Watson may have lost to a congressman, but the computer triumphed where it really counts. Jeopardy enjoyed its best ratings week in four years. Sadly, every other syndicated game show stumbled and bumbled in the week ending February 20. Broadcasting & Cable presents the sour news...Wheel of Fortune 7.5 - down four ticks
Jeopardy 7.2 - up seven ticks thanks to the machine, but still couldn't overtake Wheel for the week
Millionaire 2.2 - down a tick
Family Feud 1.6 - down a couple ticks
5th Grader 0.9 - down a tick, will it never end?
Lyrics 0.7 - down a tick to finish the miserable list
TV by the Numbers resumed their usual viewership averages after a week of household numbers: Wheel of Fortune 12.2 million (weekend repeat 6.6 million) and Jeopardy 11.6 million. Meredith missed out on the top 25.
