"Supergirl" returns for Season 2 tonight — same time, different channel (7 p.m., Ch. 30). The show has moved from CBS to The CW.

After a good-but-not-great Season 1, "Supergirl" gets off to a very strong start in Season 2. In tonight's episode, Supergirl/Kara (Melissa Benoist) is joined by her cousin, Superman/Clark (guest star Tyler Hoechlin), and it's very well done. I don't want to give anything away … but it's one of the best episodes of "Supergirl" to date.

There are, however, some changes. And this fresh start includes some plot points that don't match what happened in Season 1 … but I'm OK letting those go.

There is one oddity, however, worth noting. There's been some criticism of the current crop of superhero shows on The CW — "Supergirl," "The Flash," "Arrow," "Legends of Tomorrow" — because an awful lot of people seem to know the so-called secret identities of the heroes.

And tonight, there's one scene in particular when Supergirl is walking through a room at the secret agency designed to protect Earth from aliens and she loudly refers to Superman as "Clark."

Granted, you've got to figure these people have security clearances. But it's really cavalier. And seems … sort of thoughtless.

I'm nit-picking, however. "Supergirl" gets off to a great re-start.
