=============
It is no longer a strong ratings performer for FOX, but if the past few weeks are any indication, it is at least a consistent one.

Tuesday’s edition of “Glee,” which continued the show’s stint in New York, matched last week’s series low 2.0 overnight household rating.

The news comes in the wake of Ryan Murphy’s announcement that the show is likely to another setting–and time–shift for its sixth and final season.

It is presently unclear if the show’s adults 18-49 rating and total viewership average will also align with last week’s showing. “Bash,” last week’s installment, posted a 1.0 A18-49 rating with 2.78 million viewers. This week’s versions of those numbers will be released by 11:30AM.

FOX followed “Glee” with “New Girl” (1.9 overnight household rating) and “The Mindy Project” (1.8 overnight household rating).
