To the extent that next week’s pair of episodes form a two-hour finale event, this Friday’s “Glee” realistically functioned as the series’ penultimate installment.<\/p>\n
To the extent that it featured the annual “Sectionals” competition and revealed Rachel’s decision to return to NYADA, it was not a throwaway episode. It meant something within the context of the sixth and final “Glee” season.<\/p>\n
Both realities combined to produce a modest–but still visible–uptick in the show’s adults 18-49 rating and total viewership.<\/p>\n
Friday’s “Glee” drew a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating with 2.06 million viewers. Up from the 0.6 rating and 1.81 million viewership mark scored by the previous episode, the numbers represent the season’s second-best overall performance.<\/p>\n
Only the two-hour season premiere, which averaged a 0.7 with 2.34 million, fared better. That was also the only other season six broadcast to garner an audience in excess of two million.<\/p>\n
The two-hour “Glee” finale airs at 8PM on March 20.<\/p>\n
— FOX led into “Glee” with “World’s Funniest Fails” (0.8 rating, 2.69 million viewers)<\/p>\n
