BROADCAST FINALS: Most of the broadcast networks aired reruns on Thanksgiving. NBC of course had the primetime NFL game, which at 7.08 was 1.42 higher than last year’s game. FOX, though, took the honors with the afternoon game at a massive 12.46, and not wanting to waste that lead-in, the network aired episodes of THE MASKED SINGER at 2.20 and LEGO MASTERS at 0.91. CBS aired a promo episode of the Paramount+ series CRIMINAL MINDS: EVOLUTION at 0.31.
