It tied CBS’ Survivor as the No.1 program of the night with a 2.1 in adults 18-39, up +31% from last year. Over the last three years, the Peanuts classic has posted 1.1 (2012, Thanksgiving night), 1.6 (2013, Thanksgiving night) and 2.1 last night. ....

Then of course there are the theatrical animated features.

So it looks like JenLaw will stay on top this weekend.
