A night for TV comfort food.
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 and comparisons follow the chart.
CW: After what amounted to a tease on Monday’s SUPERGIRL, the network’s crossover-palooza went into high gear with THE FLASH, which jumped 0.4 to a season-high 1.5. Despite that boost, NO TOMORROW only gained 0.1 to 0.4.
CBS: 52 years after its debut, RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER was down 0.1 from last year’s airing at 2.3, a significantly better number than new episodes of NCIS have been doing in that slot. It was followed by 1.3/0.9 procedural reruns.
NBC: THE VOICE rose 0.1 to 1.9, easily outshined by THIS IS US, which climbed 0.3 to 2.7. CHICAGO FIRE ended the night up 0.2 to 1.7.
ABC: THE MIDDLE stayed at 1.6, and AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE fell 0.1 to 1.4. FRESH OFF THE BOAT (1.2) and THE REAL O’NEALS (1.0) returned from a week off each down 0.1. AGENTS OF SHIELD aired for the first time in 4 weeks and held at 0.8.
FOX: BROOKLYN NINE-NINE was up 0.1 to 1.0, while NEW GIRL (0.8) and SCREAM QUEENS (0.5) stayed where they were.
NBC goes holiday tonight, with CHRISTMAS IN ROCKEFELLER CENTER and a new CHRISTMAS OF MANY COLORS movie. On cable, Syfy premieres INCORPORATED, VIKINGS returns to History, and OWN airs the season finale of QUEEN SUGAR.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
