They were never or are never going to be able to compete with the big three. You can't watch what you can't see. All you can really do for Flash, Arrow, Legend oT, Supergirl, is look where they were when
Super girl first aired on the CW first CW episode and where they are now. When Supergirl first aired on the CW:
Arrow was 1.871 million, Flash was 3.166 million, Supergirl was 3.063 million
now for the latest episode
Arrow is 0.773 million, Flash is 1.380 million, Supergirl is 0.992 million
So pretty much every CW show is dropping by the same amount, getting worse each season. About a third as many people watch each show now.
But something to consider is this is only the people that watch the shows on TV the night the show airs. This doesn't include people who watch the shows on a VCR later on in the week,
people who stream the shows, people who binge watch on Netflix, people who buy the DVDs or from Amazon, and people who bootleg the shows from torrent sites.
People only notice how much Supergirl drops because Supergirl is woke and they use Supergirl to justify their claim of go woke, go broke.
