Syndies: Feud's number three

A little shuffle in the game show ratings for the week ending April 24. Broadcasting & Cable brings the good news for Steve Harvey and company...

Wheel of Fortune 6.5 - down three ticks
Jeopardy 5.7 - down a couple ticks, following the soulmate
Family Feud 2.4 - up a tick into third place
Millionaire 2.3 - down a tick into fourth place
5th Grader 1.1 - up a tick for those still keeping track
Lyrics 1.0 - up a tick and nobody's keeping track

TV by the Numbers is getting very prompt lately with their top 25 syndie list. The viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 10.4 million, Jeopardy 8.8 million, Family Feud 3.6 million. To add insult to injury, Meredith slipped out of the list as well as losing third place in the household ratings.

With Improv-a-Ganza and Love Triangle performing badly, GSN crashed out of TVNewser's top 40 cable network list for the week of April 25-May 1. This new schedule just isn't working out. Which is why GSN is again scrambling the lineup beginning May 9. Sherri Shepherd's Newlwywed Game will get five showings every weekday. That's a whole lotta Sherri goin' on.
