The post-Thanksgiving episode of Friday Night SmackDown saw the show drop in the fast-national numbers.
Friday’s show from Alabama averaged an overnight audience of 2,336,000 viewers, it’s second-lowest figure since premiering on Fox in October. The final number will be out in a few days.
Last week’s final number was 2,544,000 for the episode leading into Survivor Series weekend.
The show did a 0.7 in the 18-49 demographic, which tied CBS’ airing of Frosty the Snowman atop that demographic among network programming. SmackDown also averaged a 0.45 with adults 18-34 for the entire episode and was tops for the night.
The first hour of the show did 2,350,000 viewers that largely remained for the second hour with 2,322,000 from 9-10 pm Eastern.
CBS, which has the strongest lineup of Friday night programming, aired reruns of Hawaii Five-O and Blue Bloods.
Airings of Frosty the Snowman and Frosty Returns went against the first hour of SmackDown and Frosty was a draw with 4,043,000 from 8-8:30 and 3,453,000 from 8:30-9.
