The ratings for Glee saw a huge drop last season. FOX announced that season six would be the final season and there would be just 13 episodes — that would run on Friday nights. How times have changed for this former hit series. Will the ratings surge upward for the final season or, will they continue to dwindle downward? Stay tuned to find out.
The final season of Glee begins as Rachel (Lea Michele) returns home to Lima following the incredibly quick cancellation of her TV show. She finds that Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) has banished the arts from McKinley High. Other regular cast members this season are Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Kevin McHale, Matthew Morrison, Chord Overstreet, Amber Riley, and Dot-Marie Jones. Set to return as guests are Jenna Ushkowitz, Dianna Agron, Mark Salling, Jayma Mays, Naya Rivera, Heather Morris, Becca Tobin, Harry Shum Jr., Alex Newell, Iqbal Theba, Lauren Potter, Max Adler, and Vanessa Lengies.

What do you think? Do you still like the Glee TV series? Do you think it should be ending or would you have watched a seventh season?
It was a great show the first 3 years until it became all about the Gay & Lesbian culture, then we stopped watching…

The numbers I had listed were an average for the first two episodes (which aired together). In researching your question, I found the individual ratings for each episode so have updated the chart. It didn’t impact the averages.
