Glee was such a mess time wise. It started late, and the my dvr cut some of the last half off.
Wait the X factor adjusted up three tenths? That’s huge!
Oh My God!!
What happend to TVD and BATB!!???
@Ardnaskela
They’re repeats on Thanksgiving
it was a repeat relax
@Ardnaskela
Glee 1.5. lol At least it wasn’t adjusted down.
Didn’t everyone say X Factor was going to be adjusted down to a 1.9 or something…!
That’s a great result for a Thanksgiving night.
Now of course let’s see how the show does this week against its usual competition!
TBBT repeat beats new Glee. *smile*
They should have just aired a longer episode of X Factor and let Glee have the night off.
That’s very good for X Factor!
That is a shame glee. TBBT rerun beat your new episodes.
Decent for X Factor. Pathetic for Glee.
I enjoy X Factor. I realize its overproduced but there is some real talent here and I like Simon and Brit as judges. Until Idol returns, it is Fox’s biggest show. Not a flop like some declare, and ofcourse not a massive blockbuster (like The Voice and Idol), just a modest hit.
Ouch Glee!
Very good for XF and awful numbers for Glee.
I think this is the last season for Glee. Awful numbers.
Awesome for The X Factor considering what people were saying about how it was going to be adjusted down! Agree with @Fred-the show is not a flop. It obviously didn’t do as well as expected and I personally think it would be doing way better if The Voice wasn’t on the air. I think it’s hard with two music competition shows on the air. I know they are on different days, but I think a lot of people don’t want to watch 4 days of singing. I myself only watch X Factor and not The Voice because that is just too much competition TV for me!
Lol @ those saying this is the last season for Glee based on those numbers. Like FOX would really use Thanksgiving numbers to determine the show’s fate. They will probably deem it a “special” and not even count its ratings towards the actual TV season.
Good for “X-Factor.” FOX is anxiously waiting for Wednesday to see if this brought in new viewers…
Glee will be up this week, at least for once they’ll read ‘Glee gained x %’
