Three is an important number in the world of television and film. There’s the rule of thirds for getting the perfect shot, there’s trios of characters like Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and there’s the first three episodes for new television shows.

This kind of makes sense at least.

For a new television show the premiere episode is always daunting, and comes with a lot of pomp and circumstance, but it’s the subsequent episodes that will make and break a new broadcast television show a hit, a bust, or a future example for television students of what not to do.

Legends of Tomorrow has begun to fins it’s groove, but has it found an audience?

Since we can really know exactly how a show is going to preform until it actually when the episode actually debuts. But looking at the other CW show’s that share a universe with Legends of Tomorrow we can compare to see how well this show is fairing. Overall, Legends is down in overall viewers compared to all three DC Comics related content on television, but it’s not doing poorly compared to the CW’s ratings standards. Overall Arrow, The Flash and CBS’s Supergirl all had large rating’s in their respective series premieres before trickling down slowly before settling in at season averages of 3.4 million, 3.8 million, and 8.3 million, respectively, and Legends rounding out it’s first three episodes at 2.8 million. Legends is not far off by any means, and I would even doubt that they are under preforming. They appear to be doing just as expected in the current CW network landscape.
