However, it was the least-watched non-holiday episode since Sept. 10.<\/p>\n<p>Overall this fall TV season, Smackdown has averaged 2.094 million viewers. Through the same period last year on less-desirable Friday nights, Smackdown averaged 2.619 million viewers. This year&#8217;s season is down 20 percent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; In this week&#8217;s key demographics, Smackdown regained one-tenth of a rating in males 18-49, nearly three-tenths of a rating in males 18-34, and one-tenth in adults 18-49.<\/p>\n<p>All of the demos were in\u00a0the\u00a0normal range\u00a0this\u00a0Fall TV season. So, it appears Smackdown was unable to get back a bigger chunk of the audience because of NFL competition appealing to viewers outside of the 18-49 window.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-365487491\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1608112007\"><div id=\"pwtor-366091982\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Thursday&#8217;s episode of WWE Smackdown got some of the audience back that checked out for Thanksgiving.
