We’re still deep in the holiday rerun mini-season, but there were a few glimmers of original programming on Friday night.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).
CBS: The behind-the-scenes sitcom special NOW THAT’S FUNNY! garnered little interest at 0.7, although it outrated the 0.6/0.6 reruns that followed it.
NBC: The last episode of CAUGHT ON CAMERA was up 0.1 to 1.0, but DATELINE fell 0.2 to 1.1.
ABC: 20/20 gained 0.1 to 1.2, after reruns topped by SHARK TANK at 1.0.
FOX: An all-rerun night led by ICE AGE: A MAMMOTH CHRISTMAS at 0.7, but it’s worth noting that the network’s attempt to prepare the 9PM timeslot for the arrival of GLEE didn’t go very well, with a rerun episode at 0.3.
CW: Reruns topped by 0.4 for a WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY episode.
The only fresh programming on tonight’s primetime schedule is NBC’s WWE TRIBUTE TO THE TROOPS. On Sunday, the CBS line-up is all new, as NBC bids a fond farewell to SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL for the season. (However, the network gets a gigantic final bang for its buck as this season’s carrier of the SUPER BOWL) On cable, HBO airs the season finale of cult comedy THE COMEBACK.
CABLE RATINGS: Detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs resume Monday.
