I'm just catching up on the season (OMG watching on the CW website is SO FREAKING ANNOYING!).
The throwaway line "My cousin knew a vigilante. He had all kinds of gadgets and all kinds of demons." made me roar with laughter. My throat still kinda hurts.
Just happy to hear Supergirl (and the other CW hero shows) is getting yet another season (3 for SG).
I know there's some "magic number" of seasons a show has to get for some kind of syndication thing...3 or 4 or something. Or maybe that's just something from the past. Any TV folk know what I'm talking about (other than out of my @$$? :) )

The minimum episode count for a show to be syndicated I believe is 88 episodes which is usually 4 seasons. The usual syndication package starts at 100 episodes. The standard cycle for syndicatation is for 3 to 5 years. If the repeats do well, there is the opportunity for another 3 to 5 year cycle. I am not sure what happens after that.
I have heard that CBS still makes a fortune off the rights to I Love Lucy and the Andy Griffith show still has a fairly large audience so I guess whoever owns the rights to that makes a lot of cash.
I do not know how the deals work out for shows that are syndicated but also still airing first run on networks - like the Big Bang Theory. Each finished season has been added to the syndication episode cycle. Is more money given each year?
I am sure that there are exceptions to the norm that I am unaware of and I have no idea how this works with streaming services.
I haven't watched any of these shows, so I don't know dick about them. It's a long interview, but sounds like both Welling & Rosenbaum have been asked to appear in DC's TV universe. There's some good Smallville stuff too.
Yeah Tom was in talks of being Superman in the Supergirl TV series. But he decided against it. Of course he wouldn't have been playing the Smallville version. So he said he felt weird about it.
I thought it would have been cool anyways? But at least they did bring Superman into Supergirl.
For me it's 1. Arrow, 2. Flash, 3. Legends, 4. Supergirl.
I'm excited about Flash this season, because their finally not going to do another Speedster Villain.
