THE SKED’S THURSDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/20/12

 

The X Factor cycle finale dominated a night of specials and reruns.

FOX:  X FACTOR‘s 3.1 was down a substantial 0.7 from the last cycle finale, but was still enough to win on a weak holiday season night.

ABC:  The night started with 1.4 for yet another Charlie Brown special, then the CMA COUNTRY CHRISTMAS special only managed 1.4, down 0.7 from last year’s installment.

NBC:  A WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS was better than most of NBC’s Thursday 8PM programming this season with 1.6.  That was followed by 1.0/0.8 for repeats of THE OFFICE and PARKS AND RECREATION, and 0.8 for ROCK CENTER.

CBS:  After 2.9/2.3 for an hour of BIG BANG THEORY/2 1/2 MEN  repeats, drama repeats of PERSON OF INTEREST and ELEMENTARY were at 1.7/1.3.

CW:  In rerun mode at 0.3 for both VAMPIRE DIARIES and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
