Ratings are in from TVBYTheNumbers
Fox won the night with adults 18-49 with a 90 minute “Michael Jackson night” of the The X Factor that drew a 3.7 adults 18-49 rating (naturally way up vs. Thanksgiving Eve, but down 5% vs. the two-hour telecast on November 16). . The premiere of I Hate My Teenage Daughter got a decent sampling and drew a 2.8 adults rating. Not “fantastic” but nowhere near abysmal either especially considering the pummeling it has taken for months with critics and TV media. Fox’s not-so-anonymous-really head of scheduling lovingly mocked on Twitter. With over 75% retention out of The X Factor, even the retentionistas don’t have much to work with. Yet.
At least X Factor beat Christmas From Rockefeller Center which was down 5% from a year ago.
