Arrow “Damaged” Ratings: Another Good Night

More details are still coming in with exact numbers, but according to Marc Berman at TV Media Insights, the Arrow episode “Damaged” had a 2.8/4 in overnight ratings reports.

This number was significantly better than lead-out Supernatural with 1.5/5. Last week at this time Arrow had a 2.4/4. If these numbers keep up, this might be the best week for the show since the second episode, ratings-wise.

UPDATE from TVByTheNumbers: The numbers above are still a foreign language to me, but TVByTheNumbers has reported that Arrow had 3.69 million viewers last night, which would mean the highest ratings since the series premiere. Go Arrow!
