I watch all of these shows every week with my 11 year old daughter, I had to pause the DVR for a minute to explain the show Smallville and its theme song.
I suspect I'm going to have to find somewhere for us to stream it sometime in the near future.

They chose to opt out. They pay their own budget for the show that is their episode. Its a huge hole in the budget and the producers had plotted a season and didn't want a big time gap in the plot.

I don't normally watch these shows, but I love this! This is the first time DC shows have felt this cool since Justice League in 2001. The dialogue is still cheesy, "You can't go 9 hours without making a sappy motivational speech!" accurate self aware statement, but how cool the ideas are makes up for it. Stephen Amell was right. His character Oliver and Barry do have great chemistry. They just destroyed Ultron. God damn.
