'The Year: 2015' Courtesy of ABCThe pop culture recap wins by default, facing zero original competition.
Another night of slim pickings on the broadcast networks, more or less checked out for the holidays, produced a very modest win for the night's lone original offering.
ABC current events retrospective The Year 2015, a rehashing of the year's bigger pop culture moments (Disney-owned Star Wars and Diane Sawyer's Caitlyn Jenner exclusive included), averaged a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49 and 4.1 million viewers between 9 and 11 p.m.
The biggest turnout of the night, however, happened during the 8 o'clock hour. A repeat of NCIS, on CBS, was the night's highest-rated (1.2 in the key demo) and most-watched (10.8 million viewers) thing going for TV last night.
The NCIS repeat bested direct competition from NBC, a holiday special outing of Hollywood Game Night (0.8 adults).
