Lady Gaga's Thanksgiving Special Boosts ABC

by Philiana Ng

On a quiet Thanksgiving evening, specials, movies and repeats ruled the roost on Thursday evening.

The highest-profile program airing on primetime was Lady Gaga's much-anticipated (and hyped) 90-minute Thanksgiving special, which the singer conceived and directed herself.

Featuring a slew of performances (one with Tony Bennett) and an interview wtih Katie Couric, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving (5.5 million total viewers, 1.6 rating in adults 18-49 demographic) proved to be beneficial for ABC, boosting the network's time period performance from last year (when it aired a Beyonce music special) by 23 percent in the core adults 18-49 demo and drew more than 1 million more viewers.

The 90-minute special helped ABC post its best Thanksgiving ratings since 2007.

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving drew slightly more viewers at 8 p.m., luring 5.7 million and averaging a higher 1.8 rating.

I dont mind Lady Gaga but you know what this means? Next year, we will see an "Osmonds Thanksgiving".
