Not much happening with syndicated game shows in the week ending April 10. Broadcasting & Cable presents the less than pulse-pounding news...Wheel of Fortune 6.9 - down a tick
Jeopardy 5.9 - down a tick, same as the soulmate
Millionaire 2.5 - flat
Family Feud 2.5 - flat
5th Grader 1.1 - up a tick but who cares any more?
Lyrics 0.9 - down a tick and definitely nobody cares any more
TV by the Numbers is obsessing over cancellation prospects for scripted shows I never watch. If and when they put up their top 25 syndie list, I'll post the viewership averages. Hey, they finally put 'em up: Wheel of Fortune 11.0 million (weekend repeat 5.1 million), Jeopardy 9.1 million, Family Feud 3.6 million, Millionaire 3.4 million.
TVNewser says GSN averaged 250K viewers for total day in the week of the Drew and Wendy debuts. Not a very good number by recent standards. GSN didn't make the top 40 in prime time.
Douglas posted the April 18 5:00PM-12:00AM numbers for GSN. Improv-a-Ganza fell back down to 289K viewers for its first-run and Drew is looking more and more like a dud. Speaking of which, Power of 10 keeps dying at 5:00 PM with 222K viewers. Just pull the plug and shuffle the show off to a single run on weekends.
Love Triangle got 305K viewers for its first-run but tanked hard in the repeats. Overall it was a bad night for GSN, a 261K prime time viewership average. Drew and Wendy ain't performing so swell. GSN is even trying a Vegas trip giveaway to perk up Drew's numbers.
