On Wednesday night, NBC had its annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center special, which was up a little bit from last year. It led into the newest Dolly Parton family movie. The results were just as good as last year with a strong, though old skewing, performance. NBC just can seemingly do no wrong this year as everything from regularly scheduled shows to specials have done fairly well. The CW's successful crossover week continued with Arrow surging 1.7 million viewers and six tenths in the demo for its best performance since the last crossover back in December 2015. Like No Tomorrow on Tuesday, it was no help to Frequency, which was even with last week. On CBS, Survivor was up 1.2 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week's two hour Thanksgiving Eve broadcast. Criminal Minds did not air last week and was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing. At 10pm, Code Black was down three tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. CBS announced that Doubt, not season two of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, will take the Weds 10pm slot in February after Code Black's season ends.

On ABC, The Goldbergs was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. Speechless was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Both these shows seemed to get dinged by NBC's special and they'll likely get hit harder next week when they have to face Hairspray Live! At 9pm, Modern Family was down half a million viewers and even in the demo. Despite the comedies being down or even at best, Black-ish was down two tenths but up two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Designated Survivor rose for the first time in its run as it was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Finally on FOX, Lethal Weapon was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low. At 9pm, Empire was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low while the viewer total was an outright series low. Empire is another show that could be nicked by Hairspray next week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Arrow (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Frequency (CW)
