Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. From fourth quarter 2012 to fourth-quarter 2013, the hours consumers spent watching online video grew 30%. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, ‘It’s all about screens’.

The Peacock Network had the third game in the NFL Triple Header on Thanksgiving. AT 8P, ‘Football Night In America’ drew 15.03 million. Then at 830P, ‘Thanksgiving Thursday Night Football’ featuring the Seattle Seahawks crushing the San Francisco 49ers 19-3, dominated the ratings. The game drew million viewers and 12.5 rating and a 25 share. The 12.5 in metered-market households is the best-ever rating for Thanksgiving primetime game. Top local ratings for the Seahawks-49ers game on NBC were: Seattle, 35.5/74; Sacramento, 26.4/56; Portland, 19.8/44; San Francisco, 18.8/49; Las Vegas, 18.4/36; Phoenix, 17.9/35; Richmond, 17.5/32; Baltimore, 16.9/31; San Diego, 16.6/38; and Denver, 15.6/33.
CBS
The Tiffany Network, except for its initial program ran a full slate of first run programming. Surprisingly, their top program at 8P, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ was a rerun. It drew 8.0 million viewers. At 830P, ‘Mom’ drew 7.17 million viewers. At 9P, ‘2 and 1/2 Men’ pulled in 6.89 million viewers. At 930P, the disappointing ‘McCarthy’s’ drew 5.28 million viewers. Look for it to be cancelled. Then at 10P, form a disastrous lead-in, ‘Elementary’ pulled Black Rock up and finished with 5.96 million viewers, easily beating everything except football.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast had an unusual Thanksgiving programming idea. What if you….at 8P and for the balance its prime time, it ran ‘FOX’s Cause for Paws: An All-Star Dog Spectacular’ and it drew 5.33 million viewers. To say this network has gone to the dogs is an understatement. But, on the heels of the National Dog Show earlier in the day on NBC, the bow-wow lovers found a home. Unfortunately, this will probably become a tradition.
ABC
The Alphabet Network had a few dogs of its own on this Thanksgiving. At 8P, ‘Thank You America With Robin Roberts’ drew 3.57 million viewers, good for fourth place in the time slot. At 9P, a rerun of ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ drew 2.32 million viewers. And to make sure everyone knows about murder, at 10P, another rerun of ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ drew 2.58 million viewers. Perhaps Murdoch’s Minions have this third place thing figured out. Maybe Disneyites should follow, but with cats.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t didn’t. At 8P, a rerun of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ drew 900,000 viewers. Then at 830P, another rerun of ‘WLIIA’ drew 950,000 million viewers. AT 9P, yet another rerun of ‘Whose Line’ drew 1.12 million viewers. Then at 930, a fourth rerun of ‘Whose Line’ drew 1.06 million viewers.
For The Record
NBC was #1 on Thanksgiving with 17.28 million viewers. CBS finished #2 with 6.54 million viewers. FOX finished third with 5.33 million viewers. ABC finished with 2.82 million viewers and The CW finished with 1.01 million viewers.
Today In TV History
On this date in 1966, the 200th episode of ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ aired. Sheldon Leonard, producer of The Danny Thomas Show, and Danny Thomas, hired veteran comedy writer Arthur Stander (who had written many of the “Danny Thomas” episodes) to create a pilot show for Andy Griffith, featuring him as justice of the peace and newspaper editor in a small town. At the time, Broadway, film, and radio star Griffith was interested in attempting a television role, and the William Morris Agency told Leonard that Griffith’s rural background and previous rustic characterizations were suited to the part. After conferences between Leonard and Griffith in New York, Griffith flew to Los Angeles and filmed the episode. On February 15, 1960, The Danny Thomas Show episode “Danny Meets Andy Griffith” aired. In the episode, Griffith played fictional Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry, North Carolina, who arrests Danny Williams (Thomas’s character) for running a stop sign. Future players in The Andy Griffith Show, Frances Bavier and Ron Howard, appeared in the episode as townspeople Henrietta Perkins and Opie Taylor (the sheriff’s son). General Foods, sponsor of The Danny Thomas Show, had first access to the spinoff and committed to it immediately. On October 3, 1960 at 9:30 pm, The Andy Griffith Show made its debut.
