Syndies splattered

Lord knows GSN is having problems with Drew and Wendy, but syndicated game shows also seem to have caught the lower-ratings bug. For a change I'll go to TVNewsCheck for the grim news in the week ending May 8...

Wheel of Fortune 6.3 - down three ticks
Jeopardy 5.2 - down five ticks in sympathy with the soulmate
Millionaire 2.3 - down a couple ticks
Family Feud 2.2 - down a tick
5th Grader 1.0 - down a tick, do the drops ever end?
Lyrics 0.8 - flat, the drops end but nobody cares

TV by the Numbers finally listed the viewership averages for the week ending May 1. But who knows when they'll bother with the averages for the latest week. If they put 'em up, I'll post 'em here.

UPDATE: They're finally up: Wheel of Fortune 10.0 million (weekend repeat 4.2 million) and Jeopardy 8.1 million.
