NETWORK UPDATE:  Football adjustments brought down ABC’s line-up, as THE GREAT CHRISTMAS LIGHT FIGHT dropped 0.1 and GREAT HOLIDAY BAKING SHOW fell 0.2 in final numbers.  Elsewhere, the 10:30PM TELENOVELA managed to gain 0.1, but that still wasn’t anything to boast about.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN’s MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL rebounded in a big way from last week’s dreary game, up 1.43 to 4.81.  VH!, Discovery and USA divided the rest of the cable spoils.  On VH1, LOVE & HIP-HOP ticked up to 1.32, and it was followed by a BIG IN 2015 special at 0.86.  Discovery’s STREET OUTLAWS rose 0.06 to 1.26.  USA’s WWE was at 1.09-1.00 over its 3 hours, compared to 1.05-1.02 a week ago.  On Bravo, VANDERPUMP RULES held at 0.66, and APRES SKI was up 0.07 to 0.26.  NEON JOE arrived on Adult Swim at 0.57.  On TNT, MAJOR CRIMES dropped 0.09 to 0.42, while LEGENDS lost a tick to 0.13.  FX’s FARGO crept up 0.02 to 0.37 for the season’s next-to-last episode.  Comedy Central’s THE DAILY SHOW didn’t publicize Jon Stewart’s return appearance until Monday afternoon, and there wasn’t much of a ratings bump at 0.33, up 0.01 from last Monday.  On MTV, FOLLOW THE RULES was at 0.18.
