The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. Santa knows when you’ve been sleeping, and he knows when you’re awake; he also knows when you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.
