Ratings: Broadcast Finals for December 30, 201

CBS swept a repeat filled night, thanks to the repeat-ability of the four sitcoms. Over the two hours, the comedies averaged 5.4 million viewers and a 1.3 rating in Adults 18-49. Each of the 4 shows improved from the previous week's repeat episodes. I bet fans are catching up with the comedies after devoting the fall to either THE VOICE or DWTS.

ABC's two holiday specials didn't draw much interest. CHARLIE BROWN did finish second in the hour, but the RUDOLPH special dropped to 3rd in the hour.

The CW should look at using Mondays for something other than their two current dramas. Most of the holiday specials the network has aired has out rated original episodes of HART OF DIXIE and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

ABC - 4.1 million viewers, 0.9 rating in Adults 18-49
