- Thanksgiving Eve is always one of the more interesting days of the TV ratings season because we get to see how full-fledged originals perform in a heavily viewing-depressed environment. The only totally "full-strength" network this time was ABC, whose originals were all down a fairly consistent 14 to 19% from the previous originals and at season lows. The big takeaway: as these shows have grown, they have become more resilient to the holiday effect. In season one, Modern Family and The Middle were each down about 30% from their previous originals! In season two (last year), they were both down over 20%.
- The other originals were also at lows and down in that general vicinity, with Up All Night 21% off its last original and The X Factor down 16% from its last Thursday results show. We'll see how the TRUE numbers look when I get the half-hourlies later this week, but it looks like most shows avoided taking huge hits in that metric.
- Special programming like NBC's Biggest Loser special and Mobbed were pretty weak, with the former way down from last year's 1.7 rating.
