So I didn't make it here early this week as I thought, but the numbers are all here.

An announcement from the site, though this doesn't change things as this is for target audiences and I only do tenths of a point anyway, using information already given for total viewers to thousandths of a point.

"A holiday gift for our readers: we are now able to provide final broadcast network ratings to the hundredths of a point."

Some additional information: as you should know by now, I save my work periodically so I won't lose it, so if you see a number to the left, except for no. 1 or no. 2, it's last week's.

I included a post-game show on Fox that lasted all of eight minutes in prime time because wow.

There won't be too many new episodes of series, but one in particular should be of interest. "The Masked Dancer" didn't perform all that well given its lead-in and the spectacular numbers of the show with the similar title, but that's a good number for Fox.

Two Christmas specials supposedly have different titles but all I was given was this much, so I treated them as two episodes of a series.

And I've been waiting nearly a week to say it: Bailey beat Barnum on Thursday night.

I don't see how but as soon as I saved it the first time two people had seen it. Now it's 13.

Wednesday's numbers are preliminary and apparently haven't been fixed. They include this announcement: "As the sharp-eyed will note, the chart below is currently a reprint of this morning’s preliminary ratings. Until that’s replaced, here are the adjustments in finals." Obviously they were not replaced. The target audience adjustments included "a drop of 0.1 (to zero, or more precisely 0.05) for SILENT NIGHT: A SONG FOR THE WORLD." That show had two different numbers, one for the first hour and one for the second. I averaged those numbers and rounded them.

And The CW didn't do well at all, even though four of the series may have had new episodes.

Notice there were three different versions of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", and two aired the same night. The one not preceded by "Movie" or "Dr. Seuss" was the 1966 special.

And that's it. If the finale of "I Can See Your Voice" was actually two hours, it was listed as if it were two one-hour episodes.

"WWE Smackdown" got its best numbers yet, I do believe, thanks to that lead-in.

And "Next" improved over the past several weeks.

"The Masked Dancer" actually did quite well, as it turns out, when you look at where it ranked. It doesn't take much on a holiday week.
