How The Mighty Have Fallen

Remember when Glee was a juggernaut? When it was all everyone would talk about or watch on TV? Neither do I. Times have changed and Glee has rapidly fallen from it's mighty pedestal in the past few years.

In it's first year, Glee averaged 9.77 million viewers.
In it's second year, Glee averaged 10.11 million viewers.
In it's third year, Glee averaged 8.71 million viewers.

How is it doing now? Last week, Glee received 4.62 million viewers. Since it was during Thanksgiving, that number can be excused, so lets look at the episode from 2 weeks ago: 5.28 million viewers. That is nearly half the viewership of Glee from 2 seasons ago, and over 3 million less from last season. In it's prime, it was pulling a 4.0+ 18-49 demo point. Now, it's hovering around 2.0. Glee is shedding viewers left and right and fast. The train is slowing down, or rather, speeding up as it heads down the mountain.
