Fox's post-game attraction, a special episode of Glee, it was down from what CBS' Undercover Boss scored after the big game last year. From 10:30-11:30 PM, Fox's average was 16.5/28 (Glee aired from 10:39-11:44 PM). Last year, Undercover Boss averaged a 22.5/36 metered market rating and drew 38.7 million viewers, the most for a post-Super Bowl program in almost a decade. (Since Survivor in 2001). Reality shows clearly work better behind the big game.

it just doesn't seem like the two shows would have much of an audience in common :confused:

Even the idiots who run network TV these days should have realized that the people who watch football are not the same people who watch Glee! I would think there is almost no overlap at all between the two audiences!

I didn't understand this move at all, either. :confused:

It's also worth noting that the Super Bowl "Glee" episode is the show's highest rated episode to date.
