Behind only “Criminal Minds” (13.5 million viewers, 3.5 demo rating) in the 18-49 demographic, “Glee” slightly rose for episode six with 7.3 million viewers and a 3.3 in the young adults demographic.
“Modern Family,” meanwhile, took a notable tumble to 8.5 million viewers and a 3.2 in the demographic. Also head-to-head with the musical FOX comedy, “Cougar Town” dipped to 7.8 million with a 3.1 rating.
