Ratings: Glee, NCIS: LA and DWTS Hit Lows, New Girl and Ringer Rise
On another of those strangely soft primetime nights — overall TV usage was down some 9 percent in the 8 o’clock hour — several shows hit all-time lows in the demo on Wednesday.
Among them: Glee returned from hiatus to 6.7 million total viewers and a 2.7 rating, down 10 percent from its winter finale; NCIS: Los Angeles (12.8 mil/2.3) dropped 13 and 23 percent; Dancing With the Stars (13 mil/2.3) fell 17 percent; and CBS’ Unforgettable (9.5 mil/1.8) slipped double digits to get bested by fellow bubble show Body of Proof‘s season finale (10.2 mil/1.9).
