  1. I wonder where Emily123 is and her complete inaccurate predictions that Glee would be a huge failure.

  2. Victor Hugo

    The Middle tied #2 with Gary Unmarried…

  3. rob

    The Middle and Gary Unmarried tied in demo but The Middle beat it in viewers!!!!!!!

  4. At some point we tired with Emily and his/her alternate personas and blocked it from commenting. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. If Glee ever drops below a 3.0, I’d look for a return appearance.

  5. Thanks Robert!

  6. forg

    Good to see all the ABC comedies did not go down. Glee’s W18-34 demo is amazing!

  7. FringeFan

    Glad to see The middle with a 2.4 and tying Gary Unmarried, it’s a real struggle between those two this season. The Middle is such a great throwback to family comedies, and it’s funny week to week

  8. Adam

    Stay tuned next week, when Glee scores a 3.3. It’s scary how consistent the show is.

  9. Joss's Biggest Fan

    You heard it here first: “Glee” will go up 12-tenths of a point in final numbers when the Joss directed episode airs!

    Of course, this “Glee” show obviously owes everything it is to Joss! You see, everything I’ve read has said it was originally designed to be paired with “American Idol”! And as everyone relevant knows, “American Idol” began on FOX a mere seven months after Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired its awesome musical episode! I’ve heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone that, the day after Buffy’s musical episode aired, the people at FOX decided they had to have a music show of their own! Bing, bang, boom! “American Idol” was born! Joss be praised!

    Dollhouse forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever!

    Mercy stuck to a 2.0 in the finals, the last two times it’s gotten a 2 in the prelims, it has sunk to a 1.9 in the finals, this is a good sign for fans of the show.

    South Park held to it’s 1.5, but it’s still been weakening since the season premiere. The season finale was kind of disappointing to me, but it was at least better than “The F Word” episode.

    Bravo, best post in weeks!

  12. tvmegafan

    YAY for GLEE, I love the show soooooo much. cant wait for eve to guest star on next weeks ep. Also Loved that you posted Nip/tucks numbers. Thanks soooo much

    You know, Glee’s young women demos are better than House & Desperate Housewives’ adult demos. Interesting. Aka amazing.

    Also, lol at the disparity for Fox & CW’s genders. Iff there are about the same # of young men and women,
    Top Model 1.6 W, 0.6 M & 3.2 W, 0.8 M
    Dance 3.1 W, 1.1 M
    Glee 5.4 W, 2.0 M

  14. Jesse

    I don’t think any show’s ratings, even Glee’s, are that impressive nowadays. All the 3.7 for Glee in women 18-34 means is that 3.7% of them watch the show….which also means 96.3% of women 18-34 in this country DON’T watch Glee.

  15. Jesse, are you as old as I am? Indeed, the days of Gunsmoke are long gone.

  16. Tiffany

    Did anyone catch the Glee contest clues last Wednesday?
