American Idol is down. The ratings are still over 5, but for how long? And Glee is up–but against a re-run of “Person of Interest.” Although, Idol has to be a better lead in than the tepid X Factor.
On FOX, American Idol earned a 5.1 down 6% from last week’s 5.6 adults 18-49 rating. Glee returned to a 2.7 adults 18-49 rating up 35% from a 2.0 for its most recent episode on December 13 when it followed The X Factor.
