NETWORK FINALS: NBC’s THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL (contrary to popular belief, the NFL can’t transform Thursday into Sunday just by saying so) adjusted to 6.9, far below 2015’s 9.0 game. Elsewhere, the rerun of THE GREAT INDOORS lost 0.1, and the PITCH rerun added 0.1.
Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart
CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: There wasn’t much in the way of original cable programming on Thanksgiving night, which is why the Top 10 is clogged with episodes of SPORTSCENTER. ESPN’s LSU vs. Texas A&M COLLEGE FOOTBALL game took the night’s honors at 0.78, and Hallmark’s movie CHRISTMAS IN HOMESTEAD was next at 0.58. Univision had a pair of LIGA soccer matches at 0.53/0.35. HGTV aired a new HOUSE HUNTERS INTL, down 0.08 to 0.22, and HOUSE HUNTERS, down 0.11 to 0.21. Food Network’s CHOPPED dropped 0.16 to 0.19. POP’s IMPACT WRESTLING fell 0.04 to 0.05. With the holiday and no BIG BANG THEORY lead-in, TBS’s SEARCH PARTY plummeted to 0.05/0.04.
