Thanks to The Hollwood Reporter, we have the first round of live plus three day ratings (these are a tally of viewers who watch a show later on the night it airs or on any of the subsequent three days on DVR) for Gotham. The Batman prequel is way ahead for Monday with an incredible lift of 56% and 1.8 points in the key demo on adults aged 18 - 49. That's by far the biggest percentage surge of any of thw shows which returned on Monday, including the likes of The Blacklist and Sleepy Hollow.

Before there was Batman, there was GOTHAM. Everyone knows the name Commissioner Gordon. He is one of the crime world’s greatest foes, a man whose reputation is synonymous with law and order. But what is known of Gordon’s story and his rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner? What did it take to navigate the multiple layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world’s most iconic villains? And what circumstances created them – the larger-than-life personas who would become Catwoman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker? GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never been told.

That's good. The pilot had a lot of flaws but I can see it getting better.

@WhiteSAMURAI22 My thoughts exactly. It's got a lot of potential.

I must admit. I wasn't expecting it to be this good; it caught me by surprise. The pilot was great.

Obviously it was a little too "piloty" but that's expected. It was good tv. Better than AOS' pilot by far. Hopefully it steadies out sooner than AOS did. I can't take another shitshow like that.

Pilot was good, to my surprise. Hope it gets better from now on.

If you're going to challenge Josh, you need a source.

Networks shouldn't go by live ratings anymore. Seriously who sits down and watches a show they want to see live with commercials on a non-premium network these days.

What does that have to do with anything I said?

After watching the pilot I'm very unsure if there'll enough to the show to keep me interested. But that'd be okay, not everything is for everybody.

Well we don't have to wait long. Just a couple days. I really hope it keeps the quality consistent though, I don't want another AOS.

There you go. Now just wait to see if he notices.

Yeah that was a little weird. I liked the scene with her in the beginning though, when she steals at the market. It looked really nice. The only thing that really annoyed me was that Ivy Pepper nonsense.

@BatfleckRises

That sounds like the way to go. I just didn't like how she was needlessly crammed in there. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like she won't be used again, so now it's just irrelevant.

It was a pretty good pilot, hopefully it'll maintain its ratings. I hate going online the day after my favorite shows air and worrying that they did crap in the ratings. Not to mention live TV ratings don't mean much anymore now that there's Hulu and DVR, glad that those ratings are finally starting to count for something.

He was great. I actually liked Bullock the best out of all the characters. He was just cool.

Does anybody know what's extra about the Gotham Pilot Extended Version on itunes? I deleted the show off my DVR Tuesday or I'd compare them.

Damn you Josh updated the damn AOS numbers!! Can't you see the Marvelites are getting their panties in a bunch!!! Have a heart man.....

just a 3*... it wasnt that great. the only good thngs were the batman stuff like waynes dying, alfred was amazing and bruce trying to conquer his fear.everything else wasnt that great. i knew this was gonna happen

It was alright considering I wasn't even going to watch it. I just can't see Jim Gordon taking on villains that he doesn't stand a chance against by himself as keeping my interest too long. I need the heroes element in my comic shows.

5. too epic. Can't wait to see scarecrow and Bane.

Darth258 - 9/27/2014, 2:31 PM
Really liked it.





Wonder how they'll develop Gordon's story since crime/dirty cops/mob/villains are still there when Batman comes out...

I just couldn't get into the show.

One of my friends told me to give the show another chance though.

I'll watch next week's episode, but if I still can't get into it, I'm done.

I can't wait to read the artIcle that makes a big deal about this show losing half of its audience next week.

TWD's been unwatchable for at least two seasons, now.

Actually, I've been enjoying TWD. Last two seasons and all!

Actually The Walking Dead has been exceptionally better than Season 2. Season 3 and 4 have been brilliant and captivating especially with each of the characters and the writing. The Walking Dead continues to demonstrate why it's one of the best horror shows on television.

The Walking Dead Season finale reached 15.7 million viewers in America and was the most watched finale of the series so far.
