Ratings: Fox’s ‘All-Star Dog Rescue’ Special Lays Down Behind ABC Reruns

Fox’s “All-Star Dog Rescue” special rolled over for the other broadcast nets on Thanksgiving.

NBC predictably crushed all comers with primetime football, with CBS finishing in a distant second. Even ABC’s all-rerun lineup topped Fox in the key 18-49 demographic, though that ranking was reversed among total viewers.

CBS ran one repeat to kick off the night, but followed it with originals.
