Posted September 29, 201014 yr Britney Spears' 'Glee' Sets Series Record -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13.3 million viewers tuned in Tuesday night up 4 percent from its premiere last week. ABC's "No Ordinary Family" got off to an impressively strong start Tuesday night while Fox's "Glee" rose in the ratings to a series high thanks to its eagerly anticipated tribute to Britney Spears. "Glee" drew 13.3 million viewers and a 5.8 preliminary adults 18-49 rating -- dominating the night, rising 4% from its mammoth premiere last week and scoring the pop-drama's biggest rating ever (yes, higher than the show's Madonna-themed episode). "Glee" led into the second episodes of "Raising Hope" (7.5 million, 3.2), which climbed a tenth of a point, and "Running Wilde" (4.7 million, 2.1), which widened the gap between the comedies, falling 13%. Here's interesting factoid about "Glee" from the Fox ratings department: "This is the first time in 17 years that the highest-rated entertainment program of premiere week grew in Week 2 among adults 18-49 and total viewers (since Fall '93, 'Seinfeld')." "No Ordinary Family" (10.5 million, 3.1) is ABC's biggest new series premiere this season and performed well airing against stiff competition from "Glee." Fox won the night. CBS was next, with the second rounds of "NCIS" (18.7 million, 4.0) and "NCIS: LA" (16.4 million, 3.7) demonstrating the sort of stability that CBS dramas are known for. "NCIS" was flat with last week's debut, while "LA" improved 9%. The second season premiere of "The Good Wife" (12.9 million, 2.5), however, slipped 19% from last year. ABC ranked third, with "No Ordinary Family" leading into "Dancing With the Stars" results show (3.7), dropping 16%. The second week of "Detroit 1-8-7" (9.2 million, 2.2) was down a tenth. NBC had "The Biggest Loser" (2.7), down 7%. At 10 p.m., "Parenthood" (4.8 million, 2.0) is on a worrisome trend, falling 20% to a series low. The CW aired "One Tree Hill" (1.8 million, 0.9), on par with last week, and "Life Unexpected" (1.6 million, 0.8), rising slightly. Source
September 29, 201014 yr Hell-O got 13.66 million viewers. I don't quite understand how Britney/Brittany is setting a new record. :unsure:
September 29, 201014 yr Author Hell-O got 13.66 million viewers. I don't quite understand how Britney/Brittany is setting a new record. :unsure: I read somewhere that was with tivo and DVR views combined...
September 29, 201014 yr It's all been cleared out in the Glee forum [/cheap plug :kink:] Something about it being RATINGS and not watched or something :wacko: 5.8 for 'Britney/Brittany' and 5.6 for 'Hell-O'... I can't remember exactly but either way Glee and Fox teams are really, really pleased with the results :D (Fox won that slot)
September 29, 201014 yr Author I guess this means they will be going ahead with the second Britney episode then!
September 29, 201014 yr Yep and straight after the Superbowl too, isn't it?! :w00t: I really hope they get Britney to play a bigger role though...
September 30, 201014 yr Author It would be cool if they could get her to play an actual character... someone related to Quinn preferably. I'd like to see them do 'Womanizer', 'Gimme More' and 'Circus'... and hopefully by that time Britney's new single off her new album. AND QUINN DO A DUET WITH BRITNEY - 'Piece of Me' would be PERFECT.
