Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Somewhat weirdly, the premiere of Syfy’s INCORPORATED rated higher on its USA simulcast (0.20) then on Syfy itself (0.15). Neither of those numbers are much to celebrate, although it should be noted that the episode had previously been made available via VOD/streaming.

Note that unless otherwise stated, comparisons are to 2 weeks ago, since many shows didn’t air new episodes on Thanksgiving Eve.   Comedy Central’s SOUTH PARK led Wednesday originals, even though its 0.82 was down 0.26 from its last airing, while lead-out LEGENDS OF CHAMBERLAIN HEIGHTS fell 0.08 to 0.23, and THE DAILY SHOW (with Trevor Noah interviewing Tomi Lahren) hit the Top 10 at 0.37.  History’s VIKINGS returned at 0.71, down 0.11 from February’s season premiere, a lead-in VIKINGS SPECIAL was at 0.42, and lead-out TRUE VIKINGS followed at 0.34.  The season finale of OWN’s QUEEN SUGAR rose 0.11 from last week to 0.55.  On TV Land, YOUNGER was steady at 0.20, and IMPASTOR held at 0.08.  WGN’s SALEM fell 0.02 to 0.08.  Sundance’s RECTIFY was steady with last week at 0.04/172K.
