The series&#8217; previous low marks were a 0.9 demo rating and a 2.30 million viewership average.<\/p>\n<p>The season finales of &#8220;New Girl&#8221; and &#8220;The Mindy Project,&#8221; which followed &#8220;Glee,&#8221; posted respective ratings of 1.2 (with 2.40 million) and 1.3 (with 2.48 million).<br \/>\n==<br \/>\n<b>Update:<\/b> If it does not receive an upward adjustment in the final Nielsen report, Tuesday&#8217;s edition of &#8220;Glee&#8221; will rank as the series&#8217; worst-rated and least-watched episode to date.<\/p>\n<p>Per Fast National Data, &#8220;Glee&#8221; scored a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating with 2.16 million viewers.  No previous episode had attracted a demo rating of less than 0.9 or a viewership total of less than 2.30 million.<\/p>\n<p>While last week&#8217;s episode delivered the same 0.8 in the fast nationals, it was adjusted up to a 0.9 in the finals.  Its viewership tally was stronger in both reports.<\/p>\n<p>FOX followed &#8220;Glee&#8221; with the season finales of &#8220;New Girl&#8221; (1.2, 2.39 million) and &#8220;The Mindy Project&#8221; (1.3, 2.45 million).<\/em><br \/>\n=======<\/p>\n<p>Offering a distraction from the negativity surrounding the &#8220;Glee&#8221; ratings and backstage situation, Tuesday&#8217;s episode, which was penned by star Chris Colfer, represented one of the most unabashedly feel-good hours in the series&#8217; history.<\/p>\n<p>It did not, however, hook viewers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Old Dog, New Tricks,&#8221; the fifth season&#8217;s penultimate episode, drew a 1.9 overnight household rating.  It ties last week&#8217;s showing as a low for the series.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;New Girl&#8221; and &#8220;Mindy Project&#8221; season finales, which followed, drew respective 1.9 and 1.8 overnight household ratings.<\/p>\n<p>Updated ratings data, including adults 18-49 ratings and viewership totals, will be available by noon.<\/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":[801,255,68,261,834],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Update: &quot;Glee&quot; Ratings Slip to Series Low for Colfer&#039;s Episode<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update 2: The only adjustment &quot;Glee&quot; experienced was a downward one in viewership.
