( EW.com ) -- It 's remarkable how strong the Charlie Brown specials continue to perform in the ratings , year after year . `` A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving '' is not the most popular entry in the beloved animated franchise ( both `` A Charlie Brown Christmas '' and It 's the `` Great Pumpkin , Charlie Brown '' deliver bigger numbers ) . Yet the program still managed to hold its own against CBS ' `` Survivor '' and Fox 's `` The X-Factor '' ( in fact , the special edged out Factor in total viewers , see below ) . Plus , '' A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving '' delivered its biggest audience in four years â€ ” 8.1 million viewers and a 2.2 rating in the adult demo , up 22 percent from last year . Pretty spry for a 39-year-old repeat , huh ? As for the rest of the programs last night , well ... only the most masochistic of TV showrunners and network executives even look at ratings during a holiday week ( which is to say , pretty much all of them ) . Everything slipped from last week , with CBS ' `` CSI '' dropping the least ( only 8 percent ) and NBC 's `` Law & Order : SVU '' falling the most ( down 24 percent ) .
