Football was the night’s main attraction.
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).
Ratings analysis follows the chart.
NBC: A close Giants vs. Philadelphia THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL game that had playoff meaning earned a preliminary 3.5, up 0.8 over last week’s blowout.
ABC: The season’s second run of A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS was down 0.3 from its December 1 airing to 1.2. Back-to-back episodes of THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW were at 1.0/0.8, compared to last week’s 0.8 for a single hour.
CW: The night’s episode of TERRY CREWS SAVES CHRISTMAS was 0.1 below the previous nights at 0.2, the same as the SUPERNATURAL rerun that followed it.
CBS: Reruns, led (naturally) by 1.2 for THE BIG BANG THEORY.
FOX: HELL’S KITCHEN reruns at 0.5/0.5.
TERRY CREWS SAVES CHRISTMAS ends its run tonight with a 2-hour finale, and CBS has its annual A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS special.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
This feature will return in January.
