hahaha Glee down hate that show hope it ends after season 4, 30 years old’s playing 18 years its just dumb!!
Ah, Glee
Glee needs to really up its game and get better next season. I don’t see why they don’t just get new school kids and rejuvenate the show every 3 years!
these ratings are getting bad now.
Ouch at Glee.
A repeat of HoD does better then LA Complex.Poor CW!
Dancing down 8 (?) tenths from Fall finale.
HOD is same rating dummy
So American Idol went from ,
6.4 / 19 vs this year at 4.4 / 14 ?
That aint good , even if the drop was similar to last year from the previous show.
NCIS LA did poor at 8pm. Why did CBS air it at 8pm?
Yikes! Glee is weakening so fast, I think tv erosion is getting worse and worse.
In 2 years, I think only few shows will crac a 3, there must be a new way to attract viewers, or at least a better way to rate.
Grey’s will destroy Glee.
@HB
Glee already tried to bring in new kids. Nobody cares about them. It’s the writing that needs to be rejuvenated.
Lmao Glee
Despite Dancings dip, it is still the most watched show! I think it’s American Idol that is in need of a serious make over and some better judges. Randy of AI was giving X Factor a bad time but now look who is sinking and I think X Factor might do better this Fall with the new judges!!
@rob60990
Glee will destroy Glee
Hahahaha loser Glee. What a terrible show. Deserves to go down more.
The Hart of Dixie repeat was adjusted down a tenth.
People are funny. Come to reality, folks.
It doesn’t matter what shows did last season or the season before or anything in the past. What matters is what the ratings are now relative to other shows on the same network.
And when looking at it like that… Idol and GLEE in terms of FOX last night, are both WINNERS.
So much for the Glee about that 3.
I have to say the trajectory that Glee is taking feels like Ugly Betty in its 3rd season. At least Glee won’t be put to the Friday Night Death Slot for its season 4.
It will be funny if Glee gets cancelled after season 4.
