Last night's SmackDown averaged 2.338 million viewers over the two-hour broadcast, barely surpassing the series low of 2.336 million for a FOX episode. That show aired on November 29, which was the night after Thanksgiving.

This week's episode opened with 2.42 million viewers in hour one and lost seven percent of the viewership in hour two, with 2.257 million in that portion of the show.

SmackDown did manage to finish first among all network programming last night with a 0.4 rating in the 18-34 demo and a 0.65 in 18-49. For total viewers, though, SmackDown finished beneath all programming on ABC, CBS, and NBC.

Total viewers were down four percent from last week, and it dropped 11 percent in the 18-34 demo and seven percent in 18-49.

Last night's SmackDown was the go-home show for TLC. The pay-per-view is taking place in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sunday.
