FOX ratings last night were nearly identical to two Thursdays ago (the last time The X Factor and Bones were in originals). Both shows last represent major time period improvements over the same night last year: The X Factor (3.1) vs Bones (2.3) last year at 8 pm, and Bones (2.9) vs Fringe (1.8) last year at 9. For the night, FOX averaged a 3.0 rating, good enough for first place (a sad statement) on a night filled with repeats and specials on the competition.

ABC found itself in second place for the evening with a 2.1 Adult 18-49 rating. Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (2.2 rating) was down one tenth of a rating point from last year, when the special aired in the same time period. From 9-11 pm last night ABC aired CMA Country Christmas (part of the price of being able to air the more popular CMA Awards) and scored a 2.1 rating. This rating is up substantially from the 1.4 it received last year (airing on Monday, November 29 after the 1.2-rated Skating with the Stars). Last year on the comparable Thursday, however, ABC aired originals of Grey's Anatomy (4.0) and Private Practice (2.8).

Last year on this night: Community (1.9), 30 Rock (2.3), The Office (3.7), Outsourced (2.5), and Apprentice (1.4).
