, or Jane, since chances are none will return next year. I picked The Originals because I figured it could get a nice boost, launch a new show, and improve Mondays even more
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would get relatively the same amount of viewers. The cw is a broadcast network and it reaches the same number of households as the other networks. People will watch the superbowl if they want on matter where its on. They already follow it when it rotates around the other big four networks.
ReplyDeleteWhat would the Super Bowl even get on the CW? I'm guessing less than it does now but then again football is that huge...
ReplyDeleteI'm aware, but that hardly means it's doing good. Didn't the CW cancel three shows last year?
ReplyDeleteI'm aware of that,just having a little fun.
ReplyDeleteBy the way people, I know this won't ever happened, I made the poll just for fun
ReplyDeleteStill two more left to premiere.
ReplyDeleteThe Suicide Squad spin-off from Arrow.
ReplyDeleteArrow
ReplyDeleteFirst choice Supernatural , second the 100
ReplyDeleteDefinitely The 100 the poor brilliant show needs all the help it can get. I want Arrow too because Arrow is my baby!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point. I was probably underestimating SB too. I couldn't even remember what it usually gets.
ReplyDeleteThe Vampire Diaries, without question :P
ReplyDeleteLogicaaly speaking,I could see arrow And TF benefiting from the lead-in immensely.TVD,Reign,TO,JtV are very female oriented shows,no use putting them in that slot.
ReplyDeleteThey probably would go for Arrow, The Flash or The 100. Im happy with either of them
ReplyDeleteArrow, Hart of Dixie, Beauty and the Beast, Vampire Diaries and Supernatural are too old. They would choose series that don't have a lot of episodes so that viewers could catch up easily. The point is to make people come back the week after, that will not work if viewers have to watch three seasons in 7 days.
ReplyDeleteAmerica's Next Top Model, but instead of all-girls or guys and girls, it would be an all guys season. But I know either way, the Super Bowl audience is a huge mismatch to ANTM anyway hehe.
ReplyDeleteThe best would be to launch a series after the Super Bowl IMO.
ReplyDeleteThe 100 would benefit the most
ReplyDeleteThe only series that had an episode after the Super Bowl that I can really remember was Criminal Minds where a case happened relatively close after the actual Super Bowl(and in that same arc, Reid was kidnapped and forced to take drugs), so if the Super Bowl was ever aired on The CW(LOL!), I'd like an episode that deals with some kind of after effect from the Super Bowl, such as a case on Supernatural. Arrow and The Flash deal with fictional cities and I'd prefer a show like Supernatural, although sometimes they use fictional towns, they could still offer an episode where a case happens actually at the Super Bowl location. That'd be sweet.
ReplyDeleteYou won the internet.
ReplyDeleteThe Flash.
ReplyDeleteThe Flash is the best decision from a network standpoint. The show has the biggest potential mass appeal and will put the most eyeballs on the network. Then, if those eyeballs are willing to sample some of The CW's other fare than so much the better.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree. These are two amazing shows with huge potential that need a good kickstart, which Superbowl is. The 100 even more need it (TO doing a pretty good job on Mondays, so it's safe more or less). It's dying and it will be sad to lose it.
ReplyDeleteThe Flash and Arrow are great on their own. There is ABSOLUTELY no need to put it after such thing as Superbowl
Its hard to imagine this scenario ever happening given that the network is sooo cheap in general.
ReplyDeleteGreat Poll!
ReplyDeletelol
