DC’s Legends of Tomorrow drew a 1.2/4 in A18-49, beating ABC and NBC in the 8-9pm hour and giving The CW its most watched telecast in the time period in more than three years (11/1/12), and the highest rating in the time period in two years (1/26/14, The Vampire Diaries‘ 100th episode). It was the highest rating in the time period among M18-49 in nearly six years (2/4/10).

The DC’s Legends of Tomorrow ratings also beat ABC and NBC in the hour in A18-34 (0.8/4), and M18-49 (1.4/5), and was #2 in M18-34 (0.9/4).
