Glee Gets as Good as It Gives!

An Emmy-winning guest star. A killer duet. And a Queen cover, to boot.

Glee, not to mention Kristin Chenoweth, who engaged McKinley High's own Lea Michele in a no-notes-barred sing-off, gave a lot last night. And in return, the Fox show topped 7 million viewers for the first time since its fall premiere, per Nielsen estimates.

While Glee got bigger, Law & Order: SVU (7.9 million) again looked smaller than usual in its new, earlier time slot. (Thanks, Jay Leno.)

Elsewhere, CBS' Criminal Minds (13.6 million) ruled as Wednesday's most-watched show. ABC continued to have success with Modern Family (9.9 million) and Cougar Town (9.1 million), even if both comedies were predicatably off from their premieres.

Even more so than last week, ABC's Eastwick (6.6 million) was rendered powerless at 10 p.m. against CBS' CSI: NY (12.9 million).
