The Glee Project might be aiming to find the next Glee cast member, but it seems to be having trouble just finding an audience.
Despite positive reviews from critics, the reality show notched just under a half million viewers Sunday night, according to ratings reports. Comparatively, Glee averaged a little over 10 million viewers throughout the second season.
The competition show no doubt suffered greatly from airing at the same time as the Tony Awards, which posted a 9 percent gain in 18-49 viewership year over year. In somewhat more surprising figures, the NBA Finals might have also played a part. Among women 18-34, Game 6 stood as the No. 1 TV program of the week, according to figures from ABC, and was the highest rated Game 6 in 11 years.
简单翻译一下:
虽然首播获得好评,但平均收视只有50万人次,比Glee第2季平均一千万相差什远(差20倍)。
兢争来自同时段的Tony Award (舞台剧颁奖典礼) 和 NBA Finals (美国职业篮球季终)。
