The latter aired on the Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n<p>The 2.99 million viewer total ranks as the series&#8217; second-lowest count; only &#8220;Puppet Master&#8221; garnered a smaller audience (2.84 million).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;New Girl&#8221; closed at a 1.4 with 2.84 million viewers, while &#8220;Brooklyn Nine-Nine&#8221; delivered a 1.3 with 2.66 million.<\/em><br \/>\n============<\/p>\n<p><b>Update:<\/b>  The new timeslot was not enough to revive &#8220;Glee.&#8221;  Tuesday&#8217;s midseason premiere averaged a non-holiday low 2.92 million viewers.  Only this year&#8217;s &#8220;Puppet Master,&#8221; which aired to little fanfare on Thanksgiving Day, garnered a smaller audience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Frenemies,&#8221; Tuesday&#8217;s episode, delivered a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating in its first half hour and a 1.1 in its second.  That average is currently rounded up to a 1.2 in the fast nationals; if it holds in the finals, the performance will narrowly top that of &#8220;Previously Unaired Christmas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a 1.1 rating, that fall finale episode ranks as the worst performing non-holiday edition in the adults 18-49 demographic. <\/p>\n<p>FOX followed &#8220;Glee&#8221; with low-rated editions of &#8220;New Girl&#8221; (1.4, 2.85 million) and &#8220;Brooklyn Nine-Nine&#8221; (1.3, 2.63 million).<br \/>\n=============<\/p>\n<p>In the most shocking television news story of the season, stripping &#8220;Glee&#8221; of it music competition series lead-in and placing it head-to-head with NBC&#8217;s monster &#8220;The Voice&#8221; was not successful.<\/p>\n<p>According to TVMI,Tuesday&#8217;s &#8220;Glee,&#8221; the first episode of 2014 and the first in its new Tuesday at 8PM timeslot, posted a series low 2.2 overnight household ratings.  Down from the 2.4 posted by the final 2013 airing, which competed with NBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Sound of Music,&#8221; the rating is an irrefutable disaster.<\/p>\n<p>In performing so poorly, &#8220;Glee&#8221; also failed to reinvigorate FOX&#8217;s critically acclaimed but low rated Tuesday sitcoms. &#8220;New Girl&#8221; and &#8220;Brooklyn Nine Nine,&#8221; which followed &#8220;Glee,&#8221; could only muster a 2.2 and 2.0, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the dramatic loss of buzz and even more dramatic loss of viewership, &#8220;Glee&#8221; is still confirmed for a sixth season at FOX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[260,255,68,261],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FOX&#039;s &quot;Glee&quot; Posts Weak Ratings, Viewership Low in New Timeslot<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: According to Nielsen&#039;s final broadcast ratings, &quot;Glee&quot; scored a 1.2 adults 18-49 rating with 2.99 million viewers.
