  • Also way down was Fox’s Tuesday offerings.  The Mindy Project returned from an extended hiatus to a 1.0 rating for back-to-back episodes and scored 1.93 and 1.94 million viewers, respectively.  That’s down 33% from a 1.5 rating for its last original episode.  Glee, meanwhile, tied its series low with a paltry 0.9 rating and 2.61 million viewers, dropping 18% from last week’s episode.  That said, both shows have already been renewed.
