Merry Christmas, CHUCK.
NBC:  With the only original scripted hour of television on the networks last night, and facing nothing but repeats in its timeslot, Chuck‘s present was a 0.1 rise from last week, and the network’s highest rating of the night (albeit a 1.0 that still left it in 2d place for its hour). 

ABC:  Repeat holiday specials were enough to win 8-10PM, and a new 20/20 beat a repeat DATELINE at 10PM (although both were behind a CBS rerun).
CBS:  Repeats of CSI NY and BLUE BLOODS respectively tied and held the lead in their hours.
FOX:  More reruns, no one cared.
CW:  By the network’s and the night’s standards, the 0.5 for the repeat of GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER wasn’t bad.  
On Christmas night, the only new programming will be NBC’s Green Bay vs. Chicago game.
