Congrats if you detected the deeply buried Paul McCartney reference in the title. Unfortunately, the photo of Pat Sajak catches him in an unsmiling mood. But that was before he saw the ratings for the latest week. Broadcasting & Cable delivers the smile-worthy news for the week ending January 16...Wheel of Fortune 8.1 - up three ticks to a second straight season high
Jeopardy 6.6 - even pre-Watson, up a couple ticks to its second straight season high
Millionaire 2.4 - up a tick, also a season high
Family Feud 1.9 - up a tick
5th Grader 1.1 - up a tick, everybody smiles
Lyrics 0.8 - flat, well, almost everybody smiles
Millionaire even made the top 25 list at TV by the Numbers for the first time in a long time. The viewership averages for the top three: Wheel of Fortune 13.1 million (weekend repeat 4.1 million), Jeopardy 10.4 million, Millionaire 3.6 million. Very healthy numbers all around.
