Basketball and daylight savings time didn't help the syndication bunch in the week ending March 20. Broadcasting & Cable says flat or down for the syndie gamers...Wheel of Fortune 7.2 - down a tick but it's hardly suffering
Jeopardy 5.5 - down five ticks, anybody seen that computer?
Millionaire 2.3 - flat
Family Feud 1.7 - flat
5th Grader 0.9 - flat and gone
Lyrics 0.7 - flatter and goner
GSN's upcoming game-talk-relationship-whatever show host Wendy Williams ain't setting the ratings world afire with her current gig. Her talker lost a tick to an unprepossessing 0.9. As usual, TV by the Numbers is not rushing their top 25 syndie list. Instead, they're running their 4,309,231st item on whether Chuck will survive. Wish I cared enough to watch a minute of the show.
TV by the Numbers finally produced the viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 11.5 million (weekend repeat 4.2 million), Jeopardy 8.4 million, Millionaire 3.2 million. As always, the twin towers remain the most-watched game shows in this country.
GSN scored a 362K viewer average in prime time for the first quarter. The network didn't make TVNewser's top 40 in total day. The prime time number is okay but I've occasionally seen GSN top 400K for a week or two. (The TVNewser link tends to crash my browser for some odd cybernetic reason. Did Watson have this problem?)
