What does a DC comic book superhero, and a Venezuelan telenovela have in common? Both television adaptations for The CW, "The Flash" and "Jane the Virgin," have been given full season orders.

Both freshman shows have opened to strong numbers. It was announced this week that both "The Flash" and "Jane the Virgin" have been green-lit for a full season after their second episode aired. The demographic numbers and the critics do not lie about the impact and success of  the The CW's shows.

"Arrow" has helped "The Flash" spinoff to quickly get viewership and support.  The show premiered on Oct. 7 with impressive numbers: 4.2 million viewers, and 1.9 rating within the 18-49 age demographic. This made "The Flash" the second largest TV debut for the network, The Hollywood Reporter noted. The show has been given an additional 10 episodes for its first season, cranking it up to 23 episodes in its first season, according to ."The Flash."

The CW president Mark Pedowitz has officially thrown his support behind both TV shows.

"We have had a fantastic start to our season this year, with 'The Flash' launching as our most-watched series premiere ever, and 'Jane the Virgin' recognized as the best new show this season by critics across the country," Pedowitz said, adding that he was "thrilled to announce the full season orders."

"The Flash" also beat out other network competitors such as ABC and Fox within the 8 p.m. timeslot. Since its debut, the show has had 6.1 million viewers.

"Jane the Virgin" has had similar numbers to the "The Flash." So far, the one-hour comedy "Jane the Virgin" has had 9 percent viewership, up to 1.75 million, and it rose to 17 percent in the 18-49 age group.

The show was given an additional nine episodes, elevating it to 22 episodes for its first season. "Jane the Virgin" has had better numbers within that Monday time slot than "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Tomorrow People," Variety reported.

In addition, critics adore "Jane the Virgin" for its charm and breakout star Gina Rodriguez, Variety reported.

"The Flash" already has the comic book's famous characters and bad guys all lined up. They include stars such as Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Dominic Purcell as Heatwave, Victor Garber as Martin Stein, and Robbie Amell as Ronnie Raymond, just to name a few, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.

There are already crossover episodes planned for both "The Flash" and "Arrow," Variety reports.

Most of the viewers know about the history of "The Flash," but are unclear about the origins of "Jane the Virgin." The show is based on a Venezuelan telenovela of the same name. In the U.S. version, Rodriguez plays Jane, who becomes pregnant after her doctor accidentally artificially inseminates her, The Hollywood Reporter noted.

"Jane the Virgin" is produced by CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television. It too has some TV executive producer heavyweights behind it, such as Ben Silverman ("The Biggest Loser") and Jorge Granier ("Que el Cielo Me Explique"), Variety reported.

The full season orders for "The Flash" and "Jane the Virgin" has cemented The CW's 2014-2015 TV season.
