The Flash & Gotham ..how popular are they in the USA ?

I watched the pilots for both. Really enjoyed Flash, but doubt I'll be investing anymore time in Gotham. Not sure how they are faring ratings wise though.

As I'm not a Super Hero type fan the only one I have any knowledge of is Batman. My adult kids were little when the original TV series ran and would not miss an episode. (Amazing how many times I got them to do the dishes for the privilege.) I think I've seen 4 or 5 of the batch of movies. That said I am finding Gotham interesting and rather fun to see the backstories. Would I give up watching something I really, really like to watch...not likely. In this age of DVRs and On Demand you do have a bounty of options to watch a lot of garbage that in years past you wouldn't have.

I haven't watched Gotham yet, have 3 episodes in my dvr waiting for a viewing.

The one thing I came across when I was looking something else up, was that the premiere ratings for Gotham were down compared to the premiere of Agents of Shield. Granted, Agents couldn't hold onto their premiere ratings either.

Its broadcast on Fox over here, so that generally gives a show a bit more breathing room with regards to cancellations/renewal. Fox doesn't have much else going for it with regards to scripted drama, so Gotham should be good for renewal.

Alas, Gracepoint (Broadchurch remake) doesn't seem to be faring as well ratings wise.

Haven't seen the Flash yet, will wait to see what general reviews are and odds of cancellation.

The Flash premiered last week and came out rather well. Although there were some inconsistencies with the roll out of the character in the Arrow series last season, the changes were fitting with the new show. It will take some more development of the main characters, but that is to be expected. All in all, I will give it more chances. It seems a littler 'lighter' than either Arrow or Gotham, but that is not a bad thing.

Gotham is a little different. First off, it is NOT a Batman story. It is a Jim Gordon story. Yes, the characters are mainly Batman-centric, but as seen from a younger viewpoint that is primarily Gordon's. The character actors in this show are very well cast and the show holds promise. It looks like the show runners took some hints from the dark side of Arrow (Yes, I know, different networks.) and have seen that they can hold an audience this way.

Personally, I like both so far. Gotham falls a bit short of perfection for me because I think Ben McKenzie as Gordon is miscast, and he's the main character. The scenes when he's home with Barbara are excruciatingly boring in my opinion. Also the Alfred character is bit strange. I like pretty much all of the other casting choices, and am enjoying seeing the origins of some of the villains.

The Flash is fine for what is is- A somewhat cheesy CW show.

Personally I like Gotham .. Jim Gordon might be the main character that ties everything together but the reality is its about the villains I am enjoying the slow change from Oswald Cobblepot to the Penguin. Then again knowing who the villains are before they really become villains can take a little of the fun out of it

Well, Gotham was renewed already.

The young woman who plays the future cat woman is beautiful.

Watched Gotham last night and I thought it was very good has lots of promise
The FLash has it's premier next week and am looking forward to it

Also Arrow starts as well and I love that programme 😄

My update - tried of Gotham half way through last week's episode. I'm done.

Gotham: pretty darn good show...

The Flash: Pretty awesome show...

Arrow: I actually love it...

Why is it DC can get the TV shows right but their movie universe is horrible?

I love gotham. Haven't seen the others.

Finally got caught up on Gotham. Surprisingly, enjoy it, really like the actor playing Gordon. I must be getting feeble in my old age, took me a lot longer than it should have to identify the future Riddler. Mr. Enigma. Watching the Penguin evolve has been very good.

Found the Flash on demand over the weekend and got caught up. Enjoyable in a bit of a cheesy way, but I like that they've introduced several elements of mystery right from the beginning, things the viewers know but the main characters don't.

I haven't seen Arrow, but have heard some good things, and they did a tie in with the first episode, so I may need to see if I can find it on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

I have really got into Gotham it's brilliant I hope there's a second series in the making

Flash is really good fun

Arrow is still brilliant as always
