NETWORK UPDATE:  NBC’s Thanksgiving night THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL adjusted up to 9.0.  There were also football-related adjustments at CBS, which had aired the late afternoon game:  the rerun BIG BANG THEORY lost 0.2 to 3.2, and LIFE IN PIECES dropped 0.1 to 2.1, but MOM gained 0.1 to 1.7. In addition, the MUPPETS rerun dropped 0.1 to 0.5.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  As with the broadcasters, many cable networks took the holiday off.  That allowed Syfy’s WWE to tie for the night’s lead, even though it was down 0.15 from last week to 0.46, with lead-out HAVEN down 0.06 to 0.13.  Wrestling shared the title with Hallmark’s movie 12 GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS.  Sports was well represented in the Top 10:  apart from 3 episodes of SPORTSCENTER, ESPN’s COLLEGE FOOTBALL game was at 0.38, and a pair of Univision soccer matches were at 0.31/0.28.  An episode of Food Network’s CHOPPED was at 0.27.
