Tuesday's series debut of THE FLASH (8:00-9:00 pm) marked The CW's most watched (4.79 million) and highest-rated series premiere in adults 18-49 (1.9/6) in more than five years, since THE VAMPIRE DIARIES bowed in 2009, according to national Live Plus Same Day Nielsen ratings for Tuesday, October 7, 2014.

THE FLASH is The CW's second most watched series premiere ever, behind only THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, and is the network's third highest-rated series premiere ever in adults 18-49, following only THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and 90210.

THE FLASH scored the network's best ever performance in the time period in men 18-34 (1.9/8).

At 9 o'clock, the tenth season premiere of SUPERNATURAL turned in the series' best premiere since 2010 among adults 18-34 (1.1/4). SUPERNATURAL also tied ABC's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." in the hour among adults 18-34, and drew more total viewers than Fox's comedy block in the hour.

THE FLASH and SUPERNATURAL combined to give The CW its most watched (3.67M) Tuesday night in more than six years (90210 premiere on 9/2/08) and best Tuesday ratings in adults 18-49 (1.5/5) since 9/9/08. This was network's best Tuesday night EVER in men 18-49 (1.7/6) and ties The CW's best Tuesday ever in men 18-34 (1.6/6).
