Syndicated game shows might as well have mailed it in for the week ending December 19. Broadcasting & Cable presents the unexciting news...Wheel of Fortune 7.2 - down a tick
Jeopardy 6.1 - flat
Millionaire 2.3 - flat
Family Feud 1.7 - down a tick
5th Grader 1.0 - flat, this is getting real old
Lyrics 1.0 - wow, up a whole tick to a season high
At least Lyrics crawled up to the big one-oh. Nowadays, that's not such a horrible number. Nothing yet from TV by the Numbers on viewership averages for the twin towers.
Meanwhile, weekly blogger Aaron tells us that Cash Cab will roll through the syndie streets starting January 10. Aaron speculates that some other syndie gamer, probably Lyrics, will soon get the ax. I dunno, I wouldn't look for a midseason cancellation. This week Lyrics actually got the second-best household rating of any syndication rookie, only three ticks behind Nancy Grace.
