Overnight TV Ratings -- Santa Claus Wins

"Friday Night Lights" remains rock steady w 6+ million viewers every week. My favorite new drama of the season was tossed onto Monday night at 10 p.m., where it did modestly better than "Studio 60." But that one-off experiment hasn't confused fans -- since the show returned to its Tuesday at 8 p.m. slot, it's remained exactly where it's been since its debut. In other words, the people watching it are loyal. Oh, and fans of "Veronica Mars" need to accept that this will be the show's final season. For the complete ratings, go to MediaWeek's Marc Berman. (Note: the "r" indicates a rerun.)
