And had its predecessor not garnered only 1.82 million viewers on January 23, its viewership average of 1.85 million would have been the smallest ever commanded by a &#8220;Glee&#8221; episode.<\/p>\n<p>The world might need love, but based on ratings for the past several &#8220;Glee&#8221; episodes, it has evidently decided it does not need FOX&#8217;s musical comedy.<\/p>\n<p>And the hint of positivity that existed in last week&#8217;s performance does not even exist this week.  &#8220;What the World Needs Now,&#8221; this Friday&#8217;s &#8220;Glee,&#8221; drew series low marks in adults 18-49 and total viewership.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Per fast national data, the episode commanded a paltry 0.5 adults 18-49 rating with 1.57 million viewers.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Never before had a &#8220;Glee&#8221; episode gone below a 0.6 in the adults 18-49 demographic, and no episode from the current season had posted worse than a 0.7.<\/p>\n<p>Like last week&#8217;s episode, &#8220;Glee&#8221; drew a 0.5 adults 18-34 rating.  Its 0.6 adults 25-54 rating, meanwhile, trailed the 0.7 commanded by last week&#8217;s installment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; FOX led into &#8220;Glee&#8221; with &#8220;World&#8217;s Funniest Fails.&#8221;  That 8PM entry also struggled this week; it fell to a 0.8 rating with 2.66 million viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34647,"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":[255,68,3537],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ratings: &quot;Glee&quot; Sinks to Series Low for &quot;What the World Needs Now&quot;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The story is simple: &quot;Glee&quot; continues to limp towards its series finale.
