An early look at ratings for Monday’s premiere of “The Carrie Diaries” is available, and it is not pretty.

Earlier this season, The CW launched “Arrow” and “Beauty and the Beast” to 3.0 and 2.4 overnight numbers, respectively. From a metered market perspective, the closest companion for “Carrie” is the already-cancelled “Emily Owens, MD,” which opened to a 1.2.
